I keep smelling Apple Fritters, the problem with that is, there are No Apple Fritters in any capacity anywhere remotely close to me; #phantomsmells, #Phantosmia

Imagine this: you’re relaxing at home, maybe reading a book, and suddenly… a whiff of something burning. Like toast left too long in the toaster. You jump up, check the kitchen. Nothing. #COVID19smellloss #nasalpolyps #NeurologicalDisorders #olfactoryhallucinations #phantomsmells #phantosmia #SinusInfection

I've had a couple of visual migraine /migraine aura episodes over the last couple of days - quite minor and short lived compared to what I've had in the past.

One weird thing is, that I think I'm getting Phantosomia - smelling something that isn't there, in this case a leather-like smell, it's very faint, but it seems to precede the visual symptoms.
As usual the migraine is associated with stress, and as always there's no headache.

If this carries on, I think it'll be a call to the doctor - which I can do without - particularly if I get sent back to the Neurologist again.

I have phantosmia, apparently from long COVID. (Still haven't gotten my sense of smell back.) Anyway, the phantom scent is a very faint, slightly spicy perfume smell, kind of like the way your clothes smell the morning after a party. It's a little annoying.

@NekoArc Only vaguely related but I smoked frae birth till aboot 7 year ago when I promised mah spouse I'd stop on Jan 3 of that year. Due tae drowning (clearly nae fatal) and Long Covid, I now hae #Phantosmia what manifests as, you guessed it, cigarette smoke. I smell this about 70% of the day regardless of where I am.
My Pantosmia hae been relentless fur the past few day. #Phantosmia #OlfactoryHallucinations #Neurodivergent #MentalHealth #IAmVeryBroken

I cannae even BEGIN tae express in words just how fucking annoying #Phantosmia is. Mine manifests mostly as #cigarette smoke. #OlfactoryHallucinations.

@emily_rj I also replied to someone on Twitter yesterday about this, maybe it was you. My phantosmia went from cigarette smoke to ashtray to coal to dirty cooking: all sort of smokey. When I was having strong and frequent waves/attacks of all-over tingling and weakness very early in LC, it was accompanied by a metallic/smokey taste that felt like it came from my lungs. I've seen others say that their phantosmia was smokey so maybe it isn't (only?) memory-based.
