Well, I went into the hospital on Monday morning and they started to desenseitize me to asprin around 1. They had to start with 3 grams of asprin (I would react to 1/4 of a baby asprin...so we needed to go real slow at first). Last evening we ended with 650 grams. I had no reaction to any of it...so it worked! Now I have to take an asprin everyday to maintain the desensitization. Today for the first time in 6 years I started to regain my sense of smell. And what, you ask, was the first smell....the cat's dirty, litterbox, quickly followed by the lovely smell of garbage (as I was dragging the bins down to the sidewalk), the my daughter's "accident" in her panties. Yes, and I wanted to regain my smell...what was I thinking :)
No, I'm really thrilled that it seems to be working. So hopefully, once I get a good night's sleep, I'll be feeling "normal" again.
Thank you all, for your good wishes and prayers. I LOVE the power of prayer. I know lots of friends and family, and my MOPs group were praying for me. And I felt it, it really made a difference.

WOW! I'm so glad it worked. That had to be somewhat scary.
That's marvellous!
Ofcourse it wasn't the best to have those smells enter life first, it makes you appreciate the roses. LOL!
Thanks for participating in the august give-away. What a pity you didn't win.
But the september issue is up, so that's another chance.
Feel welcome to join.
