Just found this group. Never knew so many other people had this condition (or that there were so many different forms of it!) I lost my sense of smell while...
Many of us who had good senses of smell as children but lost them in adulthood have an inflammatory condition that can be treated, and, at least in my case,...
Quite the contrary -- if you can smell the cola while burping, that means that the olfactory receptors are working just fine (or you are having an olfactory...
there are LOTS of people who's anosmia is congenital, i've read posts on this site, though i have to admit i don't remember reading about a family that it was...
i know what i taste/smell karl and i know what i (sometimes) smell afterwards, you saying the olfactory bulb is working normally, well yes, i go along with...
No, I've never been to an ENT for this problem. As it is so prevelant in my family, growing up with it was matter of fact. It never occured to me that this was...
Thamks Brendan! All this is so very encouraging. It would be amazing if my family's hereditary anosmia could be halted. I had always thought it was just...
The diagnosis usually given is "vasomotor rhinitis" or something like that, which essentially means that they don't really know why tissues in your nose swell...
Correcting a deviated septum was part of my treatment too, but I think a small part. Your deviated septum may be congenital or it may have resulted from an...
I haven't had the burping smell sensation--I'll try it next time I drink a cola. I have a similar theory about the olfactory nerves not being able to connect...
In a message dated 4/2/05 10:18:03 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I am to a point where I can "smell" almost everything...but the smell is distorted...sometims...
... drink a cola. I have a similar theory about the olfactory nerves not being able to connect with pathways that lead to places in the brain where memories...
yes, i know what you mean and i like your style, u siad pretty much what i wanted to say in a fraction of the words. about the cola? it's not like i'm...
Hello all! I'm a student at the University of Michigan, and I'm part of a group doing research on anosmia, phantosmia, and other smell disorders. We would...
Hard to say what 100% is. Sometimes my sense of smell seems more acute than other times. Sometimes I can already identify what is cooking for dinner before I...
If the prednisone is going to work, it will probably take a few days. Keep an eye on your blood pressure if the dosage is high. The worst poison ivy/oak I...
Hi Karl, I came on to this site early in March because I had lost my sense of smell and taste. I finally got it back, with God's grace, and maybe Alpha Lipoic...
I may be way off base here, but I have assumed that what regenerates is not the olfactory nerve but rather the olfactory receptors (specialised neurons in the...
Wow - the treatment options sound formidable. So a possible "allergy" may be the root cause....huh... We do have similar physiological characteristics in other...
Many folks with inflammmatory anosmia have reported that their sense of smell sometimes comes back for a short while while they are taking a shower. That...
As a viral anosmic (and then hyposmic) I also noticed this too. When I mentioned it to my specialist he said that alkali flavours are detected by the olfactory...
Karl is right, as far as medical research goes. In viral cases the damage might be only to the surface olfactory cells. These are destroyed and the sufferer...
Hello. My nephew just graduated from U of M last April. I live in the Detroit burbs, so just let me know what exactly it is you need and perhaps I can help...
I don't know, I haven't paid that close attention. I receive so much junk email, I just read them as I receive them. ... __________________________________ Do...
Thanks, Mick for your clarification. It's not a big deal. Although, John Wesley is admired by devote born again Christians as a great man of God. He is the ...
It's called Methodism here too - I suspect he started the movement here and the US caught the bug. Good weather here too... cricket season starts in one week....
Correct Pippy :-) There is NO moderator. The owner/moderator went AWOL a long time ago. This is why this group gets hit by porno, commercial and religious spam...
... I'm glad that baseball season is starting. If I see any more ultra-exciting overtime college basketball games, I'm going to have a heart attack. :-) I like...
Today I went to see my homeopathic nutritionist. She does bio-energetic testing. She has a machine that reads yoor body much like an EKG. I went to see her...
