Default Lost sense of smell

Yes my sense of smell is almost gone and sometimes I smell things nobody else does like something is burning etc.
I agree with all the above posts. This is definately a symptom of PCS. My dad also has lost his sense of smell and he has Parkinson's disease. Apparently this is a fairly common symptom with neurological conditions.
It has affected my appetite and the way food tastes. I am surprised I have not lost more weight than I have.
