Hi ladies can you please tell me if any of you are experiencing a very horrible smell in your nose? I have had this since February last year. I have had 2 courses of antibiotics and steroid spray. I am 53, still having periods and also experiencing the other horrendous feelings such as burning tongue, dizziness, constant fatigue, foggy head and memory problems. The only thing I don't have yet is the night sweats. I also get a burning feeling in my left ovary. Thanks for reading 😃

    I'm always smelling something funny, cigarette smoke, an ammonia like smell, and some that I can't really put my finger on.

    Yes! I think it has to do with sinuses, but it is yucky! It's almost like smelling garbage in a way. I get a host of symptoms, including the ones you listed, except mine is my right ovary that annoys me! Lol! You are not alone on this crazy ride!

    I had where I would smell something bad around the same time towards end of night - it was so weird. I haven't had in a long time though. Don't google it tho b/c then you will think something is really wrong. With all my symptoms coming on at once, I know it has to be another weird peri symptom. I've seen where smelling smoke is common. Mine wasn't smoke smell, just a bad smell. It never lasted long tho. So crazy. Ugh.
