I saw this in yesterday's paper, and frankly, this should have been investigated as soon as ONE person lost their smell. I am so grateful my smell has...
I contacted an attorney yesterday about this. They said if I can find the box of Zicam I used in April, 2007, or have a receipt, I'd have a claim. A...
Holly- maybe it would help if you contacted others in the class-action suit. I do believe the article I read mentions one of the names. Perhaps reaching out to...
Holly, I kept the box of Zicam (in my refridgerator so no one else would use or destroy). I don’t know if I have a receipt, but could probably find one –...
I threw out my box before I even knew there was a relationship. I had the virus and frankly can not remember taking the whole box! But it really doesn't make...
Hi Danna - if I had the box, I'd be all over a claim. Go for it! You're right - it won't bring your smell back, but it might help smooth over some of the...
Thanks, Pat. That would be great! Let me know if you need my email address.  I don't know if it shows up here at the blog site. Holly ... From: Pat...
Does anyone have the name of the attorney involved in the class action? I never gave it a thought; but I still saved my Zicam bottle; and it’s even older…...

Danna, you are right on!!!!! I saw this letter on-line in 2006 warning about Zicam. Those bast-rds HAD to know there might be a problem. Again the only way to...
For the first time in over 2 years I had the great experience of feeling my eyes sting and well with tears while chopping onions this morning. Unfortunately...
Thank you for that little ray of hope. I hope it continues for you. If you don't mind me asking, is your dysomia due to an illness, or due to head trauma?...
My dysosmia is due to head trauma. Almost 2 1/2 years now. I got a split second whiff of mint the other day, it was so wonderful. While I do not smell the...

Mel, That is wonderful news!! It¹ so funny how a thing like smelling onions can be a joyous occasion. I¹m looking forward to the day that I can say the ...
  hey Danna-, GET THAT ONE YEAR LIMIT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!!!! Mayo clinic told me THE SAME EXACT THING-LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT! Well, it took two full years,...
It is 5 years since I have had no smell, very limited taste, no hunger, and no appetite and no sensation in the digestive system. I am also unable to cry...

I lost my sense of smell in 2004 after a viral infection. I have been getting smells back very slowly. I went through the awful smell stage....got a whiff of...
I was also told the same "one year lie" - I lost my sense of smell in Feb 2007 from a virus and had practically no sense of smell for over a year - but it has...
Hi Luke Something must have altered the nerves in the brain cells during the 2nd open craniotomy for brain aneurysms and I was given very little support for...
I'm with the rest who say that doctors don't always get it right when they say "If you can't smell anything within "x" number of months that's probably as good...
