Does anosmia go away?
So I have been anosmic since I had a concussion at the age of 3. I had a brain scan done when I was a child and they told me that the nerves are dead. Recently(in the last 2 years or so) I have started to experience something like what I think smelling is like(it feels like I am tasting strong odors with my nose is the best way I can describe it) and I was wondering if it is possible that my sense of smell could be coming back or is it just some miswiring in my brain? I really don't want to be able to smell again as it hurts and adds more complexity to human interaction.

Obviously, it depends on the cause of the anosmia. The plasticity of the brain might mean some neural adaptation has taken place.
