tmau- trimethylaminuria (i smell it now) and heres what I'm going to do about it.

Posted , 4 users are following.

hey 😃 , i have no clue how im still here. ive managed to get through one of the toughest months, december was such a horrible month,there were many reactions..EVERYWHERE and more than usual. I have had suicidal thoughts but the thought of my family being in pain breaks me. Ive decided to hold on just a little longer. Today i had a doctors appointment and my mom and sister had to be there because im not "18" yet to come alone,anyways she asked if i had any questions (and holy dang believe me prior to the visit i made a HUGE list of questions) but i coward out because i didnt want my mom to worry or get annoyed. Guys...I actually can smell the smell everyone is complaining about, it's hard to describe but it almost smells like brewed coffee?or burnt peanuts/poo. Now after crying for a while ive decided to stop being sad and actually do something about it. im going to purchase chloroply and i also heard castor oil works and i'll start making oregano tea along with a strict diet. so good bye to ice cream and the good stuff 😦 anyways i promise to update every 2 weeks so you guys can see what worked and what didnt. wish me luck ❤️

p.s i hope you guys had good holidays and if you feel like your losing hope feel free to message me, we can get through this together, this tmau condition should not stop us. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY and we will be okay guys.

tmau- trimethylaminuria ...(what it is) The smell is likened to fish, feces, and garbage, and excreted through the pores, sweat, urine, saliva, and even vaginal fluids of those affected.

    Hi milk,

    Good to hear from you again, you're a welcome sight. Glad that you're taking the bull by the horns and trying to limit and maybe even get rid of the smell(s). Step by step, maybe your body needs some time to get rid of the waste inside before you will be relieved. I hope to hear more from you (updates) and always here if you need to vent or anything.
