Posted: 11-11-03 03:49am

I've recently recovered due to fungal meningitus(2mths hosp.W/severe brain pressure) since my release,i've lost all sense of smell but not
taste. I'd like to know how this happened and if I will recover from it.
Any input would be appreciated. Sad frustrated 40yr old male.Dom

I don't know if this could be of any help to you, but my mother experienced the same thing following a bad case of bronchitis about 8 years ago. She still has not totally gotten back her sense of smell. She went to a specialist and found that she has nasal polyps, non-cancerous things that grow in the lining of the nasal passages. Could this be what you are suffering from? Hope this is helpful.
