I would like to thank you so much for sharing this video, Hannah. I have been suffering with Parosmia for well over 7-8 months, and I have lost 30lbs due to this issue. I had gotten covid around June of 2021, and just a few weeks after my recovery I lost my sense of taste and smell. One or two weeks later I regain my sense of taste and smell, I thought I was fully recovered; which I technically was. Then, just three weeks before school started the first semester, I was eating some fries and it tasted a little off and I was thinking to myself “Maybe the fries were overcooked?” Then I take a bite out of a hamburger, and it also tasted quite strange. I wake up the next morning to find out everything smells awful, along with my sense of taste. At first thought, I freaked out since I had no clue what was going on, I didn’t even bother to tell my parents about this until one week after developing this issue. We went to see multiple different doctors and they couldn’t detect what was causing me to have this distorted taste and smell problem. The first day of school, I couldn’t even last like an hour in the building as everything smelt like dead bodies even when I have a mask on, and the only hope I had was plugging up my nose. To add onto this, the stench was so bad to the point where I had received severe headaches and it made me want to vomit. This affected my schooling so much to the point where I was failing so many classes. Unfortunately there was no online schooling option within the district, so face to face learning was my only obligation. Do note, parosmia just kept on getting worse and worse as weeks went by; It limited more food items that I could actually enjoy to the point of December where I could only eat Salads and Ice Cream. By the end of January, my school councilor and the assistant principal wanted to make a meeting regarding my schooling and circular activities wondering why I was absent from school so much. My parents were threatened a court case due to my absences as they had no care in the world about my Parosmia problem. We then thought about doing homeschooling to break out of the school system while grasping the same education requirements. By this point, I couldn’t eat Salads anymore as that upset my stomach, only then I tried out mac&cheese which tastes perfectly fine (It all depends on the brand you buy though.) I’ve been trying to do so much research regarding Parosmia and I’m so glad I found this video because I believe there is still hope, I would do ANYTHING in the world to regain my normal senses of taste and smell back.

@@nikirivera08 Its been an entire year for me now, and I’m still dealing with this unfortunately. However, I did regain some of my senses back. Just yesterday, I fumbled upon a page regarding this issue and how she had been suffering for so long desperately looking for potential cures due to the lack of research coming from a large majority of doctors and scientists. Apparently there are these drops called “Liquid Gold” or something of that sort (Also known as Curcumin) and the only reason I had been digging some research about this is because I heard it had been helping a lot of people recover from Parosmia (Approximately 80% of their senses coming back.) and since Parosmia tends to be a neurological attribute, I bet a bit of Curcumin could help with the inflammatory issues going on in our brain. Knowing that our bodies can’t absorb curcumin in its native state all too well, I learned that Liquid Gold helps us absorb it by 277 times more. Just for safety measures before recommending anyone else, I’ll try it out myself and get back to you if it actually works because I know how much everyone is wanting to recover from this.

I was so emotional the whole time already knowing you didn't see improvement. I was so hopeful for you and for all of us suffering. Thank you for continuing to show up for this community, you are such a light 💛💛💛 Amber

Thank you so much for making this video and inviting everyone on your journey and being such and encouragement to so many. I have had parosmia for almost 17 months now. It has been very hard in the mind, on the heart and definitely on your digestive system, especially when you can only eat very few things like bread, crackers, cereal/ oatmeal, or other bland things.

A homeopathic remedy called Sepia 30c (by Boiron) has helped others recently, as well. My body did not respond to either, but that doesn't mean they won't help other people. My heart is broken for this community of people who are suffering from Parosmia, bc I know how disgusting, exhausting and isolating it is - especially as a pregnant and postpartum mother. If what I share can lead even one person towards the solution that will work for them, it will all be worth it. :)

Oh man thank you for this video. So interesting. I am 3 months in. I feel like there are a lot of young women like us who are experiencing this as well… i had bad postpartum anxiety 2.5 years ago as well as just having a 2 year old, 10 month old and being pregnant again. I wonder if that past stress has been weighing on my nervous system. Man Having this during my morning sickness time was the worst experience of my life! So glad the morning sickness has subsided and now it’s just the parosmia. Currently sitting in the couch with a nose plug because I pushed through and made chili for my family and it smells terrible. But actually, around 3 weeks ago, after I was able to see my 3rd baby on the ultrasound for the first time, I had around like 4 hours of everything tasting and smelling 90% normal. I thought I was healed! But then that night all the bad smells came back and have been back since. That gave me so much hope though. How weird this is so tied to stress and our nervous system. So glad I found your channel. All the best to you

Hey Julia! So glad to have you here and so sorry for all you've been through. The way parosmia is affecting young women and mothers is just devastating, and hardly anyone is advocating for us. Mine started when I was pregnant for the first time in March 2021. I definitely think that people with compromised immune systems and in high stress situations are at a disadvantage with their healing. I'm pursing counseling and EMDR therapy to learn skills to better process stress to see if that helps with my healing at all. There are so many other potential ways of doing this, but I'm just taking them one at a time. Please keep me updated with your experience. I hope you see improvement so, so soon. :)

Thank you so much for sharing, Hannah. Did David say or share any thoughts on if there was any correlation between your anatomy and how long it is taking you to heal?

