crashtst Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Just curious whether anyone else out there has a very poor sense of smell, specifically through their left nostril? I notice that when my depression lifts (AKA, my left prefrontal cortex activates) my sense of smell returns as well. So...just throwing a line out there, seeing if anyone else has a similar experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trace Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi crashtstHave you thought about seeing a doctor about this? As depression can create physical illnesses. I am not a professional, but it sounds like it could be linked to your sinus's.Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashtst Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 It's linked to a disfunction in the limbic system, that much I know for sure.When emotionality, Left Prefrontal Cortex activity returns, so does my ability to smell, and breath appropriately through my nose... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura123 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I have a poor sense of smell also when taking AD's. And my nose is stuffy, especially left side. Interesting what you say about the left prefrontal cortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 YES, and it’s always while at my most stressed or triggered. One of my therapists said it’s definitely related. I’d be curious to know the exact mechanism of action behind it, but I do believe that it’s psychological in nature in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
