nose
Has anyone ever smelt this when you blow your nose it smells are taste like your bowels.its really bad.i just woner if it has anything to do with my liver damage
I saw another article in the newspaper today about doing the "salt water snuff." It is great with people who have sinus problems...better than anti-biotics, I think!
Take a warm cup of water...1/2t. of salt water (non-iodized)
Put your nose in it and breathin...filling up you sinus area.
The salt is mildly drying and kills bacteria. You will feel great afterwards...especially if you have been fighting a sinus infection. It is yucky to do, but works.

You might possibly have a serious sinus infection. Several years ago I suffered the same thing (however, I do not have Hep C) It was like constantly smelling the back of a garbage truck left out in 100 degree weather. I went to my doc who had me take a sinus scan and lo an behold, my sinuses were impacted. I wasn't having any other symptoms for a sinus infection (i.e. no congestion or even a runny nose, no sinus pressure and no headaches). I was put on antibiotics and after about 3 weeks it went away. I would suggest you ask your doctor for a sinus scan.
I apologize if it seemed as though I was laughing at you, and meant no offense or to appear insensitive.
This disease is serious ****.
It was just that as I read some of the responses, the focus veered away from your initial post, and something just struck me as funny. Certainly not your condition or question.
This is supposed to be a support forum, and I would not have gone through treatment as easily without it and most of the kind people at this forum. I did to laugh at myself during some trying situations, others laughed along with, and that is just my nature.
There are alot of serious discussions, and some people do bring a bit of levity to a totally ****** up situation. (Excluse the English, please.
The timing may not have been the best, since you are new here, so please excuse me for that.
All the best in your battle with this disease, and come back again!

Well I am not even on TX yet and I have the smells. I smell that dead thing all the time, and I am not telling ya all where it's at. I also reportedly have awful bad breath, I usually don't notice this part myself tho. The strange thing is that the neighbor's 6 year old daughter has the exact same bad breath (like a cat box minus the ammonia almost) The only commonality I can find is that we both have terrible allergies.

Jeff.....I can't believe you really said that. Or is my imagination getiing the best of me O:)
Higgins......I have 13 more shots to go(not counting the neup.).... of 48. Although my sense of smell seems to be keener, I have not experienced (yet) the smell that you describe. Good luck on this round of treatment and please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. There are many people here that have alot to offer in the way of info and friendship. Welcome, take care, Kim.berlynn
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!! Thanks for the laughter......I think that I just earned at least a few more hours...if not days of life from all the endorphins :)

hey there, you know after reading mikesimons post it occured to me that maybe this is something you should run by your doctor ASAP....i would pray that you are not experiencing something even remotely similar as to what mike has endured...but always better safe than sorry....best best of luck
I can only understand too well if you are totally put out by all of us today. Some days on the treatment just make you crazy and your posting when I read it...I honestly thought Oh my..I pray that this is not a symptom of liver disease and truly I have never heard of it so don't think so. But on the other hand,,,I guess everyone is thinking..oh please not one more side that we have to deal with so we are giggling like school kids when actually you are very worried and totally understandbly. This would probably be a very good question for our GIPA if she checks in today because I think she could help us out here. Please don't give up on all of us just yet and if anything you will learn that you can also come here to make light of even the toughest things God hands us. Take Care!
I was on treatment with peg & rebo combo for 48 weeks - Towards the end of my treatment I too smelled odd smells - like something dying/ At first I checked my house over and over - then one day i was in my car and realized the smell was coming frm me... I did a little research and realized every time I blew my nose or turned my head - I smelled something bad..I even went as far as to think it was coming from outside.. It was deffinitly me... sooo, (AHIGGING50) YOU ARE NOT ALONE..Unfortuntely I did not clear the virus and expect to go back on treatment (again) wish you all lots of luck, this is deffintly a **** shoot
I have never heard about nor experienced this feature of liver disease. That doen't mean it's not related but having already been transplanted I'd think I would have had it or heard about it. The only odor related feature that I experienced was the smell of blood when I would bleed internally. If I burped I would smell this smell and know it was time to go to the hospital. It's a disgusting copper like smell that once experienced is hard to forget. Mike
I have 7 more weeks of tx. the last 3 months have been awful. I smell everything. I have days when it seems like the tx is coming out of my eyes, nose & mouth. the only way i can describe it is like when you see the gassy looking haze on the road on a hot day.... feels like the meds are coming out like that. It drives me nuts.I can smell every bad oder around and it seems like no one else can smell it....Its probably my own breath....lol. Hoe you find out that it is just a side of tx and nothing else.
oh please please forgive me/us just sometimes these symptoms and side effects HAVE to have a 'slightly funny, humourous twist' to them or we'd all go completely mad i'm sure....
first, again i am sorry that it's your second time around this dance and that you are a candidate for transplant
as for legitimately answering your question.....well....NOTHING would surprise me...it could very well be attributed to your liver, the intense smell....i do know, that my sense of smell is extremely hyper-sensitive since going on the meds....and thus....some of the humourous stuff!...so very sorry to have made you feel as though your question was not serious...i apoligise.

Please understand that it was not your comment that was funny. I beleive that anything revolting can happen on these drugs and a lot of it is happening to me.
BUT, some of the responses WERE so funny; and it is the first time I have laughed out loud in a LONG time, so you funny folks out there, thanks.