Thank you for showing this process. I live in England and unfortunately this procedure is only done privately so the cost is exorbitant and no guarantee to help my parosmia. I just wish my constant smell of mildew, even stronger with chocolate, coffee and perfumes, would go. Ì feel physically sick every minute of every day. Im 9 months in after a flu, a year after covid (which my ENT said laid the groundwork for my flu to destroy my smell and taste) and i am so depressed and despair. I'm so glad i found your channel because this is a lonely existence and, for some reason, not one that gets much sympathy from my colleagues, friends and family- just mild curiosity. They really don't get how limited yiur life becomes when it loses one of your senses- especially one so heavily linked to memory and mental well-being. What i wouldn't give to smell a pine tree or a rose or my dog😢

We all here for you together don’t worry. I’m doing my research too and bought a binder for detoxing the toxic metals in the body and there’s a chance the nerves system got disrupted by the toxins we have so I’m starting the supplement soon and I’ll update you with the results and of course I’m taking my electrolytes to support my immune system to recover.

I am only 3 months in, but considering the SGB. There are places here in AZ that offer it. I can’t imagine doing this for over a year.. I had C* in sept 2021, lost taste and smell completely, and regained it to about 70% by November. Then just before thanksgiving i donated a kidney, so went through a major surgery. Then, one month later in late December the parosmia and dysgeusia hit me. It’s been rough trying to heal from surgery and deal with this. Very stressful. I am apprehensive to spend the money on this and it not work, and add to the stress! Since I’m only 3 months in i thought maybe i should just wait it out, but still on the fence of what to do.

It’s been 10 months. I have tried many things to get my smell and taste back. I don’t know if I would say it’s better. Maybe just evolving. I did a 15 day water only fast which didn’t make any difference. I had blood work done after Covid that showed that my Glutathione and CoQ10 had tanked so I supplement with those. I am now trying 1 drop of vitamin A in each nostril daily. It’s only been three days. I will give it a couple of weeks. I also tried Benadryl nightly for 14 days with no improvement. I think the longer it goes on my coping skills have gotten better. I am getting better at ignoring a lot of the smells. I used to let them overwhelm me. There is still one smell that I call the “death” smell that’s a little harder to ignore. Praying for answers for all of us who are living the smell and taste nightmare. Thank you Hannah.

Hi Hannah, I've just found your channel. I'm currently pregnant, which Gestational diabetes, and I've had UNDIAGNOSED parosmia for 2 months. I am restricted to super low carb diet due to GE and yet I can't eat any meats, garlic, onion, corn, corn chips, corn tortillas. I used to love Mexican dishes, I can't eat any of that, fix any of that. I was initially optimistic, but now 2 months in, all the dishes I've forced myself to eat the past 2 months have gotten old. And I'm afraid to try out new stuff. I'll be doing a deep dive into your channel to try and get some new ideas. So, a big thank you for recording these videos. I'll try to find you on IG too.

I'm so sorry. The first round (in this video) actually didn't work for me. (I thought it did a little, but I think I was just trying to be optimistic). I had this SGB a year after my parosmia started, and I hardly progressed. I started caring for my nervous system better and did trauma therapy (EMDR) for 11 months and went back for a second round, and I experienced much more progress. I did another year in therapy, tried the SGB again, and did not progress much. My body was under a serious amount of stress as I had just given birth for the first time, had gone without sleeping through the night for 9 months, and nursed my son for 11 months while starving. I completely understand the frustration. It's been over 3 years since my parosmia started, and I'm in a much better place, but still not fully recovered. It has been the hardest physical journey of my life, and recovery has taken serious work. My encouragement would be to focus on reducing stress wherever possible and doing things in life that bring you joy outside of the senses of taste and smell. It's so, so difficult, but recovering the senses is possible.

Have you tried the supplements NAC, Zinc, Quercetin, Thiamine/B1?

Hannah, During your procedure you mentioned that it felt like the front of your head was opening up. Does your head still feel clear after the procedure. My head always feels congested even though there is no congestion. It always feels like my nose is stuffy and hard to breathe. I also have an issue where it feels like I am not getting enough oxygen at times. I take deep breaths that do not seem to take in oxygen. This is completely separate from the stuffy nose feeling. I would think the procedure would be worth it if I could breathe easily through my nose again.

