I understand your feelings.
I OFTEN think "whatever happened to me", too... Where did I go? You are not alone. Hopefully, there is some comfort in that.
I have known people that have lost their sense of smell and taste - my aunt for one. It may have been part of her auto-immune disorder. There is a genetic problem with auto-immune within my family and most of the female members have some manifestation of it, either with Chemical Sensitivities or Fibromylagia or other things. We all test with a positive titer. Mine is higher at times than at others.
I also knew someone that lost their sense of taste because of a zinc deficiency, they were exposed to a lot of copper and it pulled zinc from their system and one of the symptoms was a loss of taste. Strange but true.
