i feel for you and i can relate to u too, i am now 19 and the smell began when i was 19, but i dont know if i can live with this disorder for 16 years as u have, apparently its a disease called trymin something, but im not sure, i think it may have something to do with anxiety, as for the facts u've given i can match with every single one, and it is also more potent after a bowelmovement..lets hope this gets resolved so we can enjoy life again, i've found frequent showers and srubbing with a soap and wash cloth help but i dont have time to have 3 showers a day, please post back if u have any other info, thanks..it seems there are many who do suffer from this problem maybe doctors will open theres eyes to it if more and more people come forward. anyways stay up
