We know ENT's don't get much, if any, training on parosmia/phantosmia, but do they get much training on laryngo-pharnageal reflux disease? And if so, wouldn't...
Hate to opine, but I think you are chasing rainbows. Anosmia is usually the result of nerve damage. In my case, a result of mid-face trauma due to an auto...
Hi Andi I am quite similar in that i am a 40 year old male and have had anosmia for approx 18 years now. Yes it affects the quality of life that you have as...
I can "smell" and "taste", however I am unable to determine scents or flavors. Remember, the tongue provides sweet, salty, sour, bitter. I can tell if a...
I do get brief "flashes" of smells, so I believe the nerves are not completely destroyed and are therefore treatable. Thanks for all advice, I am open to any...
It probably depends to some extent on whether it is a real fruit juice or just sugar water with added aromas and colours. Real cherry tastes different from...
I have learned than if one can laugh at oneself, life is less overwhelming: Shortly after my accident, I remember having a craving for egg salad sandwiches, so...
Hi all I've been a lurker for a bit. Lost my sense of aroma and flavor May 12, 2008 and a 2-week bout of a running nose. I didn't think much about the ...
I hear that! I use the microwave timer and also have one by my Mac, just in case. What a nuisance! ________________________________ From: Mary Ellen Granruth...
... I'd never had a 'head trauma' or anything other than mild seasonal colds so there must be other causal headings for types of Anosmia than "viral" or...
Thanks for answering Dr. Arun. Marjorie ... From: Arun Gupta To: anosmia@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 7:29 AM Subject: Re: [anosmia]...
I beg to differ, but I have had anosmia for over 4 years now and have just recently begun experiencing a reversal of my condition. Except for when I get a cold...
Hi,  I have laryngo-pharnageal reflux disease andhave to have surgery on my vocal cords. My sense of smell is fine, however my husband has anosmia, probably...
HI Mary, Sinus diseases are definitively a cause for anosmia, as they limit the air entry in upper part of nose. Does your husband has any other nasal symptom...
My point was that anosmia is not always due to nerve damage. I really don't think that I ever had any nerve damage, because Prednisone always brought back my...
Dr. Arun and Group, I wrote my last e-mail incorrectly, I meant to say, I HAD surgery on my vocal cords. I had a cyst growing on one and polyps(nodes) on both....
Hi Mary, Spasm may be caused by acid from stomach ,coming Wrong way up the oesophagus. Try some acid secretion inhibitors (PPI) eg Rabiprazole plus GI pro...
I completely agree with you zepolie - hope is incredibly important, even if it is ultimately misplaced. If you hope and find a cure then great, but if you...
zepolie, I agree with you. There seems to be a consensus on this site that Anosmia is either the result of physical trauma or a severe viral disease damaging ...
There are plenty of us here whose anosmia was not congenital (in the usual sense), not viral, and not due to headbanging. I think you are included in that...
Richard - I lost mine gradually as well. I was experiencing dizzy spells and smelling phantom odors. I had 3 MRIs, 1 EEG, 2 CAT scans and even a nuclear SPECT...
I am posting for the first time with a general question. I had a bout of anosmia about 3 years ago that lasted for 1 1/2 years. I was fortunate that my smell...
