MG and the Sense of Smell

cait24 · 01-30-2014, 03:15 PM

I read a couple of articles on MG patients showing a loss of smell early in the disease.

Here is one of the links.

I have had an impaired sense of smell for years.

I always thought that it was a gift from God since the work that I do stinks. (Literally, not figuratively). It probably is all related.

I was having some pretty bad CNS issues before I started getting treated for MG. I was told that I was insane. I requested treatment for said insanity and I was told that I wasn't insane after all. Hmmm.

The whole thing stinks. But I don't notice smells that much.........

Thanks. I'm going to print the article and bring it to my neurologist on Monday.

I also did a Google search and found the following:
