I have schizophrenia also, if it makes you feel any better
We'll I know what you are going through. I thought Jay Leno was talking about me on the T.V. and that I had a special relationship with Conan O'Brien. I don't know why I picked late night comedy shows to be apart of my delusions, maybe because through it all I had a sense of humor. I also had suicide attempts and the like. I got paranoid and etc. I had a son that I gave up for adoption. Well thank you for your courage to speak out and God Bless.
love,
Jessica

I feel you, hallucinations are much to handle
I also deal, but what the hell is reality anyway?

I would say that yes, the phantom smells you experience are caused by MS. I wasn't able to find anything definitive online, other than that MS can cause “Impaired sense of taste and smell”. I admit I didn’t look for too too long, but I’d feel pretty safe in saying that’s what causes it. Isn’t it a weird sensation?

If it's any consolation, I smell things that aren't there too...usually smoke, elecrical burning smell, cigarette smoke, etc. Sometimes a nice smell though. Not sure why...must be some brain thing connected to MS.

Oh!
And how often? Usually once or twice a week.

Olfactory hallucinations are very uncommon, so I guess I just got lucky =P. I generally smell some rotten, like garbage or on that oh so wonderful occasion dog crap. However it's not always something so gross, one day I smelled syrup in my office for the entire day. I had three people come in to make sure it really was just me. While syrup isn't a gross smell or anything, it can certainly drive you mad when you smell it for 8 hours.

Interesting...
What sort of things do you smell that aren't really there? Just curious, as I've never read or heard examples of what people may smell. How often does that happen?
