I know exactly what you are going through. I am 38 and this just started happening to me this year. People use to tell me how good I smell. Now all I hear Is how bad I smell. One day I overheard my co-workers making fun of me saying I stink. Then when I try to confront them about it they said we was talking about something else. Then all of a sudden my co-workers started coughing and sneezing everytime they come near me. Then my mom, sister and girlfriend say they don't smell anything. I know it's not in my head because regular people I don't know start coughing and sneezing when they come near me. I had to quit my job because I couldn't take coworkers making fun of me everyday. I tried to get a job somewhere else but during the interview they had this weird look on there face like I smell like something dead. So now I have no job and I don't leave the house because every where I go people cough and sneeze at me. I take medication now for anxiety attack.
Hi ive been trying ciprinol which is found in coconut oil pills and it seems to be working . Like the other girl mentioned it might be this thing called candida . Anything with ciprinol try to take it and inform your doctore you think it might be candida . Try your best to take tea that helps with detoxification. And take a bath in epsom salt . It works. Know try to clean all you clothes to remove any lingering smell once you read what candida is youll understand why you sometimes cant smell it . Dont wear any perfume at all specially if you smole my best bet is use a cream that has light odor thats it no more than that . Good luck please let me know your progress and i want to give you my email so we can keep in touch is always good to have a friend through this especially when you feel like your going crazy
Hi my name is jean pierre im a 22 years old i al from france and i have the same issue as you.in the "metro" and the bus i start being unconfortable and start sweating because of people's reaction if anyone touch his nose or sneeze i say tomyself its because if me and in class its the same thing.
I am a sweaty guy so i take 2 showers every day one in the morning and one when i go back home and i use déodorant and body wash and perfum but i still being paranoid and unconfy when sitting near some body.
But i think the best thing to do is to go to someone you know and esk him if you smell.personaly i did it i asked 3 friends and they said they only smell perfum and i yave a girlfriend who i sleep next to every night and she doesnt smell anything in my opinion so for me i think it only paranoïa and i feel your pain because sometimes i get so angry and i just wanna leave class and go home.
anyway i suggest you ask someone you knw if you have an odor thats what would solve your problems.
I was going through the same thing in school and if I had a chance to go back in time I would have done homeschool or alternative schooling, while I figured out what was the problem, which I still haven't found but I eat healthy and exercise which I would say has lessen to a degree, To be blunt it's not going to be easy unless you figure out whats causing the bo. So be in control of your life rather than it being in control of you.
I went through the same thing. I don't smell anything but other apparently others do. Like I commented on neena2001, I would have done home schooling or alternative school, while I figured what was going on with my bo, which I still haven't figured out. I would say exercise and eat healthy is a start. Stay positive and take a wake or jogg daily to clear your mind.
I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I used to live a normal life months ago. It all started around the end of May/Beginning of June of this year (2015) for me. I went back and did a timeline of when I first noticed these symptoms and I can't point my finger to what caused it. However, I used to take a lot of illegal drugs ranging from X, to shrooms, and drank heavily. Now add stress and a lack of a good diet. It all stems from the gut. I honestly think it may be due to either a hormonal issue or fungal issue. There is a possibility that it could be one of those rare disorders such as TMAU but I'm confused as to whether you could get it anytime in life or if you have to have it from the moment that you were born. In my case, I think it may be a severe internal fungal problem.
I too have been suffering so much. My social life has gone downhill. I avoid social situations. I don't know how i muster up the courage to go to work. I work at a retail store (Banana Republic) and deal with so many reactions form people. Sniffing is the #1 reaction I receive. Then there's coughing, clearing throat, and nose touching. Sometimes when I'm done taking a shower, I can smell this weird smell coming from inside my nose that I can never shake off. At work, I can smell it slightly but the reactions from others tell me that they can smell it far more. I ask my mom and siblings and friends and they say that they don't smell anything, but yet they sniff their lives away. This is tearing me apart. Like some, i've thought about suicide but that would be selfish and if I was living a normal life before then there has to be a solution. I have gone to several docs and they say they can't smell anything but yet they sniff in front of me. My bloodwork is fine everything seems to be functioning olay (liver, pancreas,etc). So now I'm going to a naturopathic doctor to see if they can help me out. Are there any other symptoms that you have noticed? Candida may be the culprit here, just a thought. I'll keep you posted and hang in there. We will all be cured.
I think you are right. Candida is such an underrated health topic to talk about. Most doctors don't want to hear it. Seek out a naturopathic doctor that's what I'm planning on doing. Hope all is well.
Trust me I know what you are going through. I'm 22 about to turn 23 and I'm probably going to have to spend my birthday indoors this year due to my problem We're in our 20's, we're supposed to be living life going out and instead we're stuck with this unfortunate situation. I totally get it.
Please i want share my experience with you as well because i am passing through the same problem exactly how you just explain yourself, but the only difference is that am a man you are a woman.
please reply me if you are still on the site all any other person could help.
Ask your GP to test you for H pylori. I have been passing through same smelling problem for many years now, until early this year i asked my GP to test me for H pylori which came out positive and that was after mush research done online to figure out what was wrong with me. another problem now is to cure the bacteria called H pylori because gave me antibiotics but did not work for me but it does working for some people. i am still fighting to cure the H pylori with natural herb.
Will do. Right now I'm on the strict candida diet, taking natural antifungals, and probiotics. Some days I smell okay but others I smell soooo bad. I'm hanging in there until January 20th that's when I see the naturopathic doctor. I will keep you posted and will share all the info and things I've tried in order to help out.
