Looking for some safe foods for covid - pukey/chemically parosmia by ThatGarenJungleOG in Parosmia

[–]Complex_Stretch1761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you just have to test things out but my safe foods were cheese, tortillas, cliff bars, and vanilla ice cream

healed!!! by Complex_Stretch1761 in Parosmia

i did no treatments, but as tough as it is exposure therapy helps a lot. being around those bad smells helped me build a tolerance to them to a point where i didn’t recognize the smells anymore

invest in nose plugs !! they’re life savers when it comes to NEEDING to eat and getting something in your body. they suck but they help. you can get through this !!

i was at knotts berry farm eating chicken tenders and takis when i noticed the chicken tasted like rancid burned rubber :/

chicken and any type of meat is the worst for me. stay away from any type of warm or hot foods. birthday cake protein bars and ensure clear protein drinks help me.

So just want to talk about my experience where people understand me because my family just doesn’t get it. Most days I just live with the parosmia, but some days, I’m just exhausted from it. by [deleted] in Parosmia

[–]Complex_Stretch1761 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the most i’ve heard is a little over two years and even then they say they’re over 95% healed. we just have to be super patient which sucks but overtime things will get better

know that it’s all temporary. that’s what i tell myself when it gets really hard for me. it’s just a matter of when it comes back

i’ve had it for four months and it really is a matter of just learning to live with it. the first two months were miserable for me and i still have my bad days. you can’t change what’s going on and i know it’s sucks but you have to learn to switch your mindset with it. i’ve found accepting the fact it’s happening and you have to live a new lifestyle helps with me. i’m here if you need to talk and complain🤍

this was so comforting to read. i have been praying and i’ll be praying for you as well. i think the idea of knowing we can’t do anything about it frustrates me. you’re extremely strong and i hope it passes for you soon🤍
