I notice that several of you seem to be smelling things that others do not smell. My husband did the same thing early in the disease. He smelled smoke and fire and I spent many nights searching for that smell. He also smelled something odd on his skin while I did not. It was several years later that we first read about olfactory hallucinations. Do not let the word hallucination frighten you this is just another of Parkinson's little difficulties and harmless at that. We have a friend who for years smelled chocolate and accused his wife of hiding it from him!!! I have tried to find a reference to this in one of my Parkinson's books but so far have not. I assure you that you are not alone in this experience. If you go to a support group mention it and probably others there have the same experience or talk to your Parkinson's movement disorder--believe me they have heard of it. Hope this helps Jackie wife of PWP of nearly 20 years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
