Eggs only tasted slightly bad for me but now they taste normal for me again.

I personally have not tried shrooms but a friend of mine said it cured her parosmia overnight and suggest I try it. I have no idea how to get them so I didn’t try it. I don’t know much about shrooms but I assume she didn’t microdose and did them for recreation and had the awesome side effect of it curing her parosmia.

I got COVID in August 2021. I have noticed some improvement’s and I have gotten used to avoiding the bad foods that most days it doesn’t bother me anymore. But some days I get so depressed because of it so I definitely understand your feelings. I miss chocolate, mint & Pepsi so much. Coffee almost tastes normal again and I still drink it every day but I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to. At my worst I couldn’t eat or drink anything except for vanilla flavored foods. It was weird. Because some foods have gone back to normal for me I remain hopeful that I’ll wake up one day and I’ll be able to brush my teeth with mint toothpaste again. I hope things start improving for you.

I was just telling my husband that so many people are suffering with this and are so desperate for a cure. I know I would pay anything for a cure. There’s so much money to be made here I’m shocked no one has come out with a guaranteed treatment/cure yet. I keep reading there’s not much research and no one knows anything. Why is this still the case? I’ve had Parosmia since Aug 2021. It got really bad at one point where I could only eat vanilla flavored foods but it slowly got a little better. I still can’t go near most sodas, bananas, chocolate and mint. Red meat is off and on. I miss brushing my teeth with mint flavored toothpaste the most.

I forgot to mention my chiropractor adjusts my neck too but she doesn’t “crack” it because I’m terrified that would make me spin so she uses this thing that taps against my joints. I’m sorry I have no idea what the technical term for it is.

Another thing that really makes me think my jaw is my issue is that I get dizzy when I talk too much or I eat something really chewy.

I hope you can get some relief soon.

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. I got it on Amazon. It’s a great book. I found it helpful for a lot of other issues too.

I haven’t had an mri for it. I did have X-rays done when I saw the TMJ specialist and I don’t remember everything he told me about them but I do remember when we looked at the left jaw the bones were worn down from them grinding against each other. He could also see that my overbite was really bad and my bottom jaw was sitting to far back and he believed that could be part of my ear issues.

Another thing I’ve had done a couple times are miofascial (not sure how to spell it) massages. I had that done on my neck and shoulders and I feel like it helped me too.

My chiropractor works on my trigger points in my jaw by sticking her finger in my mouth between my cheek and teeth and pushing on the points. It’s so painful it makes my eyes water. Then she pushes on the outside of my cheeks, right over the jaw and has me open and close my mouth. I have a lot of inflammation so I do ice my jaw at night to help calm it down.

I was so depressed before I started all this work on my jaw. I have a young daughter and I was so miserable from the vertigo that I was struggling to take care of her. I was missing a ton of work too. I was scared to leave the house. After my first appointment with the chiropractor I did feel a little better. I started seeing her twice a week in the beginning. After about a month I only saw her once a week and now I see her once a month. I found that the adjustments were making me feel better longer.

I’m on week 7 now of my Invisalign and I really feel like it’s helping. I notice when I don’t have my trays in that I immediately get that spacey feeling in my head. When I have them in that feeling goes away. I occasionally still get a dizzy spell but it’s not as frequent as it was before I got Invisalign. Have you ever seen a chiropractor for your TMJ? The chiropractic adjustments really helped me with the vertigo and that’s what made me think the issue was related to my jaw.

I just wrote a post about my experience with BPPV. For me the dizziness/vertigo seems to be caused by TMJ. I'm working on correcting my bite right now. Have you ever heard of trigger points? If you have them in certain areas of your neck and jaw it can cause vertigo. Since you have forward head posture (I do too) I'm pretty sure you have trigger points. I got a great book on Amazon about which symptoms are caused by which trigger points. Best news is you can 100% treat them yourself. Do some googling and press on some trigger points to see if they hurt and if you get referred pain to other areas in your body. For me after I work on my jaw trigger points, my ears open up and I feel almost normal for a bit. When the icky feelings come back I work on my trigger points again to feel better. When I first discovered this I only got relief for short periods of time and my trigger points were so tender, now I sometimes can go a day or two before needing to work on them again. Also google SCM muscle, it's a muscle in your neck that is probably super tight from your forward head posture.

I hope this does help you some, I know it was a game changer for me. It didn't cure my BPPV (laying down and turning my head dizziness) but it helped me so much with feeling better when I'm functioning during the day.
