I emit a burning, smoky odor, like a wood stove's smoke. It is noticeable to others, (as opposed to the olfactory problems I see on the site, where people keep smelling smoke but no one else smells it.) People keep asking what is burning, and if there's a wood stove or fireplace burning, and my clothing holds the odor when I take them off. The smell comes and goes throughout the day, usually occurring at least twice a day, and lasting for several hours. It has been happening for nearly a month, though I don't emit the smell on some days.
I have an EGD scheduled, but couldn't get in until next month, as referred by my Internist.
My internist never heard of this before.
I had a history of GERD, but it hasn't bothered me except occasionally since several years, and I take an occasional (every 2 mos. on average) over the counter Prilosec PRN.
Has anyone ever heard of this? I am increasingly concerned and frightened.
