I'd lost most of my ability to smell over the last few months, but it seems it is coming back, though not nearly as acute as before. It started the exact same night I first drank diet soda, which seemed to have other odd effects or maybe it was coincidental, but I wouldn't touch the stuff again, as I had a weird chemical-like "phantom taste" of the same diet soda taste (even though I only drank one bottle over three days) for about THREE WEEKS non-stop - even though I WASN'T drinking any after that! It really is annoying and affects my ability to enjoy food (as part of tasting has a lot to do with smell). I couldn't even eat bread without a strange "gag" reflex, which happened with almost everything I ate. It's a lot better now, though, but I know how annoying it can be. (Reply) |

Do you know what caused you to lose your sense of smell? I lost mine in August 1996, and didn't get it back until the end of last year, or I think most of it is back. It really sucked, as food became really uninteresting and many foods I liked either didn't taste good or actually tasted really bad, chocolate, for example, tasted like dirt. I still can't appreciate peanut butter like I used to. It still tasted pretty bad to me. It good to hear it's coming back to you, and so soon, too. I was really miserable without my sense of smell. You dreams seemed to focus on noses, I noticed. (Reply) |

Fuzzyant, this must have been when we stopped receiving email notifications that someone had commented on our dream (Oct. 2009) -- I am just now reading this for the first time. I've been to two very highly specialized MD's now who have both told me that they don't know what caused me to lose my sense of smell, and there is at the present time no way of getting it back. One doctor was so kind about telling me this that I knew that it really is true that the science for understanding anosmia is still kind of in the Dark Ages ... I have times where I start to begin to smell things, but then it just goes away. I'm not sure anymore if that means I'll ever be able to smell a rose again! :( (Reply) |

Sorry for the terrible time lapse for a reply! The website is buggy, and I never received a notification that you had commented. I highly recommend an inexpensive (less than $40) digital voice recorder to just put under the edge of your pillow. You'll know which button to press by touch, and you'll be SHOCKED at what you recorded when you wake up later on ... and have no memory of. (Reply) |
