Anyone else here with Phantosmia?

For me, it's phantom cigarette smoke. It's more pungent some times than others even though I haven't lived with smokers since I was 18. But moldy humidifiers or moldy anything give me terrible runny sinuses.

That is the MOST commonly reported smell on the Phantosmia discussion group

Brains are weird places to live...

Definitely consider sinus or gingival infection if it comes back.

Food grade essential oils should be diluted: 10 drops in 15 ml of a "carrier" oil (like EVOO that comes in glass bottles, not plastic or metal). Then you can safely use a clean finger to dab it on skin (under the nose) or on the tongue.

I had oil misters and febreeze and everything I could find.
But the damp, moldy smell outppwered them.

It's coming from inside your head...

No point running away, I suppose. Do the people working on your spine/legs know about this? It is a neurologic symptom...
