Im 30 years old and i have been sick for many many years and i still don't know what the problem is. It feels so hopeless, i have almost given up ever living a normal life.
One of the symptoms i have is bad body and urine odour.
I rarely notice any big smell when i pee but afterwards smelling the crotch area it smells beyond awful, like rotten fish or something.
A few years ago i did a Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) urine test, the doctors simply smell the urine test and decide.
First they told me that i had this disease but 2 weeks afterwards they changed their mind.
But the fact that they were so unsure is not a coincidence, my smell is caused by something in my body that also causes all my other symptoms (Mental problems, pale skin-colour, fatigue, dry hair and possibly bad breath). And just to be clear, i definitely don't have TMAU, those people smell alot worse then me.
I asked them to help me to find out why my urine smell so bad because this could be a very valuable clue to what disease i have. There is something in my urine that should not be there or there are high levels of something, i need to know what.
Just because i dont have TMAU doesn't mean i dont have a disease affecting my body odour.
But they basically told me that they dont know what to look for so they could not help me.
Is there anyone who has any suggestions on how i can find the cause to the bad smell?
Is there a lab or a doctor somewhere on the planet that can help?
Thanks alot for your help
