After suspected of having wuflu in early March 2020, (not tested)that early summer began w phantom burning cigarette smells off/on. March 2021 negative CT/ ENT work up. Symptom is lessening over time but still crops up. ENT said such can be a “viral effect”. MRI would be next step but have not decided to do yet. After all the cRAp , not sure I’d be able to withstand brain tumor/ brain damage news. Leaving it up to God ?%.
Just so you know there is some recovery from brain damage even years later but the most significant recovery is seen in the first 6 months. That is also the time it takes for nerves to heal up. So there is still some hope for you yet to recover. The brain is pretty resilient especially in adults. Unfortunately, children are at higher risk for permanent problems since they have not formed the proper neural networks that an adult has formed over the years.
Thx so much for encouragement fren. I’m late 60s so whatever is, will be! I’m an active type, and ceramic artist. The creative side of brain seems very alive & well!!!!again, thank you!
If losing some brain cells might explain the loss of smell symptom, how would they go about explaining the recovery of that sense?
I used to work with Brain Injured patients. There is some recovery after initial brain damage.
So we should expect Bai-Deng to fly through the cognitive test?
