Head injury question

[remaxrealtor]

I'm on the mend from my sad excuse of a dismount from a horse .

But....I had 2 pretty severe skull fractures and a lot of brain swelling and bleeding. It's been 9 weeks now and all of the sudden I have lost my sense of smell and have a really "metallic" taste in my mouth all the time.

Just wondering if anyone else has been through a similar injury and had these same issues pop up?

Thanks in advanced!

You have a cold and spit the penny out. You are cured I am not a doctor but I did eat at your husbands pizza place tonight.

See your doctor ASAP..I have five plates and enough titanium screws in my head to set off sensitive metal detectors.. Good luck.

My father had a stroke a few years back and suffers now from a chronic metallic taste in his mouth. Definitely get with your doctor and see what's up.

I'd talk to your doctor BUT a woman I worked with a few years back had no sense of smell or taste and it resulted from a very bad fall.

Me, Frick & Frack almost went there tonight. We went to Subway instead.

Yes, talk to a doctor. Related but not directly, I lost my sense of taste a couple years ago. NOTHING tasted good and because of it I quit eating. That led to many other problems that I'll have to live with the rest of my life. Get to a doc now.

Thanks so much everyone, especially Otter...the article made sense. I left a message for my head guy.

Hope I'll be seeing you all on Sunday!!!!

I work with a woman that had a severe concussion about 15 years ago and she lost her sense of smell and taste. Hers never came back. I would call the doctor and get in to see him.

Well, did he tell you that the fall tore out your smell buds and you'll never smell second-hand tobacco smoke again?
