I have the same story as many of you. I can't believe I actually found this site; I can't believe there are people who have experienced what I have. I started having the problem of fecal
Body Odor (sometimes urine or fish) in the seventh grade when I first found out by someone in my class yelling hurtful things about me(I could not smell it myself). It's been about 8 years now, and I still can't figure out where it's coming from. I as well have been to doctors who claim to smell nothing. I think from all the messages that I have read, it is coming from my skin. I agree with one of the messages, Pooman has some great posts. Because of what I have read on this site, I have begun to do an intestinal/liver/kidney cleansing. I have ordered Champex, and some probiotics. I looked up Bromhidrosis and it makes sense because it starts at puberty, however, the problem is not really a sweaty
Body Odor and what I read suggests it comes from the armpit. I need guidance with all of this because I am young and trying this based on what I am reading and the little bit of research I have done. Another thing that I wanted to address was whether anyone was having the same psychological problems as I am. This really consumes me. I spend a lot of time showering 2 or 3 times a day. I bathe with baking soda, put antiperspirant spray all over my body, wear a lot of perfume. In the 8 years of experiencing this, I have learned to "have eyes at the back of my head". I listen very carefully to everything that's going on so I can figure out what people are doing by the sounds that I hear. I have mastered the use of peripheral vision. I have developped the ability to analyze body language in a matter of seconds. Someone could say just about anything and I could find some way to link it to an insulting comment to me. I have come to the realization that this problem has created an obsessive-compulsive disorder and am not afraid to admit it. Recently, I have gotten the courage to individually ask my friends what odor came from me. Two said nothing (they are serious Christians and would not lie), one said it didn't bother them but never told me what it was, my mother also said nothing. Yet still, at work, there are the loud mouths who always complain, I have heard mention of the manure odor, and I can read my friends' body language. Has anyone else experienced these confusing situations as well? (I am afraid it is Schizophrenia yet I have the same experience as so many people here).
