I had an MRI on Sunday and finally got the results Wedneday: no tumors or anything way out of bounds. There were some "anomalies" that are consistent with high bp and migraines (more on that in a minute). Perplexed at what to do, my doctor is recommending making an appointment with a neurologist.
Today was the appointment with an ENT, whom I liked very much. We went over everything up to now and he looked at the MRI results. He did an exam, including numbing my nose so he could put a "camera" up there to look at my sinuses.
His opinion, after finding nothing wrong or out of the ordinary, is that I've had some kind of nerve damage to the "smelling nerves" in my sinus/nose cavity. Really nothing can be done and there's not way to treat it.
His opinion of the MRI results is that the "anomalies" are common for someone my age and with a history of high bp (controlled with meds) and migraines. He says he sees results like this all the time and it's not anything to be concerned about.
I already made an appointment with a neurologist recommended by my family doctor yesterday.
So I'm happy nothing is seriously wrong but will need to adjust to the idea this may never go away.

. I did the ENT doc, but he couldn't find anything. Along comes a root canal on one of my teeth, and, voila, no more smell in my nose.
