The last few weeks I've been smelling what seems like a dirty ashtray, or cigarette smoke. (I don't smoke) I researched it and found several things. One of them was it could possible be from GERD. I know several people with fibro suffer from stomach issues including myself. Has anyone else smelled things that at aren't there?

@A MyFibroTeam Member, no I do not live in an apartment. We have lived in this house for over 26 years and I've never smelled this smell before. I do feel better knowing I'm not the only one this is happening too.
I've never been diagnosed for migraines but I do get really bad headaches. That's when I first noticed it, but I haven't had a headache like that in a while but still smell the dirty ashtray smell randomly????
@A MyFibroTeam Member I have never been diagnosed with sjogrens but I have read about it and often wondered if I have it.
Wow, I have driven myself crazy looking for something burning in my house. I am glad to hear it isn't just me. I have had a lot of sinus problems (two surgeries) for about 20 years, if I get a sinus infection my new ENT will give me a nasal spray containing a antibiotic, it works a lot better for me then the oral antibiotic.
I just woke up and also smelt smoke for a few seconds and found this site when I looked into it. Was actually relieved to see other people with fibro get it as the alternative cause was much more scary!
