About 4 months ago, I noticed an umbilical hernia as well as a strong body odor that has caused me a great amount of stress and virtually stopped my life. Once the putrid, musty odor started to surface, I became more depressed and obsessed with it. I now find it difficult to leave the house because of embarrassment and the humiliation I feel when around others. The only time I feel comfortable is when I lie on the couch with a blanket and watch tv.

I shower at least two times per day and about 5 minutes after I get out, I smell this odor all over my body. It becomes much stronger when I wear my shoes. I have noticed when I shower, my skin turns red and when I am done showering, my skin becomes dry and flakey. I have always had acne and large pimples on my back and occasionally get large pimples on my face and in my ears. I feel weak and am unable to lift weights like I was once able to. Usually, my feet and hands are cold and my head is warm. Sometimes my feet and hands even turn purple. Finally, when I lay on my back, I feel sinus pressure in the area of my right eye, my nose totally plugs up and in the upper, center part of my back I have a great deal of tightness and pain, it feels like I am laying on a small ball.

- What exactly is happening ?
My biggest problem is the body and foot odor when I go in public. It started when I was sitting in class about 4 months ago. It started as a very strong foot odor. It is a rancid heavy odor that lingers. At the time it happened my feet were very hot and wet. After this happened I tried using foot powder, spray, cream, and drysol, none of which worked for me. So I then started using chlorella, chlorophyll, as well as B complex vitamins, probiotics, zinc, flax oil and a multivitamin about 4 weeks ago as well as soaking my feet in black tea for one week. The smell has become less putrid but feet sill sweat profusely and odor is still noticeable.
The body odor started to be noticeable about 3 weeks after the foot odor. It does not smell like body odor but rather has a distinct smell and comes directly off the skin from all parts of the body. I smell it as soon as I get out of the shower and doesn’t go away. My armpits, hands and forehead sweat when I am in the presence of others or when I am nervous.
Next, the insomnia, headaches, sinus pressure, lack of energy, short-term memory loss, and acne started about a month after the initial foot odor:
Insomnia – for about 2 months I frequently wakes up during the middle of the night with no problem getting to sleep, now I cannot sleep without ambienCR. Also have a difficult time sleeping without masturbating first. I just toss and turn for hours.
Headaches – for about 2 months also, 2 different kinds of headaches, first in the middle front of my head that makes me tired, heavy and forgetful and happens during the middle of the day, next is a throbbing pain in both sides of the head and occurs occasionally.
Sinus pressure – for about 2 months also, when I lay on my back I feel pressure in my right eye region
Lack of energy – also for about 2 months, little interest or ability to do anything except lay down and watch tv. For the last couple of weeks this has gotten better and I have made myself go to the gym and exercise. I dropped out of school for this semester because of the odor and I don’t really do much all day long, which isn’t like me, usually I am active and on the move.
Short-term memory loss – it is very difficult for me to remember or concentrate on anything, very difficult time remembering even the names of my teachers
Major depression – I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 18 months ago and have been on Lamictal for that time and have been managing it well. I thought the foot odor may have been caused by the Lamictal so I stopped taking it about a month ago and have been in a depressive state since. I may restart it if I cannot find a homeopathic medicine that can help me soon. Without the Lamictal I feel hopeless and cannot envision a future.
