I got a concussion skateboarding down a hill on new years eve. After i got the concussion i went to go get a ct scan an they foun out there was brusing and bleeding to the brain. The doctor prescribed me some medication that was steroids, i think it was called dexamethasome or something like that. Anyways for the month i was taking that medication my smell an taste was normal, uneffected my the concussion.

After i ran out of medication. I was to go in an get another ct scan to make sure the bleeding had stoped. I went into the doctors a month after the accident after i had ran out of the medication i was on. The ct showed good news. The bleeding had stopped. The docotr asked if there was anything else wrong such as heaaches or ddizziness etc. There wasnt much besides headaches.

A couple of weeks after the accident out of no where my smell became distorted. During the first month of the accident i was eating like a mad man and everything tasted normal. Its only a month a week later.after i get off of the meds, that my smell becomes distorted.


Its been almost 7 months an my smell an taste are very distorted. I cant smell aything normal. Im here at a friends house for the weekd and he has some beers for us to enjoy and im trying to bare the newly distorted taste of beer but it now taste awful. Is my life gonna be like this?? when im at a wedding and theres wine out, Am i going to have to pretend to enjoy it.


Im so down about this. I had a breakup with a first love of mine and ive been stressing like a mad man. Ive recently tried to cut down on stressing because i know it wont help me get better. Doctors dont seem to be able to do anything for me. They said it will have to heal on its own if it heals at all. Ive been taking vitamin super B. i havvnt noticed any changes.


Am i suppose to live with this distorted smell for the rest of my life. Imagine you smelling rotting chicken constantly...thats whats happening. I rather not be able to smell anything then this.

Please, Help..anyone
