Cant Smell - nerve damage from cocaine

[nervedamage]

I was wondering if anyone in this world would be able to offer any suggestions to me. I lost my sense of smell due to cocaine use. It's like im missing a layer of skin in my nose now. No holes in my septum.  I have been to a few doctors who informed me I have nerve damage in the nerves responsible for smell. Life is so terrible without smell. Does anyone have any suggestions or referrals available ? I contacted the Cleveland Clinic and they referred me to some "study" in Dresden Germany.  Certainly somewhere in America there has to be a doctor or team of doctors who can assist me with regaining any smell. Input would be appreciated.

do u still do cocoaine?  and i am not sure about any therapies to restore smell//sometimes//often nerves regenerate..and i am not sure of ur extent of damage...and ENT could help more with this..and there r new procedures cropping up everyday..good luck with it

i had an ENT work on my nose due to coke.  go for a consultation.  however, unless you quit, you will just undo what he/she did for you.  make sure you are finished with it.
