What do you mean with condition 😅? I am in the pre-starving condition.
I met many good doctors throughout the 10 years. But they haven't been good enough to help me out of this misery.
Discussion
Sorry, by condition I mean illness/diagnosis.
Phantosmia ☺️
Is that an illness by itself? When I search for it, I see phantosmia listed as a symptom. For example Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS) seems to cause seizures and phantosmia. The same for Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) -- links below. [I'm hoping this can be helpful to you, but let me know if you prefer not to chat about this]

Well illness vs symptom is an interesting discussion, e.g. is cancer an illness or is it just a symptom of a broken society?
That said, so far no doctor was able to diagnose an illness that is causing my phantosmia.
Thank you for the hint regarding BMS 🙏!
True, illness vs. symptom is not always clear, but the key to a cure is finding the root cause and looking for a treatment that will remove or decrease that root cause.
Apparently acid reflux is one thing that can cause BMS, many people have acid reflux without knowing it.
