Will I Ever Get My Sense of Smell Back?

[@goldmouth100]

Hello everyone...I have a bottle of Peppermint Oil that I used for my hair... it's from the NOW brand on Amazon..I started sniffing it..I took Big Sniffs for like 30 -40 seconds at a time before work and before bed... It helped me to start smelling again... and I only used peppermint oil that's it..I had my smell back in about a week.. thank Goodness because it was horrible without smell....I thought it was crazy at first.. but I tried it and it really worked for me..I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE..I FEEL YOUR PAIN..I didn't realize how important the sense of smell was until I lost it. I was a bit depressed without it 😢

[@iXtrafe]

i have lived without the sense of smell for 3 years and its only sometimes when all of my friends smell something bad, that i feel like its a bit annoying not to be able to smell anything. But normally, i dont think about it at all tbh.

[@m.j.333]

Thank you! I just ordered some. I think my loss of smell has negatively impacted my weight. I think not being able to smell effects taste which means you could potentially eat more because the enjoyment is not there.

My smell has been gone for over a year now. Its horrible. You dont notice how many times people say, "hey smell how good this is!" I cant smell fresh cut grass, my favorite smell. And now I've experienced some things taste horrible, which only happened recently, about 2 months ago. Such as peanut butter, coffee, chocolate, certain oils, citrus, and mint. I have also experienced some air fresheners I can smell, some smell good some terible. Any floor cleaner smells so bad. Also some things I can smell for a split second, but then it goes away. I want my smell back man!!!

I got covid in January and the only symptoms I got were lost of smell and taste. It is now almost December and I still can't smell or taste. I pretty much accepted I lost it for good at this point. Only positive I got from it is I lost a ton of weight and am now the healthiest I've ever been. Since I can't taste shit I decided I might as well eat healthy stuff I normally hated since I can't taste it anyway and eating tasty fast food was pointless.

sorry to hear that hope you get it back soon i don’t know if you’ve tried it but frying an orange or lemon(orange probably works better) to where it’s blackened(burnt) a little bit and adding brown sugar to it after it’s done cooking and eating it while it’s semi hot warm kinda helps, it’s really strange but it worked for me for about 5 minutes then kinda went back to no smell/taste but a few days later i got my smell and taste back i’d say it’s at 60% right now but i’m grateful i can smell and taste somewhat again. my dad got it around christmas eve christmas and my mom and sister and I then got it. I Still have a slight cough with nasty thick mucas coming up but it’s weird it feels good to cough it up and get it out but also gross. My little sister has had little to no effects besides loss of taste and smell and my mom she’s had it the hardest seems like she has a low immune system due to past cancer she’s been in remission for like over 10 years i think. But she’s had a fever for like 18 days i’m worried for her she just now got antibiotics like 2 days ago but she’s weak she said and fever and some mucas but her lungs are clear doctors said. She’s just been resting in the house but I just hope she’ll be alright. I can’t wait for all of these variants to go away or be less common and we can all get back to living without fear. I wouldn’t wish the virus on anybody. It’s terrible even if it is like just a normal cold because the effects linger like i’ve had this cough and mucas for at least 3 weeks each day gets better but damn no sickness has made me sick this long.

The loss of one or two of our senses as a result of this Virus really deserves much more publicity. If Covid took other senses such as sight or hearing, people would be rioting in the streets! The loss of smell & taste is only part of it, the effect on mental health is massive too. I’ve been wondering if the vaccines made a difference, as in does it return faster in the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated? I wish all who have had this happen to us a speedy recovery 😔

[@TehLiquid]

No, the vaccine shouldn't increase recovery time of anosmia/parosmia. Correct vitamins and minerals in your diet is what seperates people. I'm not vaccinated personally and caught and got over covid in 2-3 days, on day 4-5 I lost my sense of smell and taste entirely, on day 6 my taste returned but I developed parosmia, normal foods now smelled rancid and foul. Zinc, Vitamin A, B12 and a B complex on day 10 now and my sense of smell is already back 80% of what it was. Whereas people complain about it sticking around with them for close to a year, it's very very likely they're not getting vital vitamins/minerals in their diet, thus taking considerably longer for their body to heal.

[@Catherine-111]

@@TehLiquid I had read this too prior to catching covid, I’ve been taking vitamins continuously since surgery a year ago to regain my health, thankfully I think I’m at about 30% smell & taste, oranges were the first thing I could taste so I’ve been upping my intake of them too.

I understand everything you have just expressed. I have lost my smell for 2 1/2 years so far (started in july 2020). the ENT doctor said that I have phantosmia, where I sometimes smell things that are not really there. I can smell some real things, but very faintly . The doctor said that if we can still smell the baseline of somethings even though it is distorted, we are likely to get it back. However, The doctor said that the virus is too new to understand if the smell will ever come back and/or proper interventions to get it back.

