Does this sound like TMAU/FBO?
-musky, sour, or weirdly sweet smell, clothes smell bad when I’m wearing them but smell fine afterwards, including underwear. Doesn’t smell like fish or feces
-smell seems to come from my groin, which has always been sweaty, can’t smell it in armpits, sweaty hands, breath, or piss
-extremely noticeable and strong smell throughout the work day, usually goes away by the time I’m home, it was acting up during Thanksgiving but my family told me they didn’t smell anything (my mom would kick me out of her house if I smelled bad). Over New Years when I was on vacation it didn’t smell at all except when I got off the plane a tiny bit
-going on for two months
-I’ve had recurring diarrhea most of the year, my dad has IBD, my brother also had stomach issues this year
-nobody has remarked on it, it’s my fourth month on my job and I’m really worried this will stop me from being friends with my coworkers
-I’m on multiple psych meds: mirtazapine, lithium, lamotragine, gabapentin, also daily tadalafil for a sexual health issue
-doesn’t respond to increased hygiene including full body deodorant
What the hell is going on? I stopped by urgent care and they didn’t see any signs of fungus or infection and couldn’t smell anything, I have OCD but the way the smell behaves and lingers is too complex for me to make up in my head. I suspect it’s not TMAU because I eat seafood sometimes and it doesn’t seem to make a difference, like I had a ton of seafood when I was on vacation in Boston but I was free of odor the whole trip
