Hi Nathan.

Well my mom was actually dx with Schizophrenia, so I'm sure there differences to consider with that.

Yes, she smelled things that weren't there either, like gas coming from the furnace. I remember her opening all the windows and doors in the house as she was sure there was gas leaking. None of us smelled anything.

I am dx with Multiple Sclerosis, which does effect our brain processing too. I smell weird things all the time; dirty diapers, smoke, sewage, chemicals. My kids don't smell it, so I know it isn't real. Many people with MS have this occurence.

I don't like to give advice on something that I don't know enough about, but I might suggest that you do not let this worry you too much. I know that is easier said then done, but for me personally, I try to just laugh it off when it occurs. As long as you know it's NOT real . . .
