This is a really odd phenomenon.
Has our nose changed?
(I think those who are married, can ask their spouses) that may be best.

Maybe the meds have changed our ph?

Maybe the disease has changed something?

What?

I think that, if one is "used to our own personal scent", then smelling ourselves doesn't work.
But, after my second accident, my rsd changed, for the worst! I was ABLE to "smell myself".

(Funny this "Smell Yourself" comment reminds me of the first Hannibal Lechter Movie, Directed by Michael Mann, called "ManHunter". It's the prelude to "Silence of the Lambs") before they ripped it off, and called it "Red Dragon".... Good Movie, if you like that sort of thing, one of the best.

Anyway, I think our own scent glands get "used" to ourselves. Then rsd changes this, and we can sometimes repulse ourselves!
Ugh!
Yes, we must shower / bath often, which can be painful. I used to enjoy it. I'm sure ya'll know what I mean. I built my home with a whirlpool and a wonderful shower afterwards. Aqua therapy!

Powders, anti perspirants, pills, whatever, all can be used.

It seems to me, that it's just another thing to add to the ever growing list of "Inconveniences" that we are forced to live with and endure.

You all know I'm going through a divorce, and, that will be it.
I have no further hope or dream of living with any person again, ever.
And, I love people, is what makes it sad.
I don't want to be alone.
Oh well. a story for another time....

love to all!
