Watercolor paper is also made from fiber??
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
Exactly! I bought a nasal spray about 3 days ago, used it expected results, didn’t work so I went online, I tried all of these doctors each of them saying completely different things, and I used up the whole bottle(had 100 pumps in it) in a day, with no results, no relief, and I was just so annoyed, I was hoping to get some PROPER sleep since I haven’t had one for about 3 days. Now I bought a nasal Drop incase I experience this nightmare again.
The only thing the kind of works were nasal sticks, they don’t relief you of the congestion but rather makes it feel like your breathing from both nostrils I recommend it if your experiencing problem in breathing rather than the congestion.
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
My life become hell
@M0HITACHARYA you'll get used to it. I barely think about it anymore. It was HARD as Hell for the first 2 years, after that my brain adapted to having no smell or taste. I still miss the senses, but it isn't torture anymore. It's like my brain forgot what smelling was like. 😔
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.
how ???
how?
After 2 years, u finally was able to taste and smell things before Covid???
Guess I just came here to see if anyone else had it after this long........
it's been 3 years I'm still struggling....
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
how long did it take you?
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

@@AbScentUK thanks very much i have joined :) great to see i am not alone
@@Faith_63 that's great to hear :)
what will happen if i accidentally swallow it? I am currently sick and i just swallowed 2 drops.Please help
Nothing happens
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.
This sounds like you may have parosmia, which is actually usually a sign of recovery. Have a look here for more information: abscent.org/about-smell-loss/parosmia or watch some more of our videos under our 'parosmia' playlist on this channel.
I'm going on year 2!!!! This crap sucks!!!!
any improvements?
any better?
Hell no, it will be 3 years in April and I quit eating food!!! I survive off chocolate milk only now!!! It has enough calories and protein to help me!!!! Otherwise I would have to get a feeding tube installed!!!!!
same bro , i had parosmia for 4 years and still didn't recover, i am literally suffering everything smells and tastes like sh*t and I am now diagnosed with anaemia due to the lack of eating @@dsc420247
omg i am sorry you have been going through this for 3 years, I just had covid and about the 2nd or 3rd day in I started to notice some things not all had a weird smell like most things had the same kinda ingredient or something. Have you been to the docotors at all or tried any of the methods online like smelling therapy? @@dsc420247
I'm on year 2 of this horrible Parosmia crap!!!!!!
jaja pero espera, lo dices en forma de broma? o hay alguna terapia que incluya algun tipo de acido?
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
Fluctuations in smell are considered normal. Watch our short video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZK1l0bmpl7qblZM.html and taste and smell are very much connected. If you have a few minutes, read our blog here on taste, smell and flavour: abscent.org/insights-blog/blog/smell-taste-flavour Keep up with the daily smell training - have you watched our video shorts on our KZread channel where Chrissi gives tips on how to smell train effectively? They're really worth a watch!
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
We have lots of resources on our website www.abscent.org and in our online Network (which you can join via our website). Smell training is scientifcally endorsed to support recovery. Please do not give up hope.
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
We're sorry to hear this. But we are hearing stories of recovery after more than two years from patients in our community. Are you smell training? It is the only intervention with ample evidence that it hastens recovery.
@@AbScentUK si, lo hice los primeros 6 meses, despues comprendi que eso no me sirvio. es horrible pasar por esto, pierdes dos sentidos a la vez
Me too!!! Year 2 this April!!!!! I want to swallow acid and kill my taste buds!!!
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
There is a host of research available that has shown smell training can support recovery.
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 KZread..

We're really sorry to hear this. This is often classed as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and we have others in our online network who have had the same experience.

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.
We have replied in full to your comment on another webinar. Please do not give up hope - we hear from many people in our Network and Facebook groups who are recovering after two years.
