Title: Unusual smells
Post by: Smokey on April 16, 2013, 09:05:32 PM
Hi

I haven't been on for a bit but I seem suddenly to get  weired smells every now and then, is this a meno thing ?

Does anyone else get them?

Yep.  I used to think that I smelt 'whiffy' but DH didn't notice.  It does go away  ;)

Must be hormonal as when I was pregnant I became obsessed with odd smells that mysteriously went away when the baby was born.

Thanks for your replys

My smells have been the smell you get after just putting out a candle it's not often I get it just every cople of weeks or so,  but didn't think anything of it until I smelt it again last night but did remember seeing something on TV where someone had a really bad smell followed by a seizure or fit and it did get me thinking and as I have MS and silent migraine maybe it could be linked to either of them. Any thoughts?

No no cold or sinus problems fatigue on and off due to my MS and since meno I have all sorts of weired feelings I never seem to have two days the same, some days I just don't feel well, but can't exactly pin point what it is or why.

I also have silent migraine, am sensitive to most lights in supermarkets and at work,after a while I just can't think straight and unless I really concentrate on my shopping list I miss most of my shopping. I usually shop on line and have it delivered but today I felt like going myself for a change.

I am on HRT and have been for over a year now.
