unscented products (Hair & Scalp Odor Problem)

posted by SBayGirl, 17.03.2008, 12:59

I have been noticing other changes with my body. I notice that I produce a lot of sweat from my scalp, and my hair absorbs it. When I was on the NuvaRing, my body did not produce much sweat or oil. Now that my body is beginning to revert back to its normal state, I'm producing more sweat and oils. My hair is starting to become less dry. It is actually shiny like it used to be. What a dramatic change. My skin is moisturized instead of dry. My sex drive is actually coming back.

I am now convinced it was hormonal. The smells were definitely coming from my sweat. I suspect that the NuvaRing dried out my body so that any scented shampoo, soap, or body lotion was absorbed internally, metabolized, and then came out of my sweat or oils via the pores. My scent has now changed from the weird masculine cologne scent to a sickly sweet smell--the ketoacidosis smell that I complained about previously. It's not as strong as it was when I first noticed my problem. I am losing weight since the synthetic hormone is now almost out of my system. The first month that I was on the NuvaRing, I immediately gained 10 lbs. I gained a total of 15 lbs. I have now lost 10 lbs so far. I hope that by another two months I will be able to say that the smell is finally gone and that I'm back to my original weight.

I will check with my regular doctor to see if I am a carrier for TMAU (only one gene as opposed to both genes for TMAU), and ask for an appointment with an endocrinologist if the smell continues. I'm waiting on my appointment with my GYN to report my weird condition on this NuvaRing. I doubt that he will believe my story, but we'll see. I'll keep up on my reports in case others have a case similar to mine.
