My Smell Came Back

[mmorris]

@ FlamingoTuto I absolutely love, love, love dogs My brother has 2 English bull dogs and my son has a boxer that are so adorable. They are wonderful dog parents. It breaks my heart when I babysit them and the dogs cry for them. With that said my husband and I travel a lot and if I owned a dog it would break my heart to leave them also if they ever become sick... OMG!!

Yes, better to wait until you're not traveling to have a pet. We couldn't have one for quite a while and it was killing me. At least you've got dogs to visit. Just be forewarned not to stand downwind at certain times now that you sense of smell has recovered.

wait till you smell your old stuff and people that smokes near you. it will make you sick! i was thrilled when my sense of smell came back!

Oh great! I have an dog approaching 15 years old. I got him as a throw away even though he is papered to the nines (AKC registered show dog) with great breed lines. While a handful over the last 15 1/2 years to say the least he has become a great little buddy. The downside, he gets his evening fill and lays down near me (in my scent cone because he is totally blind) goes to sleep and farts, and farts, and farts. I'm talking about peal the paint off of the walls 'silent but deadly' farts.

I may have to take up smoking or resort to a clothes pin on my nose.

I'm over four months now, and still waiting to get my sense of smell and taste back. I'm starting to think I just did too much damage over 36 years and it's not gonna happen for me.

I wonder about that, myself much of the time, then I catch a brief whiff of something pleasant (or not). I can smell my smoking co-workers and have that self realization moment. A friend told me today my car smells better, lol.

I smoked over 40 years. I think, I think, it came back (with a vengence) at just over five months. Don't give up hope yet.

That's how it started with me. Just a wiff of something now and then. Now I've got bad hayfever and can't smell much of anything again, lol.

That avatar busts me up.

That poor baby. Our old dog used to fall asleep when he got old and you could tell how long he had been sleeping by how far his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. He didn't fart much, thinking this one is only going to get worse the older he gets. Keeping him anyway.

Yeah not to be too blunt but I was in the restroom today and..... well I'll just say I owe my wife some serious apology for what I have made her endure for 16 years now and kept telling her it's not THAT bad.

 

[skdragon]

yeah bro, it happens to a lot of us, but u going to keep getting a better smell of everything, enjoy and Happy Vaping

 

[Rat2chat2]

Personally, I think this is the only disadvantage I have found so far. Sure the great smells smell great.... but the bad ones are worse than I remembered. View attachment 263443

This makes me think about a sign I saw near a till in a 'greasy spoon' restaurant years ago. It read "Don't complain about our coffee, one day you will be old and weak too." You just have to love the old pups a little bit more, and bath them a bit more often.

Try changing his food up. I fed my dog Nutro for a long time and heard good things about Wellness so I gave it a shot but it ended up being too rich for my dog and he would blow up my condo. I switched back to Nutro and it went away. He's 14 now.. It's funny because I think I gave him a complex when he was farting so much I would say to him "Damn Buster!" and he would walk away with his head down ashamed... hahaha.. now if only I could teach him to walk away before he farts!

I am an RN, I would like my smell to go away when I am at work!!! Why can't I smell the good stuff??

 

[zapped]

Personally, I think the time it takes to get your sense of smell and taste back depends on how much and how long you smoked. That being said, even with some of the obvious downsides mention here, I wouldn't go back to smoking for anything in the world.

Fall smells absolutely incredible to me after a year cigarette free, I can only imagine what Thanksgiving and Christmas is going to smell like.

 

[Recycled Roadkill]

My smell came back too. I don't know what people think I smell like now but before I quit they said I stink of cigarettes.
