This is an olfactory groove #Meningioma and they can grow very slow and become a very large size before patients have complaints.
Typically it can cause loss of sense of smell and sometimes taste. Usually with further questioning, there’s also some personality and mood changes, headaches and for some people visual changes. But it’s very possible to only have a complaint of loss a sense of smell. #anosmia

The lingering symptoms of the loss of smell (anosmia) and taste are classic to ‘long COVID’ along with others symptoms like fatigue and brain fog.
Speak to your health practitioner to include these supplements that may help alleviate the symptoms.

Along with the above supplements it is suggest to do some training for the nasal epithelial cells. Olfactory training involves repeat and deliberate sniffing of a set of odorants (commonly lemon, rose, cloves, and eucalyptus) for 20 seconds each at least twice a day for at least 3 months (or longer if possible). Studies have demonstrated improved olfaction in patients with postinfectious OD after olfactory training.

🎙️AT THE STUDIO WITH KITCHEN THEORY🎙️
In this clip, @jozef_youssef shares just how devastating that would be — not just professionally, but personally.
Smell is the most overlooked sense, yet it shapes how we taste, feel, remember, and even connect with others. Lose it, and your entire sensory world changes.
Have you ever really thought about what smell does for you?

Did this happen to you??
I can imagine the inability to smell not being a big deal (I already have a terrible sense of smell, which is JUST FINE when you work in the ER 😂), but the lack of taste seems like torture. A delicious meal with your favorite beverage just elevates the mood!! A colleague of mine loss his sense of smell/taste for almost six months!! He said it robbed him of so much joy.
Thankfully, there has been much less change in smell/taste with Omicron. Hopefully future variants will be just as thoughtful 🤞

VIVIR CON DOS SENTIDOS MENOS
Mucha más gente de la que se imaginan, vive sin gusto ni olfato. En mi caso, tener anosmia, me ayudó a que Pablo Música exista. Y si, se que muchos ya saben pero público se renovó mucho el último tiempo y por eso quiero compartirselos de nuevo!❤️
Quiero leer más casos y como lo viven. También responderé las dudas que aparezcan! Los leo 🩷

There are real options now in addition to a olfactory training if you lost your smell.
Some studies support the use of Fish Oil for smell recovery while others have noted that PEA LUT can help enhance olfactory training.
PRP is an exciting new option for patients. And I want to stress that it’s new but it’s relatively harmless and has shown great promise.
