unscented products (Hair & Scalp Odor Problem)

posted by SBayGirl, 02.04.2008, 23:53

The smell came back today. I overheard someone saying, "She smells like trash." It really does sound like TMAU from the comments that I hear. I did get a whiff every once in a while, but most of the time, I didn't smell it. Why can others smell it, but not me? When I did smell it, it did smell a bit like how trash can smell. I smelled faint notes of banana or something fruity.
I felt very discouraged, considering the day before I overheard someone say, "The smell is gone!" What happened was, today was the 1st day of my period.

I know that metabolism is tied into the menstrual cycle in some way. Sometimes I'm constipated during my period. Other times, I have diarrhea...which is why I'm still pondering over why this NuvaRing seems to cause me to smell when I did not have problems before. I am encouraged in that the smell doesn't seem to travel around the room like it did before when it was at its worst. I saw people holding their noses when I was at my worst. Now the smell seems to cling closer to me rather than diffusing around the room. It's no longer like a gas that I'm emitting, but I definitely have an odor from my sweat. When I don't eat, it's a sweet odor that I emit.

I think I'm going to have to go back to my doctor for an appointment for an endocrinologist. I suspect that it will go away once my period is over if I am reacting to the synthetic hormones, but I am tired of just waiting it out. I'm going into 7 months since stopping the use of NR, but the side effect continues on. :-(
