The first time I had a phantom smell it was amonia and it lasted about 3 weeks.  My phantom smell is Raid?  Any ideas?

Curious what resulted in your raid phantom smells because im getting them for afew years and its smothering control of my world. Its raid, gas, glue, vapors from toxins come n go.  Summer humidity is destroyer months in NY. Its awaiting momentarily to me i just sit awaiting the luck of my phantom smells nightly now hoping for an easy night.
Can you tell me your final result as of now. My biopsy on polyps in nasal passage was cleared and surgery was done ENT specialist in NYC. Brain MRI Twice Cleared And still comes n goes along with bending down worsening or now latest episode migraines and sound sensitivity. Psych says schizophrenic psychotic meds i dont agree. Im an associate level mental health major and criteria isn't a match at all. MD claims its depression my brain blood tests say im depressed. I laugh i feel fine blood test say imbalance depressed.

I have several friends with phantosmia and/or parosmia.  They have told me that on occassion the last strong smell they were exposed to will be what they smell as their phantom smell.  So, have you used or been exposed to Raid recently?

I hope that helps.  You might want to research those two topics and see if you come up with more info.

If its a phantom smell with no real source for it........you need to visit a neurosurgeon for ruling out "Uncus Fits"...a smell related part of brain.Don't panic, just take an opinion.:)
