I had yet to reach the dysosmia phase of recovery, if I would ever reach it at all. But even though the Monell Center couldn’t offer a proven treatment for my condition, the doctor there told me that there was one thing I could do to give my nose a chance.

Monell referred me to Chrissi Kelly, a British smell researcher who has suffered from anosmia since 2012 and heads up a foundation called AbScent (see what they did there), which is dedicated to both raising awareness of smell loss and finding a cure for it. You can go to the AbScent website and test your snout to determine what exact kind of smell loss you have and why you have it. I filled out their questionnaire.

How did you lose your sense of smell?

I answered, “brain injury.”

Do you sometimes smell things that other people can’t smell, like something burning?

I did not.

Can you sometimes recognise some sort of smell, but don’t know what it is?

I could not.

Can you tell the difference between salt water, sugar water, and water with a little white vinegar in it?
