Loss of sense of smell....

[Janetw]

I know some people think this is a blessing in disguise but after a severe bout of Sinusitus and related problems I have been left with very little sense of smell. This has also affected my taste which is more upsetting....
Has any any experience of this or can anyone reccomend an ENT doctor / chineese doctor who might be able to help ???

Yup happened to me a while back, Its usually temporary and slowly comes back but yes definately get it looked at when you can.

Hi Jimbo, how long did it last for you ??Did you try any drugs ?? It has gotten slowly worse over about a year and half. I have only been here for 2 months and I am away from most of my allergens - trees, pollen, cats and wool so that side of things have improved whilst being here despite the pollution.

Mine lasted for about 3 months or so.

Didn't take any drugs for it I just put up with it.

Every time I walk close by one of those corner stalls that sell "stinky tofu" I wish I have your problem!
