Which are the symptoms of Anosmia?
Symptoms of Anosmia reported by real patients, from the most common to the most limiting, plus a medically reviewed summary with sources.
Not being able to smell food, and "ambient" scents in the air, which affects the enjoyment of food, and limits sensual experiences and memories evoked by the sense of smell.

Not having a sense of smell means depending on others for that sense. Knowing if the food in the refrigerator is still good. Or having to buy electric heaters in the winter because your apartment uses gas.

Not being able to smell my children is the worst. Not being able to smell myself can cause anxiety. My sense of taste isn't great so I've eaten spoiled food and gotten sick, so that was pretty sucky too.

The worst symptom is the only symptom: an inability to smell. This is problematic if there is smoke, a gas leak, when food has gone bad, and in some allergies (not being able to detect the allergen until it's too late).

There are no symptoms unfortunately for CA. You learn yourself usually that something isn't right compared to other children you're own age.

Can't tell when there is a gas leak, or if we are eating spoiled food.

No smell
High pain tolerance
Social anxiety
General anxiety
Depression
Infertility
If I could eliminate any symptoms it would be all of thrm, but if I had to make a choice I could comfortably live with no smell and high pain tolerance.

Inability to smell and limited taste

Anosmia technically has no symptoms but is a symptom in itself, the definition is the inability to detect odours.

Loss of sense of smell.
Because of the loss of smell, my taste is also affected. I can't taste the flavors of things, other than salty, sweet, and sour.
I crave eating salty crunchy things.
A family member has to taste the food when I'm preparing it, to see if it needs more salt, sugar, spices, etc.
Difficulty smelling smoke.

Loss of smell, or changes in the way some things smell for example lack of odor.

The main symptom is not feeling any kind of smell, this condition can be congenital or acquired, with the passing of years, or in a crash where you hit your head.
In the majority of anosmicos the palate is also affected, it can be a palate restricted or in more serious cases to have no taste.
