[QUOTE="Don Quixote, post: 1551466, member: 17836"] In my case it took about a month to regain smell and taste. However, [I]four months later [/I]I am having parosmia and so is my girlfriend who lost her smell and taste as well. When I got covid I lost the ability to smell body odor amongst other smells but that one did not come back. Now my body odor or sweat finally smells, but it smells at times to me like something rotting, like rotting meat or ammonia or something. It's disgusting. My girlfriend (who is in another city right now) is having the same exact thing and she noticed it earlier than me for herself, and I had no idea what she was talking about. So I looked it up and tons of people on reddit are mentioning this and say it happened [I]months [/I]after getting Covid. So this is just bizarre. Either the smell is real (doubtful) and we are detoxing still after months, [I]or [/I]there is some kind of long-term neuronal damage to the brain that the brain is still coming to grips with. One theory is olfactory bulb damage. The other is "axon miswiring": "[I]Parosmia may occur when newly grown stem cells that develop into neurons in the nose attempt to extend their long fibers, called axons, through tiny holes in the base of the skull and connect with a structure in the brain called the olfactory bulb. Sometimes axons connect to the wrong place, causing erratic smell, but the miswiring can potentially correct itself, given enough time."[/I] Possible treatments could include "olfactory bulb retraining" which consists of smelling various essential oils daily for weeks, topical steroids, or anti-inflammatories. I'm hoping it is just my neurons finally coming back "online." By the way, [USER=13295]@Batman_[/USER] did you have tinnitus? Because I got tinnitus too and I think that is a sign of brain inflammation/damage. Ivermectin does [B]not [/B]cross the blood brain barrier, you need to find something else that does which might calm the inflammation––magnoferrin (mango leaf extract), reservatrol, curcumin, vitamin C, etc. [/QUOTE]
