COMMUNITY

Join the community – now run by ckos

Living with smell loss, whether from illness, injury, or an unknown cause, can feel incredibly isolating. The experience is so often misunderstood by those around us, and it can be hard to know where to turn for support, information, or simply someone who gets it.

That’s why community matters so much. Connecting with others who truly understand what you’re going through can make a real difference, not just emotionally, but practically. The AbScent Facebook groups are now run by Chrissi at ckos, and are home to thousands of people navigating the same challenges, sharing experiences, asking questions, and cheering each other on.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, months into your journey, or supporting someone you love, there’s a place for you here.
