Any possible solutions??

I'm wonder if I'm alone in this? I've been experiencing a smell coming from my nose for about 2yrs now. It seems like over time it worsens..I could walk in a place and people would cough or place a hand by their nose. It's been complete nightmare in my life, I've confined myself away from friends and family. and the worse part of it all I can't smell anything. my sense of smell is super sensitivity meaning smelling something from a distance. I've seen a gastroenterologist twice..I've had xrays of my stomach completed..nothing found, I don't have any symptons of reflux or bloating. everytime I speak with him he makes me feel like im crazy or its all in my head. recently took CT sinus scans for my ENT doctor he stated its nothing he can see on the scans but confirmed the smell from my nose. just to add I floss regularly and my hygiene is excellent. my primary physician also stated she doesn't smell anything at all when recently visited her. I've talk to people close in my life and asked if a odor is present all say no. my ENT doctor even stated my condition is uncommom which makes me feel there's no hope. plus I work in a office setting and deal with the worse reactions from people on a daily basis. I personally feel my job is going to fired me real soon. any suggestions from people who've gone through or experiencing what I'm going through now..any advice will help so much.

This happened to a child of a friend of mine.  The mother could smell something coming from the child's nose.  She took him to the nose dr and he checked and he had something lodged in his nose.  She said when they took it out, the smell filled the whole room, it was that bad.  Now I'm not saying this is your problem but just something to consider.  Another thing, could it be your breath and not your nose.  My son has really bad breath. My daughter and I tell him this but he said we are the only 2 who notice this.  His wife and friend tell him that they don't smell anything.  I can't believe they cannot. My daughter told me one night that another friend of his told him right in front of my daughter that his breath was bad, so we are not imagining it.  Could it be perspiration ?  Hope this all helps.
