Thats interesting you asked about the musky smell a few weeks ago that smell hit me in at least four different location. All of a sudden it was there. I was tbinking it might be part of PD.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member hello Judith. Is your dad on the right track? Do you eat fresh vegetables and fruits? Nuts, figs, prunes, apricots and drink plenty of water? You might want to discuss this with your doctor. But in the meantime get some essential oil's and sprinkle it on your pillows. Lavender is a good one to get. Let us know what the doctor says about you. Best wishes. Sterling
Lucas what a very interesting bit of information not usually seen. I imagine those experiencing this topic is relieved . Thank you for all the info you provide for us all.

Judith, this article was posted on the UCLA Health website. I hope it is useful and informative.
Parkinson’s disease, a disorder of the central nervous system. In addition to interfering with walking, balance and coordination, Parkinson’s causes increased secretion of sebum, which is produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands. It’s an oily, waxy substance with an odor that can be detected by people with a hyper-sensitive sense of smell -- a nurse in Scotland is among them. Six years before her husband’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease, she noticed his body odor had changed. She later detected the same musky odor coming from members of his Parkinson’s support group.
