Has anyone else lost their sense of smell. I have and I was told I would not get it back. Can't believe how much I miss it. It's actually kind of scary. I was out BBQ, answered the phone and forgot that I had chicken on the BBQ, needless to say that by the time I remembered I had slightly burned one side.

Cindy how long have you lost your smell? Mine comes and goes too. It is annoying, some days I taste and smell good and others days it is very diminished. It is medicine and WG related. I personally would not believe you won't get it back.
Are you in remission?

I go through the same thing Elephant. My taste and smell has basically been non existent since last October. I was able to taste and smell a little bit yesterday for about an hour and had a nice lunch - beef taco salad. I can definitely sympathise with you Cindy of not being able to smell. How long have you not been able to smell? Does it come and go in any type of cycle?

That would be very scary for me. Being able to detect odors keeps my bird alive and my own lungs okay. I hope all of you recover that ability for good.

I think that Jack said once that he couldn't taste or smell for a few years ant then it came back and then went again for some time again and then came back again. Poor Jack. He has been through alot.

Cindy, Phil and elephant, I hope your taste comes back at least once in a while. I would be terribly lost without it.

The interesting thing is when I can't taste, I look for quality food. Then when I can really taste something that's when I want something really good...muffins....chocalote shakes....oh see how I go for the sugar.

Thanks for a great dinner menu idea, Phil. The Taco Salad was excellent!

I have not been able to smell for probably about 10 months. My ENT said that there is too much damage so there is very chance, next to nil that I would get back my sense of smell. I do a times get a whiff of things but I don't know if that is just my brain triggering something, my imagination or the real thing. It really is just a second or less of smell. I do have the ability to taste, it does have to be on the stronger side, but I think if I lost both it would be difficult.

It was probably confirmed by a CT scan of your sinuses. I totally understand Cindy. I have permanent damage to the Maxillary sinus. I am hoping that your smell might come back. I am sorry to hear that. I too eat stronger smelling/tasting foods.
