I was looking at this forum specifically, but none of them had neuropathy and loss of smell at the same time, My PCP was no help at all, in fact i think she was trying to divert from the actual diagnosis. My loss of smell has not come back, in the 3.5 months, it went approximately 30-50% in the first few weeks, but essentially went to 5-10%, i have looked online that smell loss of taste does not come back easily or at all.
The other strange thing, nobody here has loss of soft sensations in your organs, usually you can feel when your eating or peeing, i can barely detect. I still think this has something to do with the diphenhydramine i took, but im not sure.

Yesterday i developed food poisoning, and i did not feel the urge to vomit, until my stomach involuntarily contracted and my dinner came out at the sink, i puked 2 more times, and had diarrhea as well. note, i could barely feel it, only when its about to come out.
Ill have to tell the opthamologist about my other symptoms, that arnt eye issues, whether or not he will help me is beyond me. I have a feeling, "ask your pcp" to refer to another specialist. I know she is just dragging me along in the hopes i accept your mental disorder diagnosis, which i find pretty offensive, She was unwilling to do other tests. being in a welfare system sucks pretty much, because you have no say as to what tests or doctors you can see.
The only other provider i believe, is anthem blue partnership plan,(find your own doctors),i have heard horror stories about that insurance group though.
