**Senses Interrupted: Living and Healing Through COVID, Anosmia, and Parosmia**

*By [Author Name]* When the world shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, many lost more than just their routines and sense of normalcy-some lost their senses entirely. In *Senses Interrupted*, [Author Name] shares a deeply personal and eye-opening journey through the sudden onset of anosmia (loss of smell) and parosmia (distorted smell), conditions that affected millions in the wake of COVID-19. What begins as a mild case of the virus spirals into a long and disorienting battle with invisible symptoms that many struggle to understand-or even believe. Part memoir, part guide, this book explores the emotional toll, social isolation, and psychological impact of living in a world stripped of its sensory richness. From the trauma of losing the smell of coffee or the scent of a loved one, to the bizarre and often revolting distortions that replace them, *Senses Interrupted* is a testament to resilience, adaptation, and the slow path toward healing. With honesty, humor, and hope, [Author Name] illuminates an often-overlooked consequence of the pandemic and offers support, research insights, and coping strategies for anyone navigating the strange new world of altered senses. A must-read for survivors, caregivers, and anyone curious about the untold side effects of COVID-19.
