Odors no one else smells

[Patti1212]

I smell odors (bad smelling) that no one else smells.  I feel like I smell, my house and anything close to me, but no one else smells it.  What is happening?  This has been going on for several weeks.  It was weeks before I realized no one smelled it.


This discussion is related to I smell things no one else does.

I smell an oder several times a day, no one else smells it.  I feel like it is external but obviously it is in my nose, it is always the same smell.  At first I blamed my dogs for passing gas  but then I smelled it when I was in town and  many places where my dogs were far away.  This is unbelievable I am glad to know I am not the one.  Now we nee a cure.

I am a 53 year old man. I have full dentures top and bottom.so don't think it's to do with bad teeth as I don't have any left. im also getting this pungent smell, like rotten flesh or mould is how I would describe it,.its driving me mad, as no one near me can smell it..I've tried using tooth paste. Nasal sniffs.now I put aftershave under my nasal passage to try to clear it..but it won't go away. It clears after a few weeks then comes back. Been with me for one week again....what's the cure. I haven't been to the doctors about it yet. But that looks like the next step...been getting this for a few years now.

I, too, have had this phantom smell "disorder" for a few months and the only place I can find real information is at http://www.tasteandsmell.com/aug07.htm

The call it Cyclic Smell Distortions and claim that it is caused by brain seizures that do not effect the body's motor system, just the olfactory nerve which gives the sense of smell.
