Exhaust smell
Hello, I'm new to all of this just not the symptoms and miss diagnoses I have yet to have a diagnosis at 55. My neuro is getting the last of the testing done. Brain Mri shows many lesions, lumbar puncture shows proteins high, having an mri on my neck and upper back in a few weeks and had the 3 different electric brain response tests done today.
That brings me to the smell. Had to drive two hrs for the testing, no problem. On the way home I kept smelling exhaust fumes. I assumed it was the large garbage truck in front of us until my sister said she didn't smell it and reminded me that a year and a half ago I had the same thing happen that lasted for about a month. I was living in another state and it drove me crazy. It made it difficult to catch a breath.
Does anyone else have this and could it be possible tha the test triggered it? I'm just went through an episode of stabbing pain in my head and face. The face I've had but not the head. Horrible electric shocks keeping me from falling to sleep, cramping in my right foot and calf, bee sting feelings in my legs,and on and on. I get out of bed just to go lay on the couch. Sorry there is so much as you know so I'll just leave it at the suffocating smell. Can anyone relate?

Good luck with the neck MRI and hope with all these tests your doctor figures out what's wrong. Please keep us posted.
