Phantom cigarette smells
I have had that same phantom cigarette smoke smell haunting me for about a year...it is every few weeks and only lasts about 3 to 5 minutes. It is so strong that it makes me cough..feels like smoke is filling my lungs and I can't breathe....
I found this thread as I was checking into it....what else have you found out about it in your search?

Tragically he passed away.....I believe he died of spontaneous human combustion while watching his beloved Blue Jays constantly lose to the Yankees...
It was too much for him....it sad because he was a nice considering he's from Canada.
Although he is not here we keep his name on in spirit, every now and then a member will post something with his screen name....I believe Danny81 will be the next one posting.
I think I have narrowed my symptoms down to Seasonal allergies and lack of sleep, both were present each time I noticed the symptoms.
I can smell when women are on their period. They have another smell when they are not. Sometimes there is no smell. Older women have the no smell. It's odd, I know. In fact I kind of don't like it.
That's actually good.....most women are horny before and after their period.
Much like when dogs are in heat...
Wait...are you saying that smell Iain is smelling is his period?
If he had olefactory hallucinations and olefactory delusions ( a condition in which you persistently believe that the smell and its source exist, even though they do not.) he might be schizophrenic but otherwise the most common cause of olefactory hallucinations is still a temporal lobe seizure. It's interesting ian says he gets them when sleep deprived since sleep deprivation lowers the threshold for seizures.
did you get a sleep deprived eeg? The sensitivity of a regular EEG is about 50% ( which means it misses seizures almost fifty percent of the time) and the sensitivity increases to 80-90% if you get a sleep deprived one.

Thank god...
...I have found someone else that is having this issue. I thought I was having going nuts or something. I would complain to my roommate about the neighbors smoking outside, and now realize that there wasn't anyone out there smoking. It gets so bad at times, my eyes burn, and my throat feels dry and scratchy like I am in a room full of cigarette smokers.
I have had some problems lately with my sinuses being hyperactive, but not to the point of sickness, or having to go to the doctor. I have also had some problems with sleep as of late, some nights without any sleep what so ever.
I am hoping that it is either from my sinus problems of late, or just that I am so blasted tired. I will keep you posted on the development, and if I find anything out from my doctor.

That sounds very much like what is going on here too..I just need to get better sleep, and maybe something for my allergies.
You still get it?
Looking at the dates it looks seasonal.
Yeah that was part of my original thoughts...... but I have pretty much narrowed it down to sleep deprivation.
I sometimes think I smell bacon/country ham cooking before I get a migraine.Sounds crazy huh? When this happens I have about an hour to take meds to try & prevent it. Have been to the doctor and still can't figure out the cause of the migraines other than stress.
I just smell butt when Min0 is around....odd.

Iain, have you had the sleep deprived EEG? Bandaidwoman is right about the sensitivity of those things (as though you needed me to tell you that but i just want to second it). There are a great many tests that aren't 100% accurate/precise (hell none are really) but its the best we have so we go with them.
As far as migraines go, we still don't really know what causes them. Its very individual. A diary can help you sort out whats what. There are many advances happening right now in terms of migraine treatments and we are discovering lots of interesting etiologies now (they were thought to be vascular in nature, but now they say it is a problem with nerve signaling/ion flow through the membranes aka channelopathy).

I really appreciate the forums I have been on for smoke smell and I have tried many of the things people posted to see if it would help for me no luck. I have been smelling smoke for over a year now and I have documented the days that are worse along with the MANY specialist I have gone to. I have had brain scan, MRI, xrays of the back and neck gone to allergist, Eye Ear and Nose specialist, Neurologist, MD?s, Endocrinologist, and blood test after blood test. The Neurologist was interesting after more than $1,000.00 of test he determined I was having simple seizures. After many seizure meds it did not help, not one bit. Then I went to another well known Neurologist he said no way I do not have simple seizures. I don?t believe it is stress either because I have a wonderful life. OK BINGO two weeks ago I took sudefed for my sever drippy nose guess what smoke smell gone. After a week I went off sudefed guess what yes smoke smell. I am back on sudefed no smell or at least just a little bit of smoke smell. I don?t want to stay on sudefed all my life, I don?t like the way if makes me feel. Yet I would rather feel this way than have the smoke smell and what I call the dumb down feeling that goes with it. I now feel responsible to post on the forms that helped me the most. I am determined to heal completely somehow.
