Taste bud change

[flexfire10]

I've noticed months after the hemorrhagic stroke that I still have minimal numbness in the lower part of my leg and sensitivity in my left arm and hand everything else is fine. Has anyone experienced a change in their sense of taste?
Thanks,
Dorothy

Is your appetite and taste bud change your remaining issues, is there anything else that's residual ?

Hi Sara,
Neuroscientist have discovered that the brain repairs itself... over an eight  year study. They have found a pathway providing evidence that regarding neurogenesis where brain cells >>>neurons>>> re circuit, renew and repair themselves. The information gets very involved and complicated and is very interesting and informative! :)
Please keep in touch and have a great day!!!
Google neurogenesis and you can read a world of information about....

You are very fortunate.  I'm not familiar with neurogenesis.

I know everything will be fully restored in due time with the wonderful process of neurogenesis.......!!!!! :) hang in there!!!!

The minimal numbness doesn't pose any problems just noticeable to me.

Thanks for responding back.  I had my stroke about 6 years ago at age 56.

Could I ask you your age and how long ago did you have your stroke?  

It is helpful to share information.  Do you have the same appetite that you had before?  A friend of mine who had a stroke in her early 50s said that she didn't have the same appetite either, but she isn't skinny like I am.  I was overweight before my stroke and I couldn't lose the pounds.

Any other stroke effects that you still have?  I have many continuing problems following mine.  But if you'd rather not go into it, I fully understand.

Best wishes to you,
Sara

Hi Sara it's so good to share  with others about the after affects. With me it's been acute sensitivity to tart foods as well and anything that has a tart ingredient my taste bud picks upon it immediately It realy doesn't bother me that much but thought it could be caused from  my bp meds :)
If you don't mind me asking what is how age and hoe long since your post stroke?
Thanks and have a great day ,
Dorothy :)

Yes.  For one thing, I have not had much of an appetite since my stroke, except of sweets which is a side effect of one of my medications. More specifically, following my stroke I couldn't stand anything sweet.  This being strange after having a very sweet tooth.  Unfortunately, the sweet tooth came back about 6 to 8 months later.  But I couldn't stand anything with the slightest tartness.   I used to love lemon in everything.  I couldn't even stand to sink my tooth into a cherry or grape, much less put lemon into anything.  Then the tartness tolerance has gotten better after 5 years following my stroke.  

I would be interested in what changed with your sense of taste change.  Please let me know.
