Not bad today. tomorrow might be another story. I've only had one pill today.  And I've been settin' here at this computer alllll morning.  It really keeps my mind off of it all.  But the smell you experiencing might be something else.  I'm not sure. I just know what happens to me, and I hate that smell.  And the acheyness I'm feeling today is probably because I've been hunched over in this chair for so long.  lol.  I would love to take the dog for a walk, but it's still so cold outside. I keep looking at the thermometer outside waiting till it gets to 40 at least!  Walking the dog really helps me too!  She's so cute and I love watching her chase the leaves or the butterflies.  She's still a puppy and full of energy. Keeps me busy!

The only time i get that smell not taste is when i had a crack habit. Now i smell heroin every where. I'm back to day 3 today as i relapsed for a week. I posted that i had a 2 week dender it did feel like it though.
I'm so happy to be back on track now though.
But if my memory is right & it's often not is it pain med's your tapering of. I have you in my freaind's. I'm also tapering of methadone & vallium. As wee as coming of heroin. Everyone say's i should just go c/t but i no that is a tall order & i will be seting myself an unreal task
Take care nat xx

Hey...yes i am tapering..but this has been going on before i even started...strange ..oh well..i just thought that since i was on the cumputer i might through it out there and see if anyone else has had this...it actually in my body...not around me...one time a friend said she actually smelt it one time when she was with me....oh well..thanks for you post...i just brought it up , because last night it came back for a few hours...weird huh???...as many pills as i was taking , i wouldnt be surprised if it was the drugs!!!!....

Weird.  I get funny smells that I have always joked about a olfacory hallucinations.  Somebody suggested sinuses/post nasal drip.  Don't know what it has to do with and don't know that I can say exactly what smell it is but it annoys me to no end!!

[Imtired]

IF I remember correctly, you're tapering?  or have you quit?  I know when I'm wding I have a extremely sensetive nose. Plus I have this smell and/or taste that's awful.  I read someones post that it was the toxins working their way out.  Made sense to me.  So when I get that nasty smell or taste, I know the levels are working their way down.  I go brush my teeth, chew gum, etc.  Nothing tastes right, but it also keeps me from drinking so many diet sodas lol.  Hope this helps and I'm not just ramblin'.  lol
