I then went to a natureapath doctor----I dont know if I am using the right spelling but to continue~~~~~. we had a long visit discussing my *feelings*--like how tired was I--(which I wasnt)--was I able to sleep~~(like a rock I said--for years I take a zzzz in the PM(about 2 hours)---and then hit the sack around 10-11---and zzzzzzzz till 7 the next morning--(the only time I would get up during the night would be to *P* and kinda have a nice snack
-thats when Lou knew Iwas up cus I would dig into any of his goodies--(specially chocolate donuts or ice cream) no taste -I would *think it* which I do to this day) and then just fall back to sleep!!Anyway this DR> gave me liquid Zinc and several other pills-and she warned me that *when* I taste that ZincI would HATE her
cus of the horrid taste--take a few weeks-Well --the following morning I took a teaspoonful of liquid ZINC and I TASTED the worst horrid thing in the world--yet I was Xcited--
wow, thought I---One day~~~so I sent her an e-mail saying !!I hate U already!!
\She called me with amazement---The !!amazement!! was that one day--
zip thereafter??She couldnt get it either--thus followed more pills --ZIP-
Had my stools tested---had my saliva tested-- and alotta
talk--more pills--this went on for several months until I had it and said to L. enuf--and she wasnt covered under insurances~~that didnt bother me 2 much cus I figured if my smell and taste come back--time for 
-I sorta knew she could tell I was close to saying *bye-bye* and OH--I asked her had she ever cured anyone of these *loses* and she !!noooo but I did help one college kid that was Xhausted from all the college courses laid upon him!! Now did I look like a college kid *wiped-out* from courses--gimme a better answer--
Oh and she called one day and told L. that there was a bottle of pills waiting for me at her office-pick em up and I STUPIDLY did not ask what they were/and for what
Well L, got the pills--I took !!1!! and had the big *D* for a full day!!
Forgot what she told me --afterwards--what they were--told her I used but the 1--Thats ok- she replied--someone else can still BUY the bottle -tightening up the cap--and putting it back with the assorted bottles of pills~~
How do U like that one!!!
So thats my tale of *woe*
My nurse friend --cross the street--felt the same- ZINC-and the morning I tasted it and did the UGH--good god thing --I ran cross the street--banged on her door and relayed the ZINC taste and she did the awful ZINC dance 2--
good god Barb said Eileen isnt that horrid--thus a big chat with herI cant seem to answer a question with a simple yes/no
--(ZINC) look!! So thanks for the suggestion--that pooped!!!
