Story about Anosmia .

No smell since November 1981

Dec 21, 2015


Hi, in 1981 I fell off my bicycle in Seal Beach, Southern California and smacked the left hand side of my head against a wooden telegraph pole. I was rushed to hospital, had no major injuries and discharged myself the next day. If it had been a concrete or metal pole I doubt I would be here today.

2 days later, I said to my wife at the time that food tasted like cardboard and later realised I'd completely lost my sense of smell.

It happened to my paternal grandmother too when she banged her head - so I guess the olfactory nerve is close to the surface in some of my ancestors.

It doesn't seem to bother me much but maybe it has effects I don't see.

I thought about going to the doctor and pursuing some sort of operation to regain my sense of smell but, as the old jokes goes;

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy !   :-) "

I'm interested in meeting others with the same condition.

Cheers -  Joe

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC their website is(www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
