It has now happened to me as of 2 1/2 days ago. I am a nurse and a long term suffer of sinus infections - I have never experienced this. You literally can smell nothing, I tried so many things. Pepper, garlic, essential oil, coffee, candle. It is just gone.

I just don’t understand it. I started with what I thought was a regular sinus infection then the loss of smell, nausea and now headache. It has been 7 days since I first got sick. I could always kick a sinus infection with my sinus wash but it is evolving differently. Now my head feels heavy but next to no drainage.

My desire to eat is way decreased as well, I am guessing no sense of smell or taste is making that happen.
