HI Darla,
I also, had those smells, but they have since left, and what I have left now
is a very diminished sense of smell, but the food taste have changed and are
starting to resemble the norm. I hope it happens soon for her, I know what's it
like to have that distorted sense.
Good Luck. Bill

Hi Rhonda There is evidence to suggest that the nerve is not implicated in viral attacks. I'm working on a feature (that unfortunately we won't see until 2005)...
Mick, So you are telling me that viral anosmia as a result of a bad cold damaged my olfactory receptors. Also, that these receptors will regenerate themselves....
Rhonda I cannot diagnose anything I'm afraid - I am 3500 miles (or more) from where you are, and I have no medical training. I can tell you that I am a science...
... Do you have any data about length of time of loss versus regeneration of receptors? I've had my anosmia for about 2.5 months. Some of my sense of smell has...

I hope the receptor theory is the correct one. I cannot think of never smelling again. I was thinking this was very trivial until now. I am sorry but i am not...
My sense of taste is very weird since my epithelials got damaged. If something that I'm tasting has an artifical taste, I have an easier time detecting it in...
Yes, my sense of taste seems much more damaged than my sense of smell. I
can taste correctly once the food gets to the very back of my tongue. That
is why I...

Hello. I also have taste distortation. I've pretty much lost over 90% of my sense of taste, but whenever I do taste, it's distorted. I've learned to live with...
I have taste distortion too. Especially with sweet stuff. I can eat chocolate, peanutbutter bars, cake, sugar cereal, etc. and they will all taste sweet BUT...
I was thinking the same thing ... to locate some aromas I could smell, however faintly, and to routinely sniff them. Keep those little receptors "on the job"...
Patty, mine came back slowly (over about 3 years I'd say, after I started treatment). If it was viral anosmia then the cells will regenerate cell by cell, so...
