case 0847


Last year I had a severe respiratory infection for about a month. At the time, I lost my sense of smell and taste, which I thought was normal given the infection. Since then I have not had a full sense of smell or taste and about two months ago I started to get a very unusual smell. When I brush my teeth, drink coffee, beer or wine, I have the same taste/smell. Sometimes my skin smells like it and sometimes food. Not everything I eat or drink has the same smell. I still do not have a full sense of taste when I eat.

At the age of 27 I had a severe cold with fever that lasted for more than 15 days. Within three days I lost my sense of smell and now, at 50, I still can't smell.

case 0849


Ten months ago I started to smell smoke and waste smells even when I was in my room. I only used to smell this during some minutes when sitting down after a long walk. Now I sometimes smell the smell of alcohol and smoke when I breath...

case 0850


I have always had sinus issues but never did anything about them until just a few years ago. For a month or so all I could smell was something resembling a dead mouse. Then it would be an overwhelming smell of flowers. A CT scan showed that there was some blockage and my septum was crooked. Now I can't smell things like bleach and a dirty diaper, yet I have an overwhelming smell of perfume at random times, a smell no one else even standing next to me can smell. I do not wear perfume for this very reason. It's just strange for me, being able to smell some things, yet not others. It's frustrating. The strangest thing is, I wear a positive airway pressure machine at night and during some nights I can smell the strong perfume smell with my full face mask on. At times I literally have to cover my nose because the smell is so overwhelming. But why can't I smell food or the dirty diaper? That's what confuses me.

case 0851


I suffered a traumatic brain injury six months ago. I can no longer smell scents and I cannot taste any flavors. I can taste salty, sweet, tangy and bitter, but for example, all ice cream is the same: cold and sweet. I can recognize if a smell is fruity, but all fruit-scented things smell the same, sort of like spoiled strawberries. It's very frustrating, and at times depressing.

case 0852


I had a viral infection with flu-like symptoms earlier this year. I took antibiotics and after this bout I became aware that I could no longer smell anything. I used to cook by smell — now it's by memory.

case 0853


For the last two years I could not smell anything. Earlier this year I then had laparoscopic surgery to remove a gallstone. After the surgery I could suddenly smell again, but it only lasted for five days.

case 0854


For a few weeks I have this really bad smell up my nose. It's making me feel sick. The actual mucus smells when I blow my nose. I never had this before. I can smell this most of the time.

case 0855


I had a terrible cold and lost my sense of smell and taste for about a month. It slowly came back, but I could only taste the first few bites of food and then nothing. Now some of my favorite foods taste and smell really horrible. Coffee, chocolate, peppers, raw onions, peanut butter are some of the most potent. They all have the same smell....unlike any food that I've ever smelled. It's sort of rotten, and a bit on the chemical side, not appetizing at all. The savory foods seem to have been more affected, as I can still taste fruit and sweet things. Wine still tastes good...thankfully!

case 0856


A few months ago I developed a cold and lost my sense of smell. I saw two ear nose throat doctors but I still do not smell anything. I was a person with a beautiful and sensitive smell power, so I get frustrated with this condition many times. Even the strongest of perfumes I cannot smell.

case 0857


It's been now two weeks since I have not been able to smell or taste food or anything else for that matter. I was found unconscious on the floor. Ever since the incident I have not been able to taste or smell anything.

case 0858


I noticed that I can't taste or smell anything. I can smell cigarette smoke only. I cannot taste any kind of foods. I smell charcoal and my food tastes like charcoal.

case 0859


I had a real bad cold half a year ago and ever since then I can hardly smell anything. Now I have noticed my taste has changed. I taste an awful vinegary taste in things.

case 0860


It started when I was 23 years old. Colognes started to smell bad for me and so did alcohol. Every time I smell something that has a strong scent or odor my nose hurts.

case 0861


About the age of 11 I had chicken pox and problems with allergies and since that time I have not been able to smell. However, there were times when I thought I could smell shampoo when sitting next to my daughter after washing her hair, or gas, when I was pumping gas. My sense of taste is okay.

case 0862


About 15 days back I had a cold with cough and other symptoms. I overcame the cold, but a few days later I noticed that I can no longer recognize the various smells and tastes.

case 0863


I got hit on the front of my head. I noticed after a few days that I could no longer smell my "Sniff and Scratch" books! In school our teacher found out my tongue could tell sweet and sour over the entire tongue! Once, as an adult, I smelled something best described as "shit"... We lived near a packing plant with distinct odor. This ability to "smell" only lasted a few hours. I have been unable to smell since!
