I Have Congenital Anosmia

To be honest, I have never missed it.  90% of the time smells that people mention are awful ones, and I can do without that, thank you very much.  I am also really tired of people informing me that since I can't smell, I can't...

Hi, I'm 35 years old and I have never been able to smell anything. It's wonderful to see that there are so many others with the same condition. I always remember pretending I could smell when I was little. I think I was around the...

I am 56 years old and I have never been able to smell. When I was younger I would pretend I could smell because no one believed me when I said I couldn't smell. My parents and siblings never believed me until I was the age of 30. I...

I was born with no sense of smell. I read a lot of different posts and I have come to the point that if u have to have a less sense , then that's smell. I seriously cant smell anything, and I feel different from friends since they...

I recently discovered that I have Anosmia. I never mentioned my lack of smell before because I thought I was crazy. I merely relied on memories to fill the void. Such memories as my grandmother's chocolate chip cookies are the only...

So, since I was born, I've never been able to smell-well obviously, that's what I just basically put in the title. When I was little, I used to tell my mom that I could smell, just because I was little, and I didn't really want to be...
