Re: [anosmia] New member

Hey Karen!
This group has really helped me- I just joined a couple weeks ago. it's
so nice to be able to share stories with people going through the same
things as you! I can definitely understand about the depression. I've been
having problems for the past year, and doctors are not very supportive for
some reason. Anyway, welcome to the group. I think that we are the ones
who are going to find a cure for this!!!

Hang in there,
Katie
