Have you ever lost taste due to your MS?

Hashimoto et al. Bilateral hypogeusia caused by a small lesion in the lower midbrain tegmentum. BMJ Case Rep. 2012 Sep 11;2012. pii: bcr2012006837. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2012-006837. 

This is a case report of an MSer who developed loss of taste on both sides of the tongue and mouth (bilateral hypogeusia) due to a small lesion in the lower midbrain tegmentum (area in the brainstem). Sweet taste was diminished only on one side and salty, sour and bitter tastes were diminished bilaterally. 


"Loss of taste is actually quite rare in MS, but we don't know how rare! Let's find out?"