It's been over a year now since I had covid and I still haven't fully regained my smell and taste and it is the most depressing thing I've ever had happen to me!! I get massive panic attacks just thinking about the fact that I'll never be able to smell again like I used to, I had the nose of a bloodhound before this disgusting virus and now most of what I smell is mixed with that "covid smell" as I call it and I can no longer smell my cosmetics, perfumes, the smell of summer or anything else and it can take you to some dark fucking places! My taste isn't as bad, I can still taste a lot but some foods don't taste the same as they did before and food products I used to enjoy I don't anymore. I am so desperate but I honestly don't think there's anything that can be done here so I just hope and pray every day that I'll get it back, but with every passing week and month I loose more and more hope as I see no improvement in sight 😢 I feel so angry being in the few % of people who haven't gotten it back months later and I definitely often wallow in my sorrows thinking "why me!!". Even though there are people out there who have it way worse in life then me and all that, having any of your senses taken away like this is a massive hit on your whole life and with no hope in sight because this is such an unknown disease makes it even worse!

This vile smell sometimes comes to me when there is nothing around me giving off odor"s (confirmed by my wife,children and friends). I would guess that these smells are hallucination odors? I can tell if something is salty, sour, sweet etc.etc. But nothing tastes good or smells right. It is all that same "Smell from Hell!" The whole thing just makes me plain angry and impossible to be around! I only thank God for not suffering from depression! I truly feel for those who do because this could definitely harm you mentally! My message to all the professionals out there DON'T tell us that this is permanent even if it is!!! Let us have hope! Cause if this is forever, I think I found "Living Hell" .

Lost my sense of smell and taste-can't smell or taste a thing. It has been 3 days of zero sense of smell and today I ate pineapples to help inflammation and hours later I could smell my lunch but had to be really up close. So there is a glimpse of hope even though the smell was very faint. What I have been doing was smelling anything in the house for the past couple of days. I also drank warm liquids to help loosen decongestion and finally I applied coconut oil in my nostrils 3 times a day. Pineapples were key as well.

Going through COVID for the second time. First time it happened was exactly a year ago. I lost my sense of taste and smell for at least about 2 weeks until it slowly returned after sniffing these essential oils you recommended. I saved all those oils, and after having COVID for the past week and a half, I just noticed about an hour ago after eating some chips and salsa that the sense of taste and smell has become limited. I reached for those oils again and have already started sniffing them periodically, hoping that maybe I can nip it in the bud early. My nose has been running for over a week now. However, after the nose stopped running this evening, the sense of taste and smell dissipated. I had no problems smelling or tasting food when my nose was running. Now it stopped running, but the taste and smell is starting to go. God help me.

What about when everything smells like burnt blood and sewage? Coffee and meat smell/taste awful an so do eggs. It has gotten a little better but still have a ways to go. Also I have realized when I eat a lot of sugar, then my smell gets worse and meat and eggs smell worse again. Gasoline smells funky too.

I am a perfumer, lost taste and smell for 2 weeks in July. My smell is still off and it's hard for me to work as you can imagine, my sense of smell was so acute before covid. I use coffee beans and just keep smelling different aromas in between. Some faint ingredients that i could always smell I can't even detect. Patchouli used to be my favorite scent, now it smells like burnt tar. I hope this gets better!

Its been over 10 months now with distorted smell and taste. The smell I do have like when coffee is brewed is some strange vile odor from I would assume Hell smells like! This vile smell sometimes comes to me when there is nothing around me giving off odor"s (confirmed by my wife,children and friends). I would guess that these smells are hallucination odors? I can tell if something is salty, sour, sweet etc.etc. But nothing tastes good or smells right. It is all that same "Smell from Hell!" The whole thing just makes me plain angry and impossible to be around! I only thank God for not suffering from depression! I truly feel for those who do because this could definitely harm you mentally! My message to all the professionals out there DON'T tell us that this is permanent even if it is!!! Let us have hope! Cause if this is forever, I think I found "Living Hell" .

Do I remember how many days it took for your smell to come back Im on my 20 day without no smell I hope it comes back soon but I can smell hint of things but it fades away

[@starbabymady]

How long did it took to come back ?

[@dstang43]

I lost mine I’m on day 10 now seems to be about 85-90% during the day at night it tends to fade off. I think the reason why it takes some people longer then others and none at all is because the virus itself attacks the nerves it doesn’t actully attack the olfactory orb it attacks the nerves that transmit smell and taste to the olfactory orb unfortunately no one can really predict how fast your body remakes those nerves sense training helps because it stimulates the nerves and brain at the same time

It's been one whole year this Friday since I lost my sense of smell due to covid. I can smell things a little, it's changed the way things smell. I don't enjoy my husbands cologne or my own perfume. I miss the smell of the sea on a walk or just fresh air in general. It's changed my life forever and I'm trying so hard to get it back. In terms of taste, there's more stuff I don't like now than ever before and lot of things just taste mundane. I just want to get better.

I got Covid in the summer of 2020 and lost my sense of smell and taste for what seemed like a longer time than most. Now, three years later, I have my sense of smell and taste back, but some things are altered. They probably will be altered forever. Yogurt, sour cream, butter and soft cheese are the worst. Wine tastes horrible. Some unpleasant smells like body odor, sweat and flatulence (sulfur) smell much different. It’s just strange, but it’s my new way of life. What can you do… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have been dealing with loss of smell since 1991. I had a flu ignored it whent on holiday. By the time i returned i had a resistant upper rispitory illness. It has never returned. Loosing a sence of smell after a flu is not new. Recently 2023 had a sever allergic rhinitis, again i lost my sense of smell. The barrier between the top of the nasal cavity and brain might get damaged by the cov test stick that got stuck up the nose. Could it have gone to far?
