it's been 3 years and half for me i think i will never get better I'm really depressed

My people !

Living with it for 3 years right now. Last night i woke up with so huge bad smell coming into my nose (its the same smell if feel in most of places i visit). Already put in my mind my life will be this way until i die. If you understand and see its not that bad. Luckly i can taste food well

There's no uniformity or agreement on how to use these. Even with sprays. Just saw a doc who said the spray won't be effective at all on the nasal wall. It's frustrating

LOVE THIS!

Do the smell kits from amazon with the little white tubes that look like little missles work as well as jars?

👏👏

You covid people need more vaccines

Thank you i keep coming back every winter 😂 usefull.

It’s been 3 1/2 years, and my taste is probably back about 50%. Things never taste normal or delicious, but I can recognize most foods. Some are still really disgusting, like raw onion, chocolate, strawberries, peanuts, etc. I have smell trained three times a day for the past 3.5 years, and it hasn’t been particularly effective. I feel like giving up most days.. Hoping others experience with parosmia is not as lengthy as mine. Hate that it exists in this world.

3.5 yrs and nothing. My nose is dead. This is permanent. We need to sue the CDC for this

That's too much work and a bit silly really. Is there no drug available to help with this? I can't eat my favourite foods anymore, even coffee!!!! FML

I'm now 18 months into my parosmia. many things have improved or even returned to their normal smell or taste in the last 6 months or so (including cooked tomatoes, some types of onions, garlic, coffee, and chicken. lemons have improved but still don't taste good enough to eat, and I used to love them) garlic and coffee returned to normal within a week of each other, and I've had so much coffee since then it's probably unhealthy, but I missed it so much. honestly this has been one of the hardest things I've ever gone through simply because it's lasted so long, a true test of endurance. but I'm starting to feel a little bit better about it. Hopefully another six months and it'll be gone completely.

I lost sense of smell after flu COVID reviews trio two days ago. Hopefully it is short lived.

To everyone there, keep hope! I ve fully recovered from it after two years.

Guess I just came here to see if anyone else had it after this long........

I'm over 2 years in and I MISS FOOD SOOOOO BAD!!!

I didn’t lose my taste but after almost 3 years I’m still get my smell back

Normal people have no clue about what a total tragedy it is to lose taste or smell or both. It just takes the life right out of life.

Palo Santo

An ashtray....same for me, sometimes also like a wet diaper pail. SO many things are sickening to me now....hope it goes away soon!

I have had it twice before. It gradually goes away. Suffering my Third ever in 40 years. Recently got better from a severe viral infection

I wanted to add that it seems to get worse at night. Food tastes like nothing.

Thank you for all you do, I started scent training 1 week ago for parosmia and it has already started improving

There is not a waking moment that I'm not screaming and crying the constant smell and taste of chemicals is going to be the death of me, someone help

I am on my 4th day everything smells/ tastes like chemicals i am so scared for the future

what will happen if i accidentally swallow it? I am currently sick and i just swallowed 2 drops.Please help

O.K. What about me? My husband and I had COVID March 2020. My husband died, at home. Whilst I sailed through it whilst caring for him. But I lost my sense of smell and taste. I immediately sent for the pack of jars with essential oils, for sniffing training. Did it for 4 months without anything and gave up. I once got a first whiff of crushed mint plant but only the once. I have more or less accepted it but would be interested to know what the chances are for me after 3 years now.

After I got COVID in December 2021, all smells were replaced with what I called a "uni-smell" - EVERYTHING smelled like burnt cooking oil. I'm still dealing with this today. Gradually, some smells (and tastes) are randomly returning but it's extremely frustrating. Also, a nostril will randomly pour nasal fluid like water for a moment. Very, very strange.

I'm going on year 2!!!! This crap sucks!!!!

I'm on year 2 of this horrible Parosmia crap!!!!!!

I have been using the oils for a long time. I have days that I smell and taste everything and then days that I can't smell anything. Is this normal? I faithfully use the oils every morning. Also, when I can't smell, I can't get the full taste of what I am eating. I never had Covid, I do have sinusitis. Anything else you can tell me to do, I would appreciate. Thank you

Manuka honey put up the nostrils and definitely include the very tip of the nostrils as in the tip of the nose but inside the nose, will heal the nose. I have suffered for 5 years with smelling smoke all the time, and musty smells that no one but me can smell. It’s horrible! I tried moisturising the nostrils with moisturiser and using menthol just outside the nostrils ( don’t put that up the nose) and using antibiotic cream from the GP, plus salt water sprays and neti bottle procedures to no avail. But in desperation l am now using Manuka honey, just slightly watered down with previously boiled water cooled. Initially my nose bled but it’s lessening the smell of smoke by 80% and l am hoping it will cure the condition. I think now that the condition is triggered by an infection of the nostril tissue which is difficult to cure. I think the fact that the Manuka honey is lessening the severity of the condition, that must point to an infection of the nostrils.

I lose mine taste and smell on February 7 still haven’t got back make me depressed really bad

Looks and sounds like he is unsure

"Triple vaxed" ..... man that's not good for your health

si es horrible, yo tengo dos años sufriendo esta maldicion. espero consigan la cura pronto

Allahamdulilah recovered from parosmia after 2 years . There is always hope . Sadly no treatment for this . Just wait and it will be ok by itself it will heal up its just very slow progress

The doctor told me that no one can guarantee that I will ever fully recover. It's been 6 months and there has been some improvement, but I'm still suffering.

Lost my smell now a year since I had covid once. I guess I have parosmia and anosmia. It fluctuates greatly. Sometimes I can suddenly smell things that I haven’t smelled for a long time but only to loose it again. Taste is also altered. All numbed up, can’t eat garlic or chicken anymore because it tastes like plastic. When I had covid November 2021 I had a terrible headache on the top of my nose and inside my forehead. I never have headaches. But this headache follows me on and off every day a little since then. I can’t smell coffee and my cooking. Appetite is poor but I still make sure I eat enough. I haven’t visited an ENT just because I live abroad now and just worried to face that they can’t help me. I am doing smell training but all the essential oils don’t smell like anything. So I am not really motivated but I will try to stay on the ball because my smell impairment is really bothersome now. Yes, I also have a smell that I smell all day, such as vinegar. I once in despair did a steam bath for my sinus (no sinus issue but was hoping it could help with the smell issue) with apple cider and warm water mix since then I carry the vinegar smell with me.

I just fucking swallowed it

I used Doctor Kioya Herbs and it Cured me, now I can smell and taste well, all thanks to Doctor Kioya On KZbin..

I used Doctor Kioya Herbs and it Cured me, now I can smell and taste well, all thanks to Doctor Kioya On KZbin.. Am so happy now.. 🤗😊💕

I’ll take my lack of taste/smell over this. Hope you’re back to normal, soon! ❤️🍀

Um

I lost my sense but not due yo COVID, but because I feel and I knocked my head. It's been almost two years and I dont know to do 😭😭😭

el entrenamiento no sirve, NO SIRVE

I was also told about the one year mark and my doctor said I wouldn’t get it back. It’s quite depressing.

I was told by my doctor that my smell and taste would probably not come back. It’s been 1year and 4 months. She might be right.

I got the Delta variant on Aug. 21,2021. I still have no sense of smell or taste. What I do taste is rotten, especially eggs , coffee and meat. The only thing that I can taste slightly is coconut.
