I had something very similar happen to me about three years ago. I caught a really bad cold and lost my sense of taste and smell which is normal. You can't taste if you can't smell. However after about a week I recovered from the cold but could not get my smell and taste senses back.
I went to my doctor and they ran all kind of tests including a CAT scan on my brain. No abnormalities were detected. The doctor indicated that it could be allergy related and put me on Allegra-D. The results were very dramatic and I recovered both senses within hours. I don't know if your problem could be allergy related or not but mine started in the winter also and it worked for me.
Good luck on your health. One last factor, could also be weight related. The heavier I got the more health problems I've run into. I've started a diet and have had some encouraging results. Check out my post on Nutrisystem if you are interested.
Good luck to you again Neil. We'll be pulling for you!
