If one can easily breath through nose that enlargement of Turbinates is not an issue as cause for Anosmia. They are highly vascular and spongy.Their size...
Hi Alice, Welcome to the group:-) Have you had any problems with delayed/missing puberty or fertility? If so then you possibly have Kallmann Syndrome...
For something that is "virtually impossible to describe or encapsulate," you have given a damn good description, IHMO. For me, it was not the loss of the sense...
Any person who has studied the reproductive behavior of mammals will tell you that the senses of smell play a very important role in such behavior. There do,...
Wow Karl, Congratulations on getting your sense of smell back! What type of surgery did you undergo? I'm so very desperate. I hope I can gain mine back...
... Did anyone consider the poor roses? They must be soooo confused. Every day big, gorgeous flowers walk(!) past them without notecing them. They scream 'Mate...
But surely, Karl, you are not suggesting that one needs a sense of smell to have a healthy sexual relationship or to be a good parent, right? I imagine that I...

Had the damn polyps cut out of my nose and sinuses. That was just the beginning though, had to do more to keep them from coming back quickly. Several of us...
Yes, if you smell like a flower, you are at risk of attracting insects, including those that sting. Be careful what perfumes you use. Lacking ambulation, many...
It seems that most humans are much less reliant on the sense of smell than are other mammals, but I really did miss being able to participate in farting...
It's funny... We all know how difficult it is to gain sympathy and understanding for not having a sense of smell. We all know the dumb responses that we ...
Hi Ed and all, Also thinking aloud:-) Now that I've retired (and got my free buss pass ;-), I've taken up study again purely for fun and interest. I've just...
Hi Jan and all, SOOO true! I have often felt the same way, that I would only want a sense of smell if I could turn in off when it became inconvenient or...
Well, you could always carry around a peg to slip onto your nose if it all got too much for you! I think there's something quite significant in what Jan says...
Man, that post was great! It was fairly convincing that gaining a sense of smell, for a congenital anosmic, would be truly terrifying! But I really liked...
Now imagine how it is for the types of dysosmia where all you get all the time is the "phantom stink" ...something like rotting flesh or worse, 24/7. Now that...
This thread is so interesting. For the record, my sex drive has diminished significantly since losing my sense of smell/taste about 5 years ago even though I...
Olfactory Implants I am sure all of you are aware of cochlear implants which have proved a Boon to the cochearl deaf patients. Hope someday some scientist will...
Even if olfactory implants were available, wouldn't they only be useful to acquired anosmics? As a 45 year old congenital anosmic, I wouldn't know what to do...
NOW it is not only the people who have cochlear type deafness being benefited bu cochealr implants, rather even those who have their hearing nerve ( going to...
Hi Kirche Pinching your nose does work, but in my case I'd KNOW there was something bad still in the vicinity and I wouldn't want to breathe it either, so...
From what I've read from phantosmics and parosmics the rotten stink is the worst form, although I did speak with one woman who had the dreadful smell who said...
I DO have tinnitus, but it really isn't that bad for me. Generally, I cannot even tell unless its quiet and I am trying to go to sleep. I've had it since I...
I've got tinnitus too, in my right ear. I'm also lucky in that I only notice it when it's quiet and I'm lying in bed. Always notice it more after a few beers! ...
You're right, Arun. There would be a benefit even for osmics. If able to wirelessly recalibrate the implant, it could be used in many ways, such as toxic...
Hi all, There are already "mechanical noses" that can detect particular airborne molecules even ones that don't smell - think of a CO gas detector. But I think...
