Yeah! If you have a cold be very careful with taking any zinc, it is know to interfere with sense of smell. Although it claims to shorten the life of a cold; it can damage your sense of smell. I had a horrible sinus infection and lost my sense of smell for about a month. It was awful. Glad you're better.

Eh, you had a legitimate concern, you just needed to give it more time before allowing yourself to think it was permanent. Either way, it's good to know it was just temporary.Thanks, guysGlad it came back Keddy

Believe me, I willNow stay away from that nasal spray from hell!That crap should come with a warning label. Jeeeeesus... Nice of the drug company who manufactures that stuff to give me a borderline anxiety attack for three days.

I kind of figured that it wasn't permanent. Three days?! I can understand weeks on end, but only three days? I have heard of Afrin, but not anything like that.
I am glad you can SMELL! AxS's Adam Sandler needs to SMELL things too!
OMG WOOHOOOOO!!!!
And you were not overreacting. You had every right to be upset over that loss of smell and taste, especially considering you weren't sure if it was going to be temporary or not. I would have been freaking out like crazy as well.
I'm glad it all came back!
I would have given it at least a week. If a medication caused loss of smell after three days, it would have been removed from the market and rightly so.
Pickin' and Grinnin'!
An asshole I used to know was like that from a brain injury. He never got his smell or taste back.
Wow, glad it did I think I would DIE if i lost mine....food is too yummy!
Yah my doctors have also prescribed this to me as well in the past.
That really sucks..Class action law-suit?

How is it now, Keddy? Any improvement?
My FIL lost his sense of smell and taste, too. He also lost the ability to salivate (is that a word? When you can't produce saliva?). He, too, was so sad and upset. His, too, was from medication, due to a stroke. The only things he would eat and drink were water, brown rice with chicken broth, and Ensure. We're huge foodies. It hurt us watching him struggle with losing those senses, when food had been such a important part of our lives together.
I've only just spotted this (slow, much??) but I'm glad to her you're ok.
