I went home the next morning and because I dot have health insurance tried to rest the injury off. Three day later after non stop headaches I went to the ER and got a CT scan. There was bleeding an bruising to the brain. Found out Bleeding stoped when I went to the doctor to get a 2nd CT scan. A month or too after the accident out of no where my smell became all distorted. It’s been four months an still my smell and taste is distorted. I’m 19 years old, I don’t want to live he rest of my life like this.. Please please advice anyone. Everytime I take a breath in though my nose I smell this scent I can’t describe. I’ve been taking vitamin b everyday. I got a MRI with contrast and am planning o ask the neurologist if there’s inflammation or damage to the nerve responsible for the sence of smell.

Yeah you should have talked to your doctor about this problem when it showed up.

It’s called Anosmia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosmia ).
It’s part of the Postconcussion Syndrome ( http://www.mdguidelines.com/postconcu… ).
Usually it recovers spontaneously after SEVERAL more months.

Despite the fact that there are numerous deficiency signs of vitamin D that face men, let’s talk of the most critical insufficiency signs or symptoms of vitamin D before we move forward.

Higher Blood pressure level is certainly the most critical sign of all. A few studies show that lower levels of Vitamin D result in elevated blood pressure that face men. It had been also discovered that the amount of cardiac arrest is usually much higher usually during the winter seasons, when there exists an inferior exposure to sunshine. Remember that you will need to go out for some sunshine every single day, giving simply no significance to the period.
