It's not too much to worry about but I lost my
sense of taste and smell in August. It can be a sign of brain tumour and it's possible with my history of ovarian ca and the "washings of my peritineum fluid" showed abnormal cells which could land anywhere in the future. I'm going to the ear, nose, and throat dept at the hospital tomorrow to have it investigated. I'm fairly sure it's from a big bad cold I had, but I'd appreciate any purrs and prayers that it is nothing worse. The problem of previously having Ca is that anything can come from it. I was pretty lucky to survive what I had. The docs told me I wouldn't. Tweed |

One good thing happened though as a result: I was able to enjoy a trip to the zoo and not notice the offensive odors. MLB |

There are some in the U.S. which allegedly having side affects such as not being able to taste anything. Be sure to tell them everything you've taken for your cold. Jill Jill |

People normall lose their sense of smell with age, but it wouldn't be a sudden thing. With all the trauma you've had to your body lately plus the fact you've had a cold, I bet it's a temporary thing.

Hope so. I was thinking something along the same lines. I didn't have anything to back that idea up, though, so I didn't say it. But it makes sense to me. Trauma to the body (and you - Tweed - have had a lot of it over the past year) can do some weird things. I didn't realize it was normal to lose some sense of smell as you age. It makes sense - after all, vision usually gets a little worse, as well as hearing, so why not smell? I have a pretty strong sense of smell, so it will probably outlast me. Sometimes that's a nice thing - if I'm someplace that smells good, I have a strong reaction. Unfortunately, I have an equally strong reaction when something smells bad, so I have less tolerance for that than a lot of people. -- Joyce Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives. -- Albert Schweitzer |
