Will I Ever Get My Sense of Smell Back?

If you lost your sense of smell after Covid, you know how frustrating it can be. Research is showing that most people recover their sense of smell within 6 weeks, but about 20% of people still have no sense of smell 6 weeks after initial infection.
Research from the video:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...
www.sciencedirect.com/science...
www.bbc.com/news/health-57833394
Based on the most commonly cited study by Dr. Thomas Hummel, olfactory training uses four unique scents designed to cover different fragrance categories using:
Lemon for fruity smells: amzn.to/34DU9bH
Rose for a flower fragrances: amzn.to/3mKPCuc
Cloves for spicy or bitter smells: amzn.to/3nYwD05
And Eucalyptus for ethereal odors or resinous smells similar to fresh cleaning solutions: amzn.to/3hkuREL
How to Perform Smell Training:
Step 1: Find at least 4 familiar fragrances such as Lemon, Rose, Cloves, and Eucalyptus (see above). Place 5-6 drops of oil on a piece of absorbent paper like watercolor paper and place into an amber glass jar: amzn.to/2M3Q2zq
Step 2: Twice a day, smell each container for about 10 to 15 seconds, taking just take a couple small sniffs of the fragrance. Try to keep the smell at the top of your nasal cavity instead of taking a giant whiff of the jar.
Step 3: Track Your Progress
Keep track of your progress each day by rating how strong you find each smell with each attempt.

    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 😢

    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 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.

    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 😔

    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.

Everything smells exactly the same to the Exception of a very potent rose bush I have in my yard. Otherwise everything smells like it’s spoiled. As far as taste goes I can tell if something is spicy but dairy products, eggs and meat all taste rotten to me. Some fruits are ok but I can only taste a faint flavor. It’s been rough and I honestly don’t know what else to do.

    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.

    I had sinus cancer about 15 years ago. Treatment was radiation therapy and chemotherapy. I lost my sense of smell. They said it would gradually come back (it didn't). Taste is diminished, but not gone. I had a strong whiff of something floral recently (source unknown and not apparent). Taste is weak and smell is gone. I'm 78. My hopes are not high, but I would work to get some smell back. I am far less reluctant to clean the cat pan now! (I will work on your therapy since a little smell would be nice.

    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!

If I stop and let some time pass, I can take another couple of sips and enjoy the flavor. At first all I could smell was an odd burning wood smell. Thankfully that has subsided. I catch a wif of a real smell every once in a while but for the most part, I can't smell. Covid left me with lots of integestion and my nose is a bit runny. On another note, it evidently attacked my nervous system because I developed so much anxiety I had to retire early. I have never had anxiety issues before this. I could handle a very stressful career without issue. Hoping life will return to normal soon!

    I am not sure exactly when I lost my sense of smell but it had to be around day 4 or so. I am now at week three and I think I am close to getting it all back, which started only I week ago. I tried the smell training with essential oils I already had, but most were similar to the recommended oils. That was so-so for me, and found foods in my cabinet more helpful. Peanut butter I could actually smell. Then I tried that chiropractic assist, I guess you just need to search KZread, and yes, that worked! It wasn't 100%, but it was a good kickstart. Finally the next day I started taking NAC since it just recently went back on sale. It was within a few hours I felt a big improvement. I wish It had been available 2 weeks earlier when I got sick, it may have made my case a bit easier. Now to get rid of the stupid post nasal drip and throat clearing. Driving me nuts. With that I will be done. I never lost taste.

I have taken Zinc for almost the entire last 15 months. I have been doing smell training for close to a year. This week I added vit a drops. I might be up to 10% of smell at this point.

    My taste and smell has been gone for about 1 Month. I get hints of both once in a while. Garlic is one taste/odor that I can detect (fortunately, I like Garlic!). Sometimes I can detect others, but only fleetingly. I hope it normalizes again, But I am acclimating to this new "state of being". I'm 61, in good health... have had 'THE THING" 2X.

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.

I'm able to taste some things... One day, I can smell a thing and few hours later, I lost it. Sometimes, I lost a lot and then, it comeback few days later... As exemple, 2 days ago, I smell my sweat a little bit, and then nothing... Do you think I'm in the healing process? Can I lost everything again or it's how the healing process works (you find, you lost, until it stay)? * I still can't smell my own odors or the one of others ( sweat, sh''t, as exemple) or the C02 of the cars...

    I had covid in September 2021. I lost my taste and smell fully for about 10 days during the most symptomatic time of the virus. Most of it came back, my sense of smell was less...I used to be able to tell when someone was making a pb&j from the other room as the peanut butter smell would waft around. But now I have to put my nose INTO the jar to smell it. And now soap smells awful, my dawn dish detergent is really odd smelling, like a pungent rotting thing. And just in the last few weeks I noticed all fruit smells and tastes very bitter, like the high end brightness of the acid. I made a tomato based chili the other day and that's all I could taste, the over all metallic taste of tomatoes. I also have some sinus congestion along with this, not like I can't breathe through my nose, but the pressure and swelling of my sinus cavity. (this could also be because its winter and forced air heat is drying, but we run humidifiers) So I'm wondering if there is nerve damage with the whole olfactory system and we need the therapy to restart the process.

I am a compulsive hobbyist vaper, and have discovered delicious organic natural flavours predominantly tobacco extracts and they are more of a wine tasting or cigar tasting style of vaping, and of course every nuance is now absent with the exception of one that has a bit of a fermented flavour.

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!

    I just recovered from a cold. I could smell for a couple of days but after that I can't smell anything anymore. It's been a week now. Food doesn't taste the same, I've stopped using diffuser. It's a bit sad. I want to know why all of a sudden I lost my sense of smell. I've always had allergy but never before has it caused me to lose my sense of smell.

    Hey there is another video, on here that worked for me and many others. You need rosemary and peppermint essential oils dip qtip in rosemary first and rub in each nostril for 10 seconds then dip it in peppermint and do the same. Do it 3 times a day for a couple days i guarantee after the second time doing you will start to regain smell and taste hope this helps

    It's been 17 months now that I've lost both senses. I tried everything (vitamin A/E, zync, laser on nostrils and tongue, burned orange, essential oils, chyropraxy) and could only recover 5% of my senses. I'm wondering if there's still a light at the end of the tunnel?

    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" .

    What I fear is Parkinson's. My aunt had it. They say 90 something % of Parkinson patients lost their sense of smell and taste years prior to getting the disease. I never had Covid and I have had the issue for years, even before Covid. Then all of a sudden, I'd get it back. Right now it has been going on for months. I need to see a doctor about this.

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 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

    5 months and if I smell or taste anything, it smells like a chemical and taste like a chemical too. I had a high sense of smell, I smelled every little thing and now I all I smell is a chemical. It drives me crazy and very irritated. This wk I've noticed I smell things at night, it's my 2nd night now and the smell, like I said, a chemical so I've opened up my sliding door and windows because that's all I smell. I'm trying to look on the bright side that I can smell but that smell of a chemical is very much so gross and irritated as every. I do taste sugar food but turns to a after taste of a chemical

    My smell came back about 2 months out. But I’m 8 months and my taste is still not right. Sometimes I can taste ok, others I can at first and it goes away while eating. Yet other times I can’t really taste. Also sometimes things don’t taste right or how I remember.
