I've had it for 7 years now... Usual stuff. Had Phantosmia for a couple of years. Does anybody have anything interesting to pass on?

Hi, Great to see your question!

My sense of smell is definately not as good! A guy local to me - Duncan Boak has set up a group called FifthSense.org.uk

He works with Carl Philpott at the James Paget Hospital, Ive been to meeting which have been really helpful.

I have never heard of Phantosmia but having now looked it up - discovered its one of the things Ive been struggling with most since my SAH

The smell I have is nearly always the same - it doesnt change much but its such a distraction and can make my eyes water.

Please let me know some details you have?