I think directly after the procedure, there's a rush of blood to the numbed area, and that may have been what I was feeling at the time. It's springtime in Texas, and my seasonal allergies have been affecting me for a few weeks, so it's been hard to tell if any of that has been long lasting. We're all responding to the block differently, so I hope it relieves you of some of that! :)

Did you have an epidural with your birth? Just curious because I had a nerve block right before wrist surgery and after surgery is when my parosmia started. I have a sense of smell and a sense of taste, but most things smell and taste like literal garbage or sewer. It has been very difficult, even though it is only been a couple of months for me so far. This video and others I have watched got me wondering whether or not my nerve block and surgery had anything to do with it or if it is all just from covid, which I'm not sure I even had before my surgery. Looking forward to hearing your response. God bless you and hope you are doing better.

I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity caused by mold and a chemical hit. I've been suffering for almost 4 years now. Very extremely heightened smell and parosmia and even taste chemicals. My doctor suggested I try the SGB block for all the PTSD and anxiety this has caused me. I developed Mast Cell Activation as well. So many symptoms and have been in fight in flight which dysregulated my nervous system. It's the brain trying to protect me. Im thinking I need to try this so I can get a reset and get my life back possibly. Did you ever get the shot again and did it help if you did?

What is the safe chocolate?? Parosmia for 14 months now.

There are Many conections between nerves in the cervical región but not really to the olfatory Tracks, until now doctors ALL over the world in cases like you just have to wait and do reeducation of smell with i have to say poor results after 6 months of parosmia or anosmia. too bad some people play with expectations , i believe is hard to find doctors who does this procedure for this purpose , it is sad to see that some Other profesionals play with the expectactions of people and make money with that. I really hope you are doing better as your Newborn child also .

I am on this same page. I've also had 3 surgeries. I was very sick and lost my nose when I got pregnant. Ask your doctor to check your thyroid antibodies. I truly believe that I was fighting thyroid issues when I was pregnant and because of the hashimotos it attacked really good tissue - which was my nose! I am looking into this same procedure but I'm almost positive you could have hashimotos- that affected your nose! Antibody testing!

Hi Hannah, sorry your bilateral SGB didn't work out in Texas. Any improvement in taste/smell since then, a year ago? Was your euphoric response to tasting chocolate in this video real, or just a temporary placebo effect? I lost all sense of smell and taste during severe Covid xmas 2020.. 2.5 years now. Peppermint taste returned after about a year, and the taste of burned fat in the grill pan some months later. But the important tastes like meat and chocolate never did. This week I tried a chiro trick with getting the back of your head tapped/flicked while touching your tongue or nose, other hand on the heart. Seemed to work for citrus smell and taste of chocolate (yay!) After such a long loss of taste it's really worrying whether I'll remember how things tasted. Had that experience with ginger. Hot spicy food: just get the burn, no taste.. 😢 If you don't have full taste/smell back I think they will return anyway, just really slowly. All the best, Jon.

Hey Jon, it didn't work the first time, but if you check out my updates over on my Instagram you'll see that I had more SGB's at the end of this January and I experienced much more improvement after almost a year of EMDR. I am getting two more injections next Friday, and I am very hopeful they're going to get me all the way back to 100%. David gave me a piece of Dove milk chocolate in this video, and it turns out that it is much more friendly to most people with parosmia than a lot of other chocolates. I didn't know that at the time, and I was simply excited to taste some chocolate that didn't give off the scent and flavor of burnt hair. I am very honest, and I would never lie about my experiences. It just so happened that that was the only type of chocolate that worked for my senses at the time. I also got Covid Christmas 2020. Lost my senses for 2 months. Had a baby 2 months after that, and have been living in parosmia hell since March 2021. So grateful to report that EMDR and SGB's have been my ticket out after realizing that what has been weighing down my mind and altering my perception all this time has been PTSD and unprocessed trauma.

7months I have had parosmia and I can't cope anymore it's so hard it's so uncomfortable and my anxiety is threw the rough all the time with can't help, anytime I felt anxious pre porosmia I would use a method of see touch feel smell to ground me which is no-one possible sending me into panic mode it's just not fare

Hi. I also have parosmia post COVID. It’s been about 8 months. I too have been under a tonne of stress the last few years. Maybe that has contributed to this. I just don’t know. I can taste and smell things, but the tastes and smells are almost entirely incorrect. Like I know what Coffee is supposed to smell like. And I know what bathrooms are supposed to smell like. For me, these two smells are exactly the same. And their neither coffee or a bathroom smells, but instead something entirely different and strange, more like dust and dirt and spice. It is really frustrating and so what I choose to do it's pretty much just ignore it. I find it so much more difficult to spend time thinking about this. I really hope the best for everybody out their suffering with this. Hopefully overtime research will yield help.❤

My case with this is strange. before ever getting covid, I had parosmia for 4 months. Everything had the same taste mould, wet dirt, dust, it was like everything was out for 60 years. Of course, now I do have covid and instead of being treated to the delight of tasting nothing, now everything tastes even worse, like germ-x, and garbage. Even water. I hope this is something viable.

