Big nose loses function.

For the past six months or so, I feel like my sense of smell is degenerating at a steady pace.  I have trouble smelling most things unless they're extremely pungent or if the scents are within a certain proximity.  Since my sense of smell has been deteriorating, my sense of taste as also felt it's effects.  Everything that used to taste good no longer has the same flavors I had become familiar with.  It's quite sad.  Food, for the most part, has become less enjoyable and I find myself tasting the textures now more than the flavors of foods.  The lack of my sense of smell doesn't bother me as much as my sense of taste does.  I really miss being able to enjoy food as much as I used to.  Ironically, I have gained weight since coming back to San Francisco.  Maybe the tasteless food causes my brain to signal my body that I haven't been satisfied so I eat more. 

I had a physical for the first time in my life a few weeks ago with full blood work and was cleared.  Maybe it's something else that they have to look for specifically.  I wonder if I have some sort of condition that isn't known or documented.  It would be interesting to have doctors pay me to use my body for tests.  

Hasta manana,

No seniora, como estoy.
