While I have lost much of my sense of smell it has been replaced with a bad odor all the time. No one else seems to smell it but it is an overwhelming for me. Does this have anything to do with PD?

Good morning David πŸ‘‹
I have not had any issues with bad smells.. I seem to have a stronger sense of smell though. Who knows with everything we deal with each day. Maybe it's just a matter of when not if πŸ€”
Have a wonderful Wednesday and ...
Smile,
Donna 😁

Yes, that seems to be something PD patients do go through

I can not smell unless it is a wet dog, or men's cologne,,,,but I dare not cook anything
on the stove and go do something else because if it starts to burn I can not smell it. I lost my sense of smell when I had my gallbladder taken out and when I woke up I did not realize it immediately but I asked the doctor what did he snip to cause that...and it happened before i was diagnosed with PD.

My husband can't smell anything. He lost his sense of smell about 3 years ago. It does have an advantage when the dog let's her silent bomb off as he isn't affected, but if the house was on fire or there was a gas leak, he would be in terrible trouble.
