i really dont do this threads much but i ran out of all things to do.for the last 7 years i developed a body odor i have not been born with that is really strong.i been to docters and they tell me they dont smell anything i even asked 1 or 2 people about it and they tell me they don't smell anything either,but anytime im around people they seem to smell something it's so stong it seem that people can smell it in the whole room.i wash 2 times a day i never wear anything more than twice before washing it and i tried every deoderant and i get no changed.this made me so depressed i turned to drugs just to function and do things in my everyday life sometimes im thinking if im losing my mind because it just makes no sense with everything i tried.i looked up online about problems like these and i read a thread about somebody who had a problem who was simliar to mine to the point he ended up in a mental clinic he mention people breathing out heavy,sneezing,coughing and rubing their nose.I tried dealing with this problem and even accept it to the point i ignore people but this is something i was not born with and can't just happen out of nowhere.i wonder if it is a mental thing and it's all in my mind cuz the
2nd docter i went to made me seem like i was crazy but i know i am not the only one with these problems.So anybody who has the same problem like me and know how to fix it or even what it is please leave a message i dont want to spend the rest of my life like this or if not leave a message cuz i really need to speak to people with my similar issue cuz im feeling all alone with this problem and need some kind of support to help with deal with this thanks for any help you can offer
 
Welcome to the boards, Nonchalant!

Sorry to hear about your problems, including your problem with doctors!!

I'm not quite sure exactly what your odor problem is...whether you are the only one smelling the odor...or if the odor is sporadic, but two things come to mind.

If only you are smelling the odor, it may be connected to a vitamin deficiency...keep in mind that lab tests do not accurately reflect some of these deficiencies. I think it was a magnesium deficiency that made people's sense of smell more acute.

Secondly, if other people are smelling the smell also, it may be due to "fish odor syndrome" ----I forget the medical term for this condition. I saw a program on tv about this several years ago and if I remember corrrectly, it can be inherited and it has to do with the way the body breaks down foods...

Hope this helps!
