Ghosty, do you experience phantom odors? It's been over a year since recovering from the Coof. Acutely, my husband and I lost our sense of smell. Certain smells began returning after about a month, but about 2 months into our recovery my husband says, "why do I smell smoke?". I didn't smell it, but got worried and began checking the furnace, outlets, anything that I could think of that may start a fire. What I had not told my husband was occasionally I would smell a strange odor; I can only describe it as a cross between microwave butter popcorn and something rotten....my husband's phantom odor was smoke or cigarette smoke. These phantom episodes became less frequent as 2022 went on. There are still times when I experience the phantom odors, but now my odor has turned into a rancid hot oil/grease smell. Not sure if this info will be of use to Morpheus...
Same for me and my wife. It’s been a little over a year now; it’s gotten a bit better but my brain still processes certain scents strangely. Anything vaguely nutty or savory — peanut butter, meat, coffee grounds — smells weirdly stale, burnt, ashy … you called it with the old oil/grease smell.
