Sudden heightened sense of smell

[Anonymous]

The loss was subtle and never complete by any means. I have thought of mentioning it to my doctor, but now that it is recovered, not sure what she would say. I overall like her, but she does have a way of being dismissive of certain types of complaints. I sometimes feel like a hypochondriac with her.

Have you started exercising more? Saw a random fb post where a guy said after starting running his senses were sharper.

Interesting! I have exercised very similarly for the past 25 years, so don't think that is it. I wonder though if some sort of new stimulation (exercise, deliberately smelling various scents) could improve smell ???

BTW, thanks for all the input - it has made me think!!
