Phantom Smells

Tweet

Do you ever smell things that aren't there? I've been known to smell KFC in my family room when the restaurant is way over at the other end of town. Tonight I smell cigarette smoke. Not the actual smoke but the kind of left over smell that may be on someone clothing. A lot of times I get that smell stuck in my nose when I have a cold but I am not sick now. Then I got up and went into the kitchen and I could smell bacon. No one has cooked bacon in a few days so I don't think there would be any left over residue smell. When I went back to the family room I was back to smelling the cigarette smoking. No one in my house smokes though my husband is around people that smoke (and sometimes smokes himself), but he is not here. In fact, my Scentsy lamp is on so that is what I should be smelling. Does anyone else ever smell stuff that isn't there? Is this a fibro thing? People with fibromyalgia have heightened senses and I definitely have a heightened sense of smell but that is usually for stuff that actually exists. This is really bugging me. I think I'll go to bed and see what I smell up there.