You should try the sgb injection on the left side of the neck, for some people the right side does nothing and only the left side works.

I had 3 on the right and 1 on the left on this day. I’ve since had two more rounds of SGB’s that were far more successful for my senses and nervous system. The next round, I did 2 injections on the right and got more of my senses back. The next round, I had 2 on my right and 2 on my left and experienced a ton of emotional release. I’ve learned since January that the reason my parosmia has been so severe and my healing process has taken so long is because I have had PTSD since childhood. I needed healing from so much more than Covid and had no idea. I’m getting more injections next month and hope to make a video by the end of the year recapping what I’ve experienced with my mental and physical health since discovering all this back in January/February.

I’ve been battling taste issues off and on the last 3 years. I tested negative twice for covid and had a negative antibodies test. Over the last 4 months my taste has gotten to a point of totally gone. My smell has always been subpar but I never had a problem tasting food until now. Can anyone give advice? Should I just go get this injection? Thank you

Hey John, check out my "healing" "mental health" and "SGB" highlights on Instagram to see the more recent connections I've drawn in my healing journey: instagram.com/hannah.gamble.higgins/

Had covid back in 2020, only lost my taste buds, smell buds are perfectly fine, had my sgb injection appt last week, took 1 in each side of my neck, 0% progress

Did it start out with certain foods and get worse from there? Meat and eggs taste horrible, except one type of organic deli ham. It doesn't smell as bad as it tastes for me. Im not even sure how to describe the taste/smell, it's awful!

It started slowly for me. First with meats, and slowly with more and more foods, drinks, household products and environmental odors.

@@charlottebirgittethomsen4273 Don't give up. I know it's so hard, but it will eventually get better and more manageable. We eliminate everything from our home that sets me off, including all onion and garlic ingredients. I wear a nose plugged (linked in my amazon list) when I eat lunch/dinner and any time I need to be able to escape the nasty smell. Making changes around our home has helped a lot, but there are still times (sitting outside, for instance) where I can smell triggers. It's very difficult to get used to.

How are u feelings now

Do nasal sprays have any efffect? Can you taste mouth wash?

They didn't for me. I made a lot of lifestyle changes to help regulate my nervous system, did almost two years of trauma therapy (EMDR), and had three rounds of SGB's to get to where I'm at now.

Mint tasted really bad for me at first, but I can now use toothpastes and mouthwashes just fine.

EMDR, stellate ganglion blocks and every possible lifestyle change to take stress off my nervous system

You should try kundalini yoga it’s all about resetting your nervous system, there are great beginner sessions out there!

thanks for the suggestion! I'll look it up :)

Please, to anyone reading, don’t ever agree to a bilateral stellate ganglion block I am a board-certified pain physician with 14 years of experience who has treated tens of thousands of patients. It is extraordinarily unsafe to ever do this procedure bilaterally. If it is necessary to do both the left and the right side, do them on separate visits

Hey Matt, thank you for your insight. It's so interesting to me how many varying opinions there are about this. The CRNA I saw has also done this tens of thousands of times and also has military experience, so I don't understand why he and some of his colleagues feel comfortable with it and others do not. I'm extremely risk-averse and would never do anything I thought was unsafe or encourage anyone else to put themselves in harm's way. I'm sorry if my video comes across that way.

You can SEE the SGB was done on separate visits as the Horner syndrome from the previous SGB had worn off each time. As Hannah says, this guy has done thousands and is aware of the dangers. I'm more worried about them hitting the carotid and causing a stroke..

there's alot of women suffering out there , like if men have parosmia they can just choke , or what . being more manly or muscular is the only diference , that doesnt mean we can handle parosmia easier or we just say fk this and eat everything even if it smells like shit

my heart is broken for everyone who has this condition. but women - specifically pregnant, birthing, postpartum and nursing women - are experiencing depletion and malnutrition at a particularly crucial time. feeding another human with your own body while you're starving is especially awful. that's all I meant by that.

I has distorted smell and taste for about 6months ,but herbal medicine from Dr ogbebor herbal centre on KZread cured me

Thank you for sharing. I lost my smell/taste 3 years ago. I just met a lady who lost it 2 years ago and she said echinacea herb helped her regain her smell/taste. I guess it contains active substances that boost immune functions, reduce inflamation and have hormonal, antiviral effects. I've been taking 400mg echinacea sumplements every day/also drinking echinacea tea for the past 2 weeks now and I can taste certain things. Hope this helps you and others.
