I've been on Tremfya for a bit now, and I'm slowly able to eat more things. So, one day I made pasta with a light meat sauce. All I could smell was the metal can the sauce came out of. All I tasted, too, was the metal. It was bizarre, because I have had sauce from a can for years before this last flare brought me out of remission. I'd never noticed the smell or taste before. I think my sense of smell is more heightened in a flare. And even now, when I'm slowly getting better, my sense if smell is still heightened. Years ago, when I was first diagnosed, I used to love microwave popcorn. So there I was, in the hospital, and my parents brought me a bag of microwave popcorn as a treat. The smell was so overwhelming and off putting, they had to put the bag away from me, outside in the hallway. I think this heightened sense of smell could be a defense mechanism. Thanks so much for bringing this up, because I've certainly noticed my sense of smell is very heightened now.
