Scott, Thanks for the truly compassionate and understanding post. I really keep hoping you will one day post your success. But now I don't know how you find the strength to do the research you do, and to give the atta boys to fellow babblers when they find success. You are truly a very strong and good person to me and I know others. The last thing I will say about myself is that one year ago I lost my taste and smell. So now where is the pleasure in life? I went to Wake Forrest Taste and Smell Center and they worked me up for 8hours. Conclusion you must have had a virus that destroyed the neurons in your nose. The only hope is try prednisone starting at 60mg and titrate down over 2 wks. That didn't work. Then I was told to take Theophylline up to 4 or 600mg a day for 4-6monts and see if it helped. That was all that could be done. I have the pills but just can't take a med like this for taste and smell. It doesn't make sense to me. I looked on the internet and saw they use it in Washington at the Taste and Smell Center too. I'm too afraid. Show me some people who have taken it that it worked for first. Fondly, Phillipa
