6:10 AM 		Disturbing new symptom - anybody out there with similar exp?

Experienced perception of very pungent sharp odors - 3 or 4 very distinct ones - on and off over /'cycling' one to the next ~ an hour last night. Nothing in the room or house (including me...) that could account for it and only I could percieve it.

Best as I can figure it is as an olfactory/smell hallucination....byproduct/phenomena of brain cell damage in the PD process. There is a known association of diminished ability to sense odors with PD. Diapers don't scare me...but this was really disturbing.

1:40 PM 		I get on/off electrical type burning smells- have had them so frequently now that husband ignores me when I tell him to search the house for what's on fire. Interesting on the chemical smell thing too- recently I had a vivid flowery type smell and it's dead of winter here- not a flower anywhere and I was walking into work so I couldn't say it was someone's dryer air from their fabric softner sheets ... where'd it come from? ha!
