Bad Smell

I think I am going nuts, but I have had this once before.
I smell something bad coming from my body. I take two
baths and I am a clean freak, so it can't be that I am not
clean. Anybody else experience this?

" You too? I swear, I find myself taking two showers a day, reapplying deodorant about 8x's a day, and have developed a greasy face. I'm thinking, "do I have that ole lady funk now?' Geez,I take zince which always had actually prevented me from that Jimboy's Taco armpit smell...tho I LOVE Jimboys. But the last few months, I feel like a pigpen and I'm a clean freak. And lets not even go downto the fire bhelow. I thought I should bhe drying up and reaching for that KY. jelly bhy now. Feels like my hboo hoo has a continuous cold! I dont have an infection weither. I have become what I dread to refer to as "The Smelly One". I dont know if anyone notices...like they'd tell me. ha. BHut I try to stay downwind! Hon, its hormones, pure and simple. "

" thanks for your post Sawyer. I am glad to hear that I am not alone although sorry to hear we can relate. lol It is enough to drive you nuts. I have an odor coming from down below too. I know that when your menopausal that you are more susceptible to yeast infections which I do treat. But this is a different smell. One I have never smelled before. oh my gosh, this is embarrassing.

" I hear you ladies... I don't need KY I need panty liners. That sucks. However it may not be only be the wonky hormone smell, it may also be your sense of smell has intensified. Mine has and I hate it.

I have had to modify so much so that I don't be sick from smells and don't even think about putting perfum on in a car with me.

Anyway something to think about. "

" Sawyer, that last comment was hilarious!!! Ok, I too,.....stink down there. And sometimes my pits will do some onion-y thing. At first I cried about all these damn changes, (or was that the hormones, too?!)now I just laugh and vent to the walls in my bathroom..And the pantyliners...yeah we need em but when you get tired of buying them(or can't afford em) and you just go without, you're left with a stain tha ruins your undies and you have to toss em! So now on top of all the other meno joys - I'm leaking acid, right?! "
