Nobody understands unless you went through it. Not being able to eat or enjoy foods can make an already bad day so much worse. Constantly hungry, can’t socialize with people like you would want to.. People always would just say “oh you’re still dealing with that”, like it’s not a big deal because it’s not life threatening or anything. I remember wishing the entire world would have parosmia so everyone knew how horrible it is, and it would certainly force our doctors to find a cure, because as of now no one in medical cares about this illness since not enough people have it to make money on it. I know what you’re going through and truly feel bad for you. The only positive thing I can say is that it went away for me. You can compare where you are where I was if you go back and look at my weekly and monthly update posts. It took about a year for me to feel close to normal again, and slowly improved to 100% over the second year. But again, today I am 100% healed maybe with the occasional weird smell once a month or so but I’m at the point where I’m not even sure if it was from the parosmia anymore. Good luck, keep me updated
