 YES!! I could smell everything soooo much more!! I'm almost 10 weeks out and still can seem to smell more but it's more tolerable. Not sure if it's because I can now actually eat what I'm smelling, but my taste buds seem to be getting better, too. In the beginning, nothing tasted right. Made getting food in difficult!

Good luck!!

Hi,
  My doctor warmed me that this could happen and is quite common. Good to stay away from places that have different smells that mingle together. He said it can go away at anytime but is usually gone by 3 months.    Mag

YES...and 21 months later, it's still there. I cannot tolerate the smell of walking into a Wendy's, the smell of pepperoni, the smell of ANYTHING that is a little "off."

Yes!!!  Me, too!  I thought I was nuts, but thank goodness it happens to other people.  My son has this jumble of string he carries around that USED to be a blanket and I thought I was gonna vomit when he brought it close to me.  Phew.
