This probably TMI, but does anyone else have an earthy sweat smell?  I have noticed that when I sweat I have an very earthy smell about me.  No one else smells it, but I think I reek of it.  I guess in your own skin you notice it more.

Since my transplant, I have had much more noticeable BO.  It is awful.  I have switched to a clinical deodorant and it is working for now....

Since starting dialysis sometimes my husband smells "musty". Nothing bad but I do smell something. Don't know if I'm imagining this but I think it's more noticeable if I think we didn't remove enough fluid from him (and toxins). He can't tolerate scented bath/laundry soaps or scented fabric softeners (and neither can I) but I do add just a tad bit more soap to our wash and that seems to help. 

PS: And it isn't TMI. This is how we learn, cope and better our lives. Thank goodness we can find people on here who understand one another.
