Hi - yes we're all here.  just living with the scurge!  Mine is viral since March 2007.  Acupunture helped immensely with bad smells.  Don't get 'em randomly since.  But if there's meat cooking on the grill, pan, broiler or slow cooker - YUCK!!!  I have much difficulty concentrating, and shopping, which I used to LOVE, causes major high anxiety.  Unless I have a list, I'm done.  Not sure if it's related to loss of smell and taste, but I never had the problem prior. Good luck! Holly in San Diego --- On Tue, 7/7/09, Pat <patandtaz2@...> wrote: From: Pat <patandtaz2@...> Subject: Re: [dysosmia] Re: HELLO I am new and SMELL...................
