Well you can do everything Susie says, or you could go immediatly to your doctor and tell him what has happened because you might have had a stroke.
That's the trouble with naturopaths, they give a love a load of rubbish advice about avoiding smells while you're brain is dying
<<Please help its frustrating me that i cant smell anything >>
A change in scent sensing means a change in scent sensing neuron health. Neurons (nerve cells) regulate body functions, inducing our senses. An extreme change means one or more neurons have become unhealthy. That health may be restored by avoiding those things that made the neurons unhealthy in the first place. That is too much stimulation from something too toxic, since it's toxic substances that injure neurons. I had a similar problem several years ago.
1) To treat that problem, stop using anything scented, especially air fresheners, perfumes, floor cleaners, window cleaners, shampoos, deodorants,hair sprays, and especially laundry detergent and fabric softeners.
2) Immediately rewash your bedding and pillows in unscented laundry detergent, rinse twice, and skip the fabric softener from now on, unless it's baking soda in the rinse cycle. Do this with all laundry. Then start rewashing your shirts / tops - the things closest to your nose.
3) Within a week or less, your sense of smell should return. It takes about a week, in my experience, for neurons to calm down, but each case is different. While you're at it, if you can further help the neurons by avoiding processed foods and eat all or only whole foods (produces), meats, eggs, and drink only whole organic milk if possible. Avoid soft drinks - also a processed food.
I don't know if this sort of problem is linked to other kinds of neuron injury and are an indicator of any other health problems, but in the mean time my advice can't hurt and it certainly will help this problems and future similar problems known as autonomic neuropathies. Good luck. Hope you are better soon.
