Loss of Smell Due to a Concussion Posted: 02-13-07 03:00am
Had a head concussion and as a result lost
my sense of smell. After two doctor
visits (2 weeks in between the first to
the second visit) the doctor informed me
that time will recover my smell, he
predicted 90% in 1 year.What are the
effects/consequences of each of the
following: smoking cigarettes, drinking
alcohol, and smoking marijuana? Will
any/all of these inhibit my recovery of
smell? And if so in what specific way and
in relation to what specific quantities.
In the month since my concussion I have
abstained from all of these until now.
Thanks for your time, I dont want to be
without smell (and in a way taste)
forever!
