Their response is copied below. Either way I'm glad to know that the
oils can still work for her, even without smelling them.
I DID have a sinus infection (a really bad one) in 1996 and I am
pretty sure that was the start of my problem with taste and smell. I
went to an ENT doctor where I was living at the time and he said there
was nothing anyone could do as the nerves were probably damaged. I
have some sense of smell - for example, lavender is strong enough that
I can detect it; also onions, garlic, cat pee! Oddly - I can't smell
popcorn and if my house was on fire, I probably wouldn't notice until
it got really bad. Subtle smells are lost on me. This all affects
my taste as well and most things taste either salty or sweet without a
whole lot of variation.
What is REALLY strange - I sometimes experience "phantom" smells and
even tastes. The smells are most often not terrible but not
particularly pleasant - kind of like burnt coffee, musty or
occasionally pungent like burning rubber. It is a drag - I have to
admit, but I doubt there is much that can be done at this point.
So if anyone has any suggestions, we'd be glad to hear them. She
doesn't have a lot of money (fixed income)
Thanks,
Amy
