This week, join me in listening to an interview with Sascha Maude. She is currently residing in Wakefield in Yorkshire in the UK. We talk about her experiences dealing with anosmia then parosmia due to contracting Covid-19 from her mom who also fell sick back with it back in April 2020. Sascha takes us through the timeline of dealing with both smell disorders and explains the lack of resources that were available to her during this time due to the restrictions on being seen in the hospital due to Covid-19. We discuss the ongoing need for support for everyone who lost their sense of smell/became parosmic due to Covid-19 and much more. You can learn more about AbScent online here.

Chrissi Kelly is the founder of AbScent, a UK-based charity that is dedicated to providing support and trusted information to those affected by anosmia and other smell disorders. After her own struggles with smell loss, she has committed herself to the advancement of smell training and research. We found her perspective enlightening and, while we aren't personally experiencing parosmia, we imagine this conversation might provide some clarity and encouragement to those afflicted by this uncomfortable phenomenon. The main takeaway? Consider parosmia an injury, not an illness, and be patient with yourself as your body mends and heals. AbScent website: https://abscent.org/

Compared to Brooke's episode on Tuesday, this episode is a great example of "same virus, different stories." In the second episode of our Parosmia Series, we talk to Marilyn who had some of the weirdest and worst symptoms of Covid... yet never received a positive test. Not one. Without a positive test can she still claim to have had Covid? How else can she explain the acrid metal taste she felt in her mouth every time she consumed onions? Or the heaviness in her chest when she tried to breathe? We talk about how unsettling it is to be betrayed by your body and Raymond shares why it's important to get a second opinion if you don't feel heard by your doctor. On another note, Caroline tries her hand at parody songs about the pandemic and they are not great.

We're kicking off Season 2 with a series about parosmia, perhaps the most odd and startling long-hauler symptom to date. Parosmia is dysfunctional smell detection characterized by the inability of the brain to correctly identify an odor's "natural" smell. Instead, the natural odor is usually transformed into an unpleasant aroma, typically a "'burned,' 'rotting,' 'fecal,' or 'chemical' smell".  Pre-pandemic this was a symptom often found in patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment or persons recovering from head trauma. Its current link to coronavirus confounds doctors and scientists as there is no immediate cure. Brooke is our first guest and she has been struggling with her symptoms for 10 months. It is quite an emotional interview as she breaks down what her day to day life is like living with parosmia. She recounts how she may have gotten it, what she can and cannot consume, and shares resources that have helped her along the way (which are posted below).

Put on your headphones and join artist Jan Uprichard on a self-directed smell walk to explore your surroundings with your nose. Find out more at cca-derry-londonderry.org For CCA during lockdown, Jan has created OlfactoStroll, a smell walk for our city, however, you can listen to the audio anywhere in the world or around your own home to create your own OlfactoStroll. Both walking and smell have taken on added importance during the pandemic. This guided walk offers a different way to experience familiar surroundings guided by a series of prompts from the artist. The podcast/guided walk, is accompanied by a series of Deep Smelling protocols, visible through our gallery windows and at various spots around the city. Jan is an artist and freelance curator/producer based in Belfast. She is currently a PhD researcher at Ulster University. OlfactoStroll is grounded in Jan's PhD research, in which she is developing a method of Deep Smelling. Deep Smelling is a meditative, experiential and process-based art practice, which brings our attention to our sense of smell. As an artist and researcher Jan works with smell as a device to re-programme how we perceive our surroundings, whilst themes of friendship fuel her curatorial practice. Jan's art practice oscillates between participatory events and obsessive research, using smell, walking, archives, mapping, food, sound, film, bookmaking, botany, and interventions as tools. Jan's hope, as we negotiate the pandemic and try to figure out what a ‘new normal' could be, is that we take the opportunity to maintain a slower pace. That we will reflect on our experiences with a quiet activism, that utilises taking time to do nothing but wander around, and in this case, notice what we can smell and sense around us. * If you are experiencing a loss or distortion of your sense of smell this could be a symptom of Covid-19; please follow guidance to self-isolate and book a test www.nidirect.gov.uk AbScent is a UK charity that offers support and advice to people with smell disorders. Their resources include smell training, a technique that can help to stimulate the sense of smell and encourage regeneration of the olfactory nerve. Visit their website at AbScent.org.
