I was in your position at an office and know the hell you are going through.
But the thing is to never give up hope and keep on searching for answers and
ways to improve your situation. Be aware that what you focus on you attract
more of, so if you dwell on the negatives you'll end up spending your days
absorbed in them and feeling worse.

Be aware that you are much more than just your physical body and that
your unhappy thoughts can create an unhappy unbalanced state in your
body.

Ask youself honestly whether you are completely happy with where you are
going in your job etc and if not how you can make changes? For me my
BO got worse the more I hated my job and hated being stuck there I
was like a trapped animal.

On the practical level have you tried saunas and steam rooms for really
deep cleaning the pores as well as good for relaxing?

I have also found Mdela's suggestion of using Olay's Ph neutral
Acne wash works so well under the arms I dont use a deodorant now.
I found soap made me smell worse as it reacted strangely with my
skin after a few hours. Hey why have countless showers with soap
if they dont improve the situation?

I also use Iodine tincture under my arms at night to help kill off the
bacteria every so often.

Anyway good luck for now and continue the search which may
help turn around your situation.

hey..how are u doing?...i read your post and it almost made me cry because its explains exactly whats going on with me....I'm in college and its my 4th year...I've been dealing with this odor problem for 5 years now. It all begin a year after i graduated from high school when i was working for 2 years to save money for college.. When the odor problem began i didn't know what the source was and was confused cause my own family say they don't smell any odor. I went to a few doctors who told me that it was all in my head and that they didn't smell anything either and just told me to eat more fiber in my diet..The whole thing has been so puzzling to me because i am a neat freak who is particular about hygiene..I take 2 showers a day and i eat very healthy, don't smoke or drink and exercise occasionally. I was suppose to start my freshman year at college after spending 2 years working after high school and almost didn't go to school because of this problem...I want to find out what was wrong and it get a solution for the odor problem before starting college but my family thought i was insane and that it was all in my head so they pushed me to go so i did..I started freshman year and it was an extremely painful year..I don't think i have cried that much in my life as i did that year..I was extremly lonely, 4 hours away from home...All i did was go to class and back to my room.. I never did anything on the weekend because i didn't want to deal with the embarassement and harassment i got about my odor...People were rude and mean to me..I'd get laughed at, gossip about and no one would sit next to me or make eye contact with me.I had 2 friends but even at times they would shy away from hanging out with me or been seen with me..I almost committed suicide that year but didn't have the heart to do it....I was relieved when the school year ended..when my sophmore year started i decided to try to be more outgoing despite my odor and for some wierd reason my odor wasn't as strong as it had been the year before..so much changed that year people started to notice me more, i made alot of friends,so many people were drawn to me and a ton of the guys wanted to date me and i even got a boyfriend..because the odor was still there though not so strong i felt self conscious that whole year..when junior year started....my odor slowly became strong again and then misery started again,my boyfriend and i broke up, people started avoiding me, talking, laughing, avoiding..etc..I made it through that year without killing myself but my self esteem and reputation have been completely destroyed... my current senior year began with dread because i didn't know how i was going to survive another year of college...this year so far has been a nightmare...i am completely invincible, no one talks to me, says hi, wants to sit by me,..etc..i've been talked about, laughed at and my reputation is ruined because i go to a small college, i can't even go anywhere in town without someone recognizing me, pointing and them laughing....I am the girl that is considered one the prettiest girls on campus who should be out on weekends but yet no guy will look at me and i spend all my weekends alone in my apartment...what kind of life is this....i might as well be dead..earlier this year i met a guy thorugh a friend who i found out liked me and i liked him as well but now he won't even talk to me because people talked talked to him.....This odor problem has ruined my life and all the dreams i had for myself...I've done some much research, seen alot of doctors who have said its all in my head and tried healthy Diet changes but the odor is still there..i sometimes feel like i am cursed...right now i'm doing another colon cleansing...My odor seems to get worse now when i get extremely nervous...it seems that now the sight of people approching me makes me nervous....so right now my last hope is doing this colon cleansing again and seeing a new doctor one last time next week....If i get no solution from it,....i am comtemplating suicide because i just can't bare this anymore, 5 years of living in shame isolating myself from people and not being able to enjoy life is too much..I feel already dead inside....so to anoyone who reads this and is going through the same thing i totally understand your pain.

Hi Nemi01,

I wish I had a magic wand to help your odor go away so you can feel free to live your life just being yourself without this obstacle. All I can do is be a listening ear, give you the same advise I’ve posted to many people on this forum, and let you know that you can always talk to people here who are compassionate, understanding, and supportive. If it is of help to you, you might want to click on my username (noted after each of my postings), and scroll through some of the suggestions I’ve written on various ways to try to control Body Odor . You can do that of the various users that have also written suggestions. There is a wealth of information there that has helped some people.

Not all Body Odor s are caused by the same reason, some are metabolic in nature, like TMAU and other liver-enzyme deficiencies that don’t break down protein well. These can be significantly controlled by diet and periodic intestinal cleansing. Other’s could be a result of infections that maybe doctor’s can’t seem to detect. Don’t give up. Try one regimen at a time, so that by seeing which works for you, you might be able to determine the cause of your problem.

Keep in touch and let us know how you’re doing.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who responded to my post and for all your support. I feel a whole lot better. That somebody out there understands me and I'm not giving up at all. I know I will and I can overcome this. Plus another thing I learned too that not everybody feels I smell bad and some that do know they don't judge me for it ever. There are still good people out there who except and love me for the way I am unconditionally. So I will enjoy my beautiful life and accomplish my goals dreams despite this odor problem. Because everybody in the world has flaws nobody's perfect. My flaw happens to be an odor that clings to me. But that's okay because I will overcome this and I have faith. I made an appointment to the doctor about a metabollic disorder called TMAU Trimethylaminuria or aka Fish Malydor Syndrome. I done some research on it and I might have this. So I'll keep posted to let everyone know. And my advice to all those who responded to my post. Please do not give up at all, be ashame or hide. Because there is an answer for everything and everybody in the world has flaws. But there are people out there who love us for who we are unconditionally despite our odor problems. So enjoy your beautiful lives, accomplish your goals and dreams despite your odor problems. Because we all are beautiful inside out. Always keep your heads up, be good to yourselves always and love yourself no matter what and most of all stay positive and have faith. Thank You Again (Smiling).
