Hello everyone, hope you’re doing okay today 😊

Has your sense of taste, smell, touch, or sound changed over the years, either because of illness, age, or treatment?

These small shifts can have a surprisingly big impact on daily life, from enjoying meals to noticing pain or temperature changes.

So we’d love to hear:

Have you noticed a dulling or sensitivity in your senses?

Has it changed the way you eat, move, or interact with your environment?

What adjustments have helped you cope?

It’s something people don’t often talk about, but it matters more than we realize.

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity Team 🌼

Yes mine has changed because the chemo treatments. Everything tastes so bland.

Aging has put me in hearing aids. Stunning that I take them out and really can barely hear anything.
