Smells! I've had smells so distinct that I have asked others

Smells so distinct that I have ask others "is the smell of propane" bothering you?
Several times riding in a diesel Pickup asked the owner if there was an exhaust leak? another time in a deasel PU ask the driver if they smelled diesel exhaust?
Other smells; automobile exhaust; cigerette smoke & a specific pipe smoker smell.

  1. Hi , thanks for reaching out. Yes, many of our members have shared that their sense of smell has changed. Take a look at these discussions; I hope this can help you: https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums/6months-multiple-tests-ms-like-symptoms and https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums/i-am-new-to-the-group-and-just-need-to-talk-to-others-who-understand.

  2. Hi, !

    I know other community members have shared their experience with phantom smells, but I just could not find those conversations (I think Jill Brodie may have had better luck digging up those comments).

    This experience of smelling scents that are not there (cigarette smoke, burning tires, coffee, etc) is not uncommon amongst our community members. And, I hope those folks that have experienced this phenomena see your comment and chime in here! I know it can make you feel like you are losing your mind!

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
