Can History Of Thyroid Surgery Cause Increased Sense Of Smell?

i had thyroid surgery last august, and I was wondering since the ablation my sense of smell has been heightened. We moved into a condo where the lingering smell of curry is making me sick. Everyone else in the family says it isn't that bad, What causes this?
