Haunted by phantom smells?

[25kilopumpkin]

Just got a whiff of monster munch from the baby, could smell stale tea when pregs in living room, and was too embarassed to mention to dh but could smell rum n raisin ice cream on the stairs earlier... No one else can smell them so am I the only one with smell-lucinations?

Do get it checked out as it can be a sign of a brain tumour.

lookbutdonttouch in my old (haunted) house, I sometimes could smell a horrible, rotten, dirty smell at the top of the stairs. I'm very perseptive and knew it was something unpleasant from a past age.

Oh marvelous, a brain tumor, just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse.

Realistically I have suffered with severe migraines for years and genuinely appreciate the concern and advice

But could you break it to me a bit more gently next time please. Thanks again (DH is on the floor in hysterics btw)

I sometimes smell insulin really strongly. The only reason i know what this smells like is that my mum was diabetic and me and my sister used to find her injections fascinating and you could smell the insulin when she put it in the needle. No idea why i am assuming its a different smell that i somehow get confused with insulin or just my imagination.

Don't understand your sarcasm? I know its not a nice thing to say to someone, but I'd rather bring your attention to it than leave you ignorant.

My dad had these smells and he was referred for an mri.

Dirtydishes Insulin stinks and has a very individual smell!

I get olfactory hallucinations as well- when DD was born, I was very ill, and used to smell toffee, oranges, coffee and blood/metal all the time. It was so weird.

Now I just get a really weird distorted sense of smell just before a monster migraine.

Loopylou, I am sorry babe, genuinely really do appreciAte it, just trying to see brighter side, absolutely not trying to offend. thank you for trying to help, I really do mean that.

think its a smell like burning rubber that hints at brain tumour so you prob ok op

I used to smell jasmin when I soaked in the bath in one of the many flats I've lived in. I like the smell. But not so much when I found out one of the former tenants had committed suicide in that bathtub and was fond of jasmin oil.

I've never been able to use it since.

sansa

I just went off that scent completely after that! :o
