Phantom smell

Morning guys. Ok so every now and then I have this smell that only I can smell. No amount of showers or perfume I use it’s still there.

This morning this smell woke me up. The only way I can describe it is. It smells like burning moth balls!!

Please tell me I’m not alone!

Hi tabey. That’s a great help cos now I know I’m not going crazy 😝!

I have had pretty bad headaches the last few days along with pressure in my head. Sometimes across my nose. I do get blocked nose every day and have to use a spray! I don’t sneeze either! Not had a sneeze in 8 years!

Thanks again x
