Default sense of smell

Any one have a loss of smell? I can not smell natural gas or my kids messy diapers.

My MS doctor said she would generally send someone with a loss of smell for an MRI to see if there was a tumor that was causing the problem but I had an MRI.

I told her I thought it was from my chronic allergies and sinus problems. She said sinus problems can cause loss of smell.

We didn't talk about if it could be related to MS but I do wonder. Anyone else have this problem? I am dx'd with MS so I am especially curious about those with a dx of MS.
