    Hi Maria, I can honestly say I haven’t “smelled” anything..

     Hearing “voices” is a different story🙂🙂

    I was in the shower and thought I smelled ammonia. It has only happened about three times.

    Yes, all the time for about 18 months.  Doctor treated me for a sinus infection, that wasn't it and gave me nasal sprays which helped for a short period of time.  I also used the neti spray bottle system - anything to get some relief.  It was driving me bonkers and of course I was convinced it was something dire.

    it still happens sometimes but has tapered off from constantly-annoying-destroying-my-concentration to a mild tingly sensation.
