It Stinks, Olfactory Hallucinations?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Mesa, AZ

I know a lot of us have olfactory hallucinations. The most common I hear about is the smell of cigarette smoke. Now I've had olfactory hallucinations of something far less pleasant, dirty diapers.

Yes I know I do have lots of grandkids, but no dirty diapers in the house for a long time. My question is does anyone who have olfactory hallucinations smell something good?

I sometimes have a delayed scent hours after I have smelled something (& not been able to smell it).
So I always take a big whiff of my favorite flowers. It is fun to smell them later

Hi to all of the above,
My hub has had no sense of smell for a very long time. Am tot's not sure it is related to P.D. or not. But could be. Oh well, at least he is not smelling dirty diapers. Hope you all are having a good day. Hot here in Vancouver today. Take care, BFN! β€οΈπŸ€—πŸ˜Šβ˜€οΈπŸ˜Ž

I have no sense of smell for at least five years now. I thought it was from Covid, but it never went away.
My taste buds are off also

Arthur, and Apple festival sounds fantastic. Give me a hot apple pie and a scoop of ice cream any day
