Yes. Same here. I made pasta the other day and had to apologize to my kids. It was flavorless. My daughter told me that it tasted great. IDKY everything is tasteless.

Hello, I remember that too. Like for the first year. I craved anything green which I could also taste and vanilla milkshakes from Burger King. Those were so yummy when everything else tasted like cardboard.

I wish I could loose weight! I have had every horrible side effect that Gleevac (Imatinib) lists as side effects....except weight loss! Sigh.
