Hi Happy New Year! I was just wondering if other anosmics have found they can taste something on the first bite but then the taste is gone? I also keep...
Hi Rebecca It's very common in recovering anosmics. It drove me nuts. My doctor calls it smell (or flavour) extinction. After a receptor fires it can't do so...

Me too Rebecca- Just as Mick says, but it was interesting for me as a head trauma anosmic because our receptors are not supposed to be injured. I thought that...
Good news then I think, I will keep my fingers crossed that I continue to get more and more smells and tastes. It would be so strange to have my smell back,...
Almost certainly it was me. That's my other obsession ;-))))) Cheers Mick...

Hi Rebecca, can taste something on the first bite but then the taste is gone Still happening to me after 3 years. Frustrating, but better than nothing. ...
Rebecca, I have had intermittent anosmia for over three years now. I'll usually go through several months with no smell sensation and than, for no apparent...
Hi, Rebecca, There has been several times that I thought I smelled something like coffee brewing or something cooking, but it was faint and went away very...
When I do have tastes/smells that is usually what happens--I detect something and it is gone within seconds. The docs assumed a cold with me too until I found...
I have rheumatoid arthritis (another auto immune disease) so I maybe my loss of smell could also be caused by my immune system attacking itself. ... something...
Yes, I am currently recovering after more than 4 years of only being able to taste and smell while taking Prednisone. Brief tastes and smells are certainly...
Hi! I'm new to the group and a new (recent) anosmic. Been without smelling for about 2.5 months now and it's annoying as heck. My GP prescribed several...
Just thought I'd quickly introduce myself to the group. I'm Martine from Milton Keynes, Near London. I suffered a head trauma about 8 weeks ago and instantly...
Hi Martine Welcome. I live in England too (London) but I am (or was) a viral anosmic. Lots of headbangers on here though who'll probably offer you help and...

Welcome Martine! Sorry to hear about your accident... but glad that you found our group. I am in the same boat as you, just a few years later. Check the...
Hi and thanks for you speedy and welcoming welcome :-) I've been pouring all over the various threads on the board and yes picked up on the Methyl-B12 tip...
It's Jaffa cakes that are or aren't taxed isn't it? They are considered (or not) a luxury because they have cake in their title, unlike biscuits which don't...

Hi Martine, Welcome to the group! Don't listen to your neurologist (well, listen to them, they're probably very clever, but unlikely to have much experience on...
happy New Year to you too:-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cake NOT my favourite source of info, but since this isn't for anything important, it'll do ;-)...
Brilliant! Thanks for sending the link, how fascinating the cake vs biscuit debate. I'm torn to say which way I would vote, they are handy like a biscuit and...
Ouch! Martine! A double hit... that is no fun at all! You will also be a strange case with two traumas... if you lost your smell with the first fall yet no...
Hi Martine In that case you'll be dunking your hobnobs and ginger nuts ;-) I'd vote for whichever way keeps the Jaffa Cakes cheaper :-) Keeping as much of a...
Actually I'm the kind of person that's too busy to really worry about it that much (so far!). I don't have a problem with insensitivity, which is largely just...
