I lost my sense of smell a year ago, but my sense of taste is not affected. What would cause this and how can it be resolved?

My mom had the same thing ! We tracked it down to when she was taking a heart pill and a diuretic. I forgot the names of the meds, but I"m sure the meds caused it. She couldn't smell a thing, but T.G. she could still taste. Ask your Dr. what you might do to get your sense of smell back, so you can smell the beautiful blossoms and flowers of the spring.

Interesting that someone with the name "Chiangmai" would answer. Just came back from a month in Thailand, though we stayed down south near Pattaya, where my wife is from. Not having sense of smell has some benefits, like not being able to smell gutters and porta potties and the like, but it also somewhat diminishes the enjoyment of flowers and food.

I live part time in CM and will probably be there in about 8 weeks'. Go there if you haven't been there. It's my favorite place in Thailand.
