Strange odour?

Has anyone else started to smell since their diagnosis. I smell bad even though I am a clean person and shower. I imagine it's the muscle rotting/dying?

I have never heard of this and feel sure that it cannot be caused as you describe. Have you asked your GP or consultant about this? It may be a symptom of something else.

Hi I seem to be experiencing the same thing, I shower daily and have noticed recently my underarms are smelling more than before. I wonder if it is a result of changing body bacteria and or fungus resulting from lowered immune system.
