Overview

Imagine As you read this book, I ask you to imagine a foul odor coming from your body, an odor that smells like urine, fish, garbage, bleach, feces, or a skunk. Soap and water cannot eliminate your body odor, and you live and work with it emanating from every pore. Now imagine going from doctor to doctor only to be told the smell doesn't exist. Imagine being clinically diagnosed as delusional while the people around you whisper, stare, or recoil. Imagine cycling through twenty or thirty jobs in just seven years because coworkers make cutting remarks you can't escape-remarks about an odor you can't control, yet medical professionals continue to insist it's ""all in your head."" If you can imagine this, you have just stepped into my HELL! The Foul Body Odor That Almost Killed Me is a candid and deeply personal memoir chronicling one woman's seven-year struggle to obtain proper medical care for the rare and incurable metabolic disorder Trimethylaminuria (TMAU). Plagued by a terrible body odor that was not only embarrassing but also made it difficult for her to maintain employment and provide for her children, Carry Wilson sought help from numerous physicians across various specialties. Despite clear indications-supported by her own research-many medical professionals repeatedly dismissed her concerns, assuming instead that she suffered from a psychiatric condition rather than a medical one.Desperate, isolated, and depressed, Carry was hospitalized several times due to suicidal identation a history that only made it even harder for her to secure quality medical attention.The Foul Body Odor That Almost Killed Me exposes systemic failures within the healthcare system while offering comfort and solidarity to readers facing similar invisible struggles. Carry's story is both troubling and inspiring: a testament to resilience, self-advocacy, and the ongoing fight to be heard.Although body-odor conditions like Trimethylaminuria cannot kill you directly, the despair caused by constant dismissal, stigma, and unanswered medical questions can push someone to the edge. Carry's memoir shines a light on this truth and encourages others to keep seeking help and hope.
