Hello.

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

I'm new here so bare with me. So I guessing chatting is based on the chat?

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

We can "chat" right here like we are now if you want to.

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

Yes! Just having a hard time since April 7. My life just about changed overnight. First I got gastritis then I got mid back pain. To my surprise it's osteoartritis, thoracic spine and small born spur. I'm seeing a chiropractor and I am feeling better. Just so afraid to actually do anything. Now, my sense of smell is out of control. I do have an appointment with en ENT but it's not until next month. I have my moments where I just can't stop feeling stressed out. I should be grateful that I can actually sit down.

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

I am so sorry that you are suffering through all of that. Are you getting any treatment specific to your depression also?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

I will see my therapist at the end of the month. Next month I will see a psychiatrist. I really do not want to be medicated.

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

You might not need to be medicated. Therapy may be enough. Now you are here with us. Being here has made such a huge difference in my life. Hopefully you will find it as helpful.

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

Thank you!

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

What type of support would be helpful for you? What do you need right now?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

Motivation

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

This is a great place to get motivation. You can post what you are trying to accomplish and get people's support. Be sure to break things down into baby steps. Just take one small step at a time to set yourself up for success. What is the first thing you are trying to find motivation for?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

I really just want to be able to breathe without smelling everything and anything. If anyone has an suggestions

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

I am not sure I understand can you say a little bit more about that?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

My sense of smell if really sensitive! I can't handle perfume, coffee etc. It has gotten so out of control that I can't go out. I'm looking for home remedies

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

I know you have an appointment with your ENT next month. Did you talk to your general practitioner? Did they have any advice. Have you googled it yet? Did anything in particular trigger this? How long has it been happening for?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

This has been going on for about two years. I have spoken to my doctor since. At the time I just want call tomorrow and pay it out if pocket since I need to referral

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

Wow that is a long time with no answers. Do you think something triggered it? Did you have Covid?

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

Yes, last year

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

Oh but that was after the sensitivity not before. Did it change at all while you had Covid? Sometimes Covid can make you lose your smell.

[vanscoy in reply to gajh]

It wasn't as bad as it it now

[gajh in reply to vanscoy]

Have you googled it at all? Your doctor had nothing to say?
