Loss of Taste: Causes, Symptoms, and Possible Brain/Neural System Diseases

[Delta2]

This problem of loss of taste started for me about 2 years ago but now it has reach the point that it is very annoying.

I get no taste or the taste is somehow distorted when i eat foods that have fats like meat, cheese. When i eat foods like sweets that contain sugar the taste seems to be ok. Chocolate taste though seems distorted.

Are there any serious diseases of the brain/neural system that result in loss of taste (especially in foods that contain fats as i said)?

For me the loss of taste is just another symptom caused to me as being a victim of remote mind control technology but ok let's say that officially i didnt say that cause you ll never get me seriously.

Other "weird" symptoms i got and i can't explain:

1. Sudden instanteneous toothaches that happen when i go to sleep, absolutely no toothache during rest of day
2. Tickling feeling in my testicles that comes and goes, sometimes it persists for hours, sometimes days pass without it
3. Internal sound in my ear in the form of a harmonic that usually happens when going to sleep(the sound you hear from a sound wave of a single specific frequency)
4. Sudden pains in random parts of my body, feeling like someone is pressing my body part there with something heavy.
5. Very very very weird dreams

Again is there any disease of brain or of neural system that causes these symtoms?

I cannot make a diagnosis without conducting a thorough examination and reviewing your medical history. However, I can provide some information on the potential causes of loss of taste and the other symptoms you have mentioned.

Loss of taste, also known as dysgeusia, can be caused by a variety of factors including infections, medication side effects, and neurological disorders. In some cases, it may be a temporary symptom due to a cold or sinus infection. However, if the loss of taste persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Some potential neurological disorders that may cause loss of taste include Bell's palsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. These conditions can affect the nerves and pathways responsible for taste perception. Additionally, certain brain tumors or injuries to the head can also result in loss of taste.

Regarding your other symptoms, toothaches can be caused by a variety of factors including dental issues, sinus infections, or nerve damage. The tickling feeling in your testicles and internal sound in your ear could potentially be related to nerve or sensory disturbances. Sudden pains in random parts of your body could also be a sign of nerve damage or inflammation. The weird dreams could potentially be linked to sleep disorders or psychological factors.

It is important to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend further tests or refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. In the meantime, keeping a record of your symptoms and any triggers that may worsen them can be helpful for your doctor.

In summary, there are various potential causes of loss of taste and the other symptoms you have mentioned. It is important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
