I just love the smell - most of the time! - of the grandbabies, but sadly about four months ago I realised that I'd lost the sense of smell. Just occasionally I get a brief hint of a smell of the sea, bacon cooking or somesuch but not sure if its real or a memory.
Has anybody else had this and, has your sense of smell returned?

BGrannie1....I too have lost my sense of (some) smells. It started this winter after using a nasal decongestent spray for a terrible cold. I must have over dosed on it, because a few weeks later I realised that I could not smell perfumes or pleasant things. Disaster! I can just about smell bacon or strong cooking smells but absolutely nothing else. I can only hope that it will slowly return. Have you had a cold or anything recently? I believe nasal polyps also take away your sense of smell. Hope you get it back anyway!
Good Luck.
BGrannie1...Whatever you do, don't lose your sense of taste...wine is so lovely at the end of the day. A chilled glass of sauvignon is so welcome after grandchildren have been sent home at 6.0pm.
