Does pain make your b.o. different, worse?
I bathe the same, wear the same deodorant, eat the same foods, drink the same amount of water and perspire in the usual amount but I swear my b.o. is so strong after just a few hours when my back is acting up. Even my dog gave me a snort/sniff while we were snuggling.

I think it’s the stress and negative mood that pain causes me that does it, rather than the pain itself.
So our discomfort and crankiness changes our smell? I wonder you know, they say animals can smell fear and sickness but what about farking misery?~
I haven’t notice that myself, Neiz, but as for the dog? Yep! I have severe back pain, and when it’s rearing its ugly head, both of my Yorkies are glued to me for the day. =). Kinda nice…humans tend not to want to hear about it. LOL!
@Gingerlaurie: I noticed that. My little guy wants to be right where I am and he’s usually not clingy. Now, if had some healing powers…
…....then you would have to share those healing powers with others! Cough cough…me…cough cough. =)
Could it be that your smell isn’t changing when your back hurts, but your sense of smell?
A few years ago, I had a tooth removed, and for about 3 weeks I had a hyper-sensative sense of smell. I actually started tearing open walls to track down mold smells, that I thought just appeared.
@filmfann: Maybe but I’d think adjusting and trying to regulate body pain would dull my other senses. I’m totally paranoid here at work thinking I’m all ripe :(
Ahhhhh!! What an interesting point, filfann!! Never thought of that!! =)
