I have never heard of losing smell or taste after RAI. I also was never informed of this risk but never experienced either – food tasted the same and my sense of smell was just as acute as it has always been. I did a quick Google search when I read your post and all I am seeing is cancer websites, so I’m assuming it has something to do with the dose of I-131 that cancer patients get, since our is much, much smaller.
