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 have it too, and it's terrible. It gets worse when I have pain in my right palate and my molar gets loose. I understand these are symptoms of peridontal disease but I can't find anything linking peridontal disease to sinusitis. I took a full course of flagyl and the smell went away for about a month, but its has recently returned. It's as people describe; there's an intermittent strong odor of dead cat or similar rotting flesh smell. How can there be no permanent solution for this?

Had this awful sewer smell for bout 5mos seems like its alot stronger when I bend down so for,a while assuming that it was tge drains at work which is a bar/ resturant. Though lately it has been follow me home again I really noticable when I bemd down. I went to dr he said a I viral sinus infection and prescribed me some Clairtin I didnt get script right away so I was using a decongestant and my cabinet I believe it with sudafed
I finally picked up the prescription and it hasn't done anything the Sudafed seemed to work for the first couple hours his theory is that the inflammation and drainage of the sinus is what's causing the smell an infection it's been over a week and as I said the perscription he's prescribed it doesn't seem to work as well as the over the counter decongestant. I have spoken with a few of my friends in nursing and feel that it sounds more of a bacterial infection

For about 6 months I have had this terrible "dead" like smell happen in my right nostril every day around 10am to 11am then go away around 1pm.
I can almost set a watch by it. It is really bad. I was treated for Sinus Infection, but that did not help. It still happens every day. Sometimes a little sooner or a little later, but within the 10am to 11am window. The only change I can notice on my body is my back right Molar has gone from straight to almost sideways; and has turned black around the gum line. There is no pain. Any ideas on why it comes and goes on (A) almost schedule?

Hi, I don't have cats so I thought I smelled dog pee all over the house, until I noticed that the smell followed me to the car, the restaurant etc. It is very intense .At the same time while I enjoy my food it's like it,s spoils instantly in my mouth. I keep rinsing with Listerine constantly helps for awhile. While I have some medical conditions, such as MDS, the doctors do not seem to think it is related.
