Thanks, Nax. I am starting to wonder if there is a smell at all now. I was talking to someone, and she sits near me in class. Even when I thought there was a terrible smell, she says she smelled nothing at all. To be honest, whenever I have a face-to-face conversation with people about this, they all say that they have never detected a smell. Only when people are out of my sight do I hear things. So the question is, am I hallucinating smells and becoming so paranoid that I imagine people talking about me? Or was there really a smell initially, but it's gone now, and I continue to imagine it?

I looked up imaginary smells and came up with stuff like phantosmia and parosmia.

Doesn't that sound like the complaints we see here? I wonder if the NuvaRing caused parosmia for me. As the drug wears off, it's been tapering down. Many pregnant women imagine smells as well, so it really makes me wonder if there was a smell at all. So that brings another avenue of possibilities.

1. real smells caused by hormonal changes
2. real smells caused by TMAU
3. imaginary smells caused by depression or schizoprenia
4. imaginary smells caused by drug side effect
5. imaginary smells caused by brain tumor
6. imaginary smells caused by epilepsy

Now that I have gotten the courage to speak to a number of people about "my smell," I realize that each one that I speak to insists that there is no smell.

I kept thinking about TMAU, and I wonder if I could be a carrier since I used to eat eggs, meat, and fish without any problems before. I think it's best to see an endocrinologist and rule out TMAU and hormone levels before moving down to the possibility of imaginary smells. I am going to check with another person that took classes with me during the time that I thought that I had a terrible smell, and she what she says. Hopefully, she'll be honest.
