Thanks guys. Feel free to put your stories in the thread. It should work as an interesting way to get to now each other as well. ^_^ And Kirche, I had the same...
I was about seven, second grade, when I and my family realized I couldn't smell. A skunk had snuck into our classroom over the weekend and sprayed. All of the...
I didn't miss out on anything in school. I remember in second grade all of us being asked to smell and taste different things and identify each one. I relied...
Like Kevin, I didn't miss anything. My first inkling was a time when someone asked me to smell a toilet deodorising block. I remember trying to guess what they...
Hi everyone I have recently had flu and once again, just as the sinus is beginning to clear and my chesty cough is abating, my smell has returned! It happens...
I have, and so have others. Curious, isn't it? Perhaps being totally congested during the illness prevents allergens and irritants from getting in there and...
Hi there, This has also happened a few times to me also after a heavy cold - it is strange but so very much appreciated having not been able to smell for over...
Hey there Kevin, I have just started increasing my spray dosage to follow your example. I just wanted to clarify your directions & make sure I'm on the same...
Yes, Kevin, I was wondering the same thing. I don't want to use 48 sprays if 24 will do. After reading Kevin's email, I've been using two squirts in each...
I wrote earlier that I could smell coffee brewing this morning. I tasted the coffee and muesli. It was great. Then I decided to make soup. I could smell and...
Hey Neschie, That's wonderful news!! I, too, have increased my dosage (but am also having trouble remembering to adhere to it) & although I'm not yet...
The normal dosgage calls for 2 sprays in each nostril once a day (4 total). I increased my dosage to 2 sprays in each nostril 3 times a day (12 total). I have...
Ah!! NOW I get it! Thank you for setting us straight. It sounds like your formula may be helping Aneschke, hopefully me, too! We'll keep you posted!  ...
There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the dosage regimen I use. The following is the dosage schedule that I use: 2 sprays in each nostril (4 total) in the...
I lost my sense of smell about 8 years ago and was told that my olfactory nerve and died. However, I new this was not the case as for about a day or two each...
I INVERT my head after each spray in the nostril. This allows the Rhinocort to stay high in the nasal cavity instead of running out. By invert, I mean I sit on...
Hi, JEANNE.I'M AFRAID MY being able to taste and smell was short lived. I don't think the relief was from the nasal spray. I had an upper endoscopy Monday and...
Neschie, I also have a very bad neck. I have phantosmia and use saline solution to treat it. I used to spray it up my nose in the same position as Kevin and...
... I can tell you from the responses here , and those on other forums ( im physically disabled you see too ) that there is 2 groups and 2 very different...
Well Im using you were sedated you were given also given anaesthetic ? I noticed x2 there seems to be some connection whenever I had lidocaine , and plan to...
I had small experience yesterday that got me wondering about this question , because it seems most of the time there are faint smells ( usually faint all the...
Hey Neschie, Thanks for sending the link to the diagram, that's the best one I've seen yet! More later! Â Â Jeanne Hey Neschie, Thanks for sending the link...
Yes, I was sedated but no true anesthesia. When the nurse called me with follow-up questions, she told me the cocktail consisted of demerol, valium and Versed....
Matt, since becoming anosmic, I can smell nothing most of the time. BUT, once a week or twice a month (I haven't kept track), I can smell the chlorine in my...
Thanks for that tip, Marjorie. I'll try it today. I've been sitting in a chair with knees wide apart, then bending over until the top of my head points toward...
I had Valium and Versed once and it was fantastic. I felt like I had slept for 20 hours and felt like I had all this energy and was totally rejuvenated even...
And you're right to say that it all depends on the circumstances. For instance, I love to eat and cook! Love it. And my absolute favorite thing to do is go...
Me, too! I had energy. Felt like I had had a great night's sleep. I couldn't understand how Michael Jackson could take all those drugs.He had so much money, an...
