I dont know why but since i started on Hemo my sense of smell has started to change ! Perfume that ive worn for years , i cant stand the smell of , im now craving fresh lemony ones instead of florals. Some food smells off putting and i swear yesterday at dialysis i could smell blood , it made me feel sick :puke;

lol, it's very likely you smelled blood at dialysis. More than once I watched someone stand up and start dripping blood on the floor. Can't help you with the perfume; I dislike most of them now as they are way too heavy. I do remember when I was pregnant the smell of raw meat made me nauseous; maybe it was the blood thing. Hang in there. Hope things get better for you.

Very true, with me if i smell it don't like out comes everything I ate that day. A nurse helped me fix it though. When I feel nausea setting in from a smell she gave me alcohol wipes to smell and it settles my stomach down instantly.
-
would a bottle of vodka do the same thing? LOL, that would definitely make me throw up. I do understand about the smell changing though, mine definitely have, not for the better.

I thought i was going :urcrazy; as i havent noticed a smell of blood before , yeah its deffo like that raw meat thing. Wipes sound a good idea or something similar. :thumbup;

My sense of smell has deteriorated as I've grown older.
Maybe it's as well from the stories our nurse has been telling us.
By our nurse I'm talking about Nurse whatshername — can't remember, but her avatar says "Behave or I'll smack your bottie until you do"
Yes please! :rofl;
