Zicam side effects? The Zicam recall and my loss of smell from Zicam
Great. Just great! I needed relief from allergies so I heard about Zicam, and now just imagine what it is like to have had more than one doctor tell you that you don't really have a loss of smell, that your sense of smell and sense of taste isn't damaged or lost at all, but that it is in your head!
So you go to a shrink and of course you know that nobody is ever kicked out of a psychologist's office for being "healthy," so you go there for a year, which is making you feel pointless as a human because nothing works and you can't smell anything... worst of all you can't TASTE anything. :( Then you start hearing all about zicam side effects. About this time you find out that you have no business at a shrink. No business at all because they are YOUR identical zicam side effects!
Ok enough complaining and feeling sorry for myself, so here is the question: Should I get involved in the Zicam class action lawsuit? Do these things ever work out?
Is there anything that can be done to restore my sense of smell? Can the effects of Zicam be reversed? Is there any cure for any kind of loss of senses like the losses that have been experienced here: Loss of sense of smell and a complete and total loss of the sense of taste.
Help!
Thank you!
P.S. Anyone reading this who thinks they have a crappy life, just picture not being able to taste food again for the rest of your life.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. You should try another doctor, one that doesn't doubt your symptoms, and I would look into filing a lawsuit if I were you, simply for your pain & suffering you went through after dealing with no one believing you, also for your medical & shrink bills. I'm sure you could look into the lawsuit online for more info, or call a lawyer & see what advice they can give you.

First and foremost, you need to relax. Stressing isn't going to make anything better, if anything it will make everything worse. There are many things worse than not being able to smell or taste again. I promise.
You need to go to your doctor. Tell them you are a Zicam user, and you've had this sensory loss for a long time. They can tell you if it's reversible or not, and what you should do from there. This recall of Zicam is new, so research on it is probably new too. You may have to wait to see results one way or another.
As for the lawsuit, contact your lawyer.If you don't have one, get one. They can help you decide if you have a case, and then help you if you do.
I'm sorry about this, but just rememher there are always worse things.
