Hello,

I just found this site and will be coming back to it regularly I suffered a fall in March of this year and fractured my skull, had a hematoma on the brain and am currently taking 500 mg. daily of Keppra (generic form) I am an otherwise healthy 56 year old female. I was diagnosed with moderate TBI and since the accident I have not had any smell or taste. I sometimes will get a very weird taste (no smell) that tastes like a bad burnt ash or a soapy taste. I have been told by my neurologist and ENT that the way I hit my head, I hit both front and back and was in ICU for 5 days, that I may never regain it. I am scheduled to visit the Smell and Taste Clinic in Philadelphia PA in Jan. Dr. RIchard Doty, who is renowned in treating and diagnosing heads this clinic.

Thank you and can't wait to read more posts about this.
