    I lost my sense of smell. Anyone else have this happen?

    I had bronchitis and got rid of it w/ antibiotics. Throughout being sick my sinuses were stuffed up. i couldn't smell anything. now my cold is gone and I can breathe through my nose fine, but I still can't smell anything. it's nice not being able to smell rancid shit, but now all my food tastes bland. I've been over my cold for about two weeks now. should I go to the doc about this?

    I've had that happen..mainly when my allergies flare up. Im allergic to everything so it happens more than a lil bit. I would go check it out to be safe.

    Some medicines (like antibiotics and blood pressure pills) can affect your ability to smell and taste. Cigarette smoking, certain chemicals, and a lack of vitamins or minerals (like vitamin B12 and zinc) can also cause problems with taste and smell."

    I had it many years ago when I picked up a very bad virus in Bali. I lost all sense of smell and taste for three months. They tried all kinds of shit, it eventually came back but sitting down to your favourite food and not being able to taste it really sucked.

    I knew a woman who had it happen to her when she hit her head, it was permanent. She couldnt taste either.
