It just began in May, but I was unaware of it until August. It began with smell of burning, but now everything that has an odor (that I can smell) appears to be a horrible gassy smell. I have lost my sense of taste, too, and have just begun the downhill fall into despair. I burn what I cook, and am beginning to lose my appetite for anything except chocolate! I was looking for a support group for olfactory disorder, just so I can keep from going insane. It's hard to explain what I'm going through, mentally AND physically. I became extremely chemical sensitive after using a strong hair spray 2 years ago, but I also had a horrible viral (upper respiratory) infection in May. Either of these could be the cause. I can't be around chemicals of any kind (perfume, cleaners, etc.) but now I can't smell them, in order to leave the area. If anyone understands or knows a support site, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Cathy I also have phantosmia. It just began in May, but I was unaware of it until August.
