Is it common with Fibro to have smells that only you can smell? I can currently smell rotting eggs but as no ody else in the house can smell it and it's following me around I'm assuming either I smell like rotting eggs or it's a phantom smell. I can quite often smell cigarette smoke too.
I smell phantom smells and my nose is extremely sensitive to all smells. I often smell things that others do not. Most of the time I can find the smell but sometimes it's just a phantom 🤷🏽♀️
No it is not common , but it is called Phantasm. I started getting these smells ( cigarettes) and when I researched it they are finding that more fibro patients are experiencing phantom smells. Some say they can go away, but more research is needed
The cigarette smell has been going on the last year for me. In the last 2 weeks the smell has been making it very hard to breathe, along with chills, and intense pain. My bf made me aware that when I begin smelling them my symptoms are about to get worse. It’s been every night and today during the day and I fell asleep.
yep.. after all the research I have done, sounds like it is related to Fibro
You made me realize I at times have experienced phantom smells. As others around me would say “I don't smell anything”, mine would be cigarette or smoke smells. Have not had it in a while but I've experienced such.
