like your breath? if so you can take a little peppermint oil and put just on the tip of your tongue, works wonders.

I had this when I took meds. Mine was more like the smell of mold. It went away when I quit taking meds. I was on alot of meds at one time and I think that was the reason for me.

No, I've never had that issue, even when in chemotherapy......

odd smells can be a sign of infection, next time he smells it, have him "check" you to see where it's coming from. if it's your breath, have your mouth and stomach looked at, armpits could mean something different, if it's uro-genital, then see a "girl doctor", skin- dermatologist, and so forth.

some medications do cause body odor, sweating, etc. eg Topamax. Any drug with a sulphur component may also cause odor.
Our bodies do react differently but it isnt uncommon either.

If you can find out where it's coming from, do (and if he can be more specific in what he smells, that would help too).

In any case, bring it up at your next doctor and dentist's visit. An odor can be clincally significant and can be the sign of an infection, reaction to medication, etc. even if all of your labs are normal. Don't be embarassed; this falls under the better safe than sorry rule. Besides, when you get the all clear, now you'll know just to use a little peppermint oil for some fresh breath (after your dentist rules out dental problems too).

I'm having a problem with my breath right now because of my stomach being a mess. I brush 3 times a day followed with listerine and it still doesn't help. Are you having any tummy upsets lately?

When I get my B12 shot I smell in my "private area" guaifenesin also causes me to smell there and my urine has the same smell.smell. The shot only last a few days the other the more water I drink the less noticeable it is.

I think the odor comes on when I sweat. It's not a breath thing. I've been taking more vitamins and herbs lately, that's what I thought it was at first. I had my DH smell them but he says that's not it. ( ??? ) I thought for sure it was coming from milk thistle, something new I added to my daily vitamin regimin to stay on top of liver function due to pain Rx.

I remember reading about the "stale beer" smell and that suggests diabetes, but like I said, I had a blood work up including blood sugar and it came back normal. Also I know that your skin can act sort of like "a third kidney" so to speak to help clean out toxins. I work in a sports bar and grill and I'm told that our "regulars" have a not so pleasant odor coming from them. ( suggesting that the over consumption of alcohol is coming out of their pores ) Which leads me to believe that my "odor" is from being on pain Rx a long time. ( about 1 year or so ) OR, maybe it's from eating WAY too many sweets! LOL!

Having anosmia makes me feel very nervous about possibly smelling bad, so I am a very hygiene conscious person. I'm afraid that this new "odor thing" is going to kick it into OCD mode!!

I will surely bring this up with one of my doctors. Thank you all for your input, I greatly appreciate it!

Stay gold!
