Hi Deprest this is Jackie again, I also agree with you about keeping yourself clean and fresh. Ive had this embarrassing condition all my life and just recently found out I have TMAU.You can take a "hundred" showers a day and be squeaky clean....and you will at times smell like high heaven. We are missing a vital component in our bodies. This component, which I forgot the name of is listed when you look up the site concerning TMAU. Anyway, this vital component is what stops the strong odors from coming thru our breath and skin or pores....Sometimes the odor can be so strong that others can smell you from across a room!....the typical hand over the nose, a glaring look, the backing away from you or cutting the conversation short as well as other dead giveaways let you know that people can smell you. Deprest what gives me peace and contentment with myself is a close relationship with God and a lot of prayer. I learned from an examination from the Bible that terrible chronic conditions like ours will a things of past one day soon......Isaiah 33:24.....that verse keeps me focused on the real important things in life. It gives me a hope for the future. Until then I keep myself busy with doing volunteer work that helps other deal with the "critical times" we are living in. Remember Deprest GOD promises to be there for those of us who are crushed at heart and bowed low because of this terrible condition call TRIMETHYLAMINURIA. Isaiah 41:10,13...
