Title: I can smell gone off milk when others cant
Post by: Mummytron on April 17, 2019, 06:01:40 PM

Please tell me this is hormonal as its driving me mad! For the last few weeks I've been able to smell gone off milk when no one else can. Its mild and comes and goes but Google said a brain tumour and now I'm panicking! I've had so many weird symptoms during peri I cant keep up.

Hi mummytron,

Do you by chance get migraines?  I smell weird things before and attack.   :)

HORMONES - keep off Dr Google ;-)

I smell.  No one else notices because I ask them.  But I can smell a whiff ............

Some drugs can cause 'off'.  But when I was on the contraceptive Pill I could smell garbage.  It wasn't until I had stopped that I realised  ::)

I do get migraines but I've had it on and off for a few weeks so not sure if it's that.

I smell things others can't too.
I think it's hormones, why, I don't know, but I've had this for a couple years now.
I get migraines as well, so maybe a connection somewhere.....
Don't google, it will drive you insane....
Keep blowing your nose and see if it goes away, when I had sinusitis, the smell I had was like rotten cabbage, just awful, but was the infection, obviously. Xx

Stop googling mummytron. It will just make you more anxious. Get some Sterimar spray for allergies and Hayfever from a well known chemist beginning with B. It is a large can and will last for ages. You can also use it as often as you like as it is natural
