Its a combination of other tricks I used throughout the years:
1. Tilt your head backwards (a lot). Its recommended to lay down on a bed and then tilt the head back over the edge of the bed.
2. In this position, trickle a few drops of water into each nostril
3. If you did it correctly your nose/head will start to sting like crazy
4. When it starts to sting, instantly rotate your head into a forward tilt position and sneeze out the water. You will notice a very specific smell sensation while doing this.
5. Optional: After a couple seconds lay down sideways (must by sideways!) for a couple minutes and breath slowly. This step might increase the duration of the non-phantosmia period.
6. If the phantosmia seizure still is there: repeat these steps 2-3 times.
7. Tilt your head back up into its natural position / Stand up again.
I am no doctor, came up with this method myself and just started experimenting with it. So I don't know how good it will be long term, but so far it has been very effective.

Something very similar is used also for vertigo and tinnitus. But that one didnt help me. Ill have to check with my doc to help me with this. I need guided help when neck is in question. But ill surely check it out with him. Hope it helps you so you finally get rid of it...
I am very curious what your doc thinks about this method 🙂, let me know 😁.
Regarding the method for vertigo/tinnitus, did you mean the epley maneuver? It actually was one of the pieces that brought the inspiration for my new method 😅.
