I have the worst type of bb and have come to the conclusion
I am female and in a way it's worse because ppl expect females to be more hygienic even when this is not a hygiene issue.
I used to be an alcoholic in my 20s. By my 30s I had severe acid reflux, even when I don't eat anything but dry toast I feel the acid come up into my mouth. This acid has made my teeth deteriorate and despite spending thousands on fillings I still have the problem because I also have sever allergies and pnd and the. 2 combined together are a deadly combination. I say deadly because what's the point in living when you don't have a social life & can't get one. I have been in abusive relationships just because I thought well at least he will have me. When we fought he would say no one else will have u and I know what he was referring to. The problem has become so bad that after losing my job to no fault of my own I now can't get hired, having been on several job interviews for which I was over qualified I was never offered a position intact I could see the interviewer trying to hold back and cover their nose. It's so humiliating I avoid it rather than keep trying and hope that one day I'm interviewed by someone who can't smell.
What is someone like me to do. No friends no job not much family close by, no bf unless I am willing to put up with being abused. I am still able to attract men because I am attractive on the outside but I can't keep them when they realize the smell is there every day.
If I didnt have this problem I would take life by the balls and be a great person. Because i do have it I am afraid to even open my mouth. It has destroyed all my relationships and my self esteem is gone. I have tried everything & no doctor gives a shit or even knows what the problem is. I can accept being alone forever but if I can't get hired (didn't have the problem 8 years ago when I got my last job) then how am I supposed to support myself.
It's a serious problem that needs to be addressed and when I have asked friends they don't want to tell me the truth.

Re: I have the worst type of bb and have come to the conclus
But back to you:
1. Get out of any abusive relationship. Do not be desperate for a partner, you will be taken advantage of.
2. If you are on your own without family or financial resources to fall back on, work like a dog to get some form of employment, preferably something that doesn't require face to face interaction with the public.
3. If you have family you can move in with, explain to them your situation and ask for their help. Find casual or temp work to contribute to their food budget as you can and then use the situation to find an interest that could lead to self employment- a hobby, collecting, eBay, crafts, etc. Become good at something that is fun and interesting and can bring some money in. This will help your sense of self-reliance and pride, which suffers terribly from our condition.
4. Discover that you have a mind and curiosity about the world and begin to love reading and self-education. Right now you hate yourself and you need to discover your hidden abilities that can help you overcome self-hatred. This doesn't have to be heavy "academic" stuff, just things that interest you- movies, art, travel, other cultures, anything that can get you started hanging out on Wikipedia following link after link. Once you find that you can entertain yourself while improving your mind without needing to become a party animal or the company of other people, you will begin to become a true citizen of the world living a relevant life dedicated to self-improvement. This is kind of a rare thing and will become a source of pride for you.
5. Never lose your sense of humor, your optimism, your love for humanity or your desire to make the world a better place. There are many of us suffering as you are all over the world, to the point that scientists are beginning to look more closely at the problem (particularly in Israel) and may be coming up with some answers in the short term.
6. Listen to Beethoven and Mozart every day.
Keep us informed about your life and how things are going. You have friends here.

from original poster
What would be great is if i could meet someone from this site who would straight out be honest with me and say yes you smell like shit/piss/vinegar and then maybe i can eliminate certain things. I had my tonsils lasered and this helped temporarily, but its my belief that the tissue grows back. As i am not working and do have temporary cobra coverage i should spend all my time visiting doctors until i find one that will help. But i am so low i don't want to deal with anybody. The few friends i have who are people i used to work with, i am kind of close with them, but we only speak by phone and they ask me why i would let myself be abused and i dont have the heart to say well i am not sure if you ever noticed but i stink like shit and its doubtful prince charming will want to rescue me anytime soon.
I think about s*****e all the time but at the same time i realize how ridiculous this may sound. My abuser knew i was suicidal but i never once had the guts to say its because i believe that i have a chronic bb problem. And being that he was abusing me he probably didnt want me to fix the issue because he would have lost all his power over me. There were a few times he would hold me very close and let me talk in his face which leads me to believe either he is a great actor or the smell was better on some days than others. People can often tell you its in your head but you know by the way people treat you, in stores etc. They rarely smile and try not to communicate with you beyond giving you your change. I considered visiting the clinic in SF but when i called them they were adamant the problem is only ever from the mouth and i know this is horse shit. The last day i didnt smell was about a year ago, i took zyrtek prevacid zantac another med for pnd (i forget the name) and xanax. I was able to go a full day without any odd glances. So i'm pretty sure my problem is pnd and reflux combined. as i mentioned my body builds a tolerance to the meds fast so the happiness is short lived. What i need is someone by my side 24 hours for a day for a couple of days who can tell me when the smell is at its worst so i can determine what causes it. Air travel is another issue that makes it worse, this is probably due to the air pressure in the cabin, it wreaks havoc on my sinuses and must lead to pnd which spreads bacteria all through the mouth and this can last for days. Other triggers i have noticed are not sleeping enough or sleeping too much. I have also tried therabreath, it worked for a few days and then i became immune to it. Brushing my teeth throughout the day makes it worse because the action of having a toothbrush at the back of my tongue is encouraging acid to rise up. Sometimes after brushing my teeth i have an insane sore throat, which is from the acid.
Anyway we could debate the issue forever but all of the people who have mocked me i really wish they could spend just a day in my shoes. If anyone feels like talking more but doesnt want to do it openly, feel free to pm me.
Thank you all for your concern and suggestions, its very much appreciated.

All we can do is to remain hopeful, that one day this curse will end. Stay strong and don't give up hope.
Myself, I have tried pretty much 90% of options out there. Now venturing to try laser treatment to kill bacteria biofilm on the tongue/ mouth. Hopefully good results, will provide feedback after.....
There are Better Dayz ahead, always got to keep that in mind.

Hey now, there must be a cure!! Every day people are discovering new things, latest news: bee venom may cure aids. There is hope all around just don't throw in the towel.For some people there may be no cure.
First thing to do is to stop drinking alcohol. Your body is damaged but not it's not damaged beyond repair. You can REPAIR your body.It's not about what you eat, it's about what you don't eat.
If you knew alcohol is giving you problems why continue drinking? I want you to do something for yourself, love and respect your body. Stop punishing it by eating junk, it's a temple not a rubbish bin.
Have you ever tried any ppi medications? I remember when I took Nexium years back, my bb was reduced to probably 15% but I had to stop taking it as I had severe side effects (I tried it again not long ago but it didn't have the same effect on my bb as it did previously.) I've also tried Zoton which improved my condition slightly, but I have now stopped it as I had to have various breath and blood tests and didn't want the meds to effect the test results
So give that a try and definitely see a specialist. But don't ever give up! And Good Luck!

Your story is certainly a terrible one, but here's my two cents worth.
It seems to me that your bad breath might be due to a combination of problems, but the first order of business should probably be addressing the acid reflux. I would suggest less alcohol and a mild drink like Chamomile tea, and easily digestible foods such as boiled or mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Try it for a couple of weeks and see if it reduces the acid reflux. Then maybe address the post nasal drip which is probably loading your throat with mucus. Don't take any medicine that dries out your mouth. Saliva is your friend.
dont beleive that dry mouth is the main problem for nobody, there is a lot of old people with it and dont have BB. But in our case the dry mouth increase the problem, and you can improve about 30% taking medicine for it.
Send me a PM and I will try to send you the pilocarpine, I dont know if its possible to send medication by mail, but I will try.
I dont think your BB is the worse, but maybe you are the worse suffer. Think there is people that know they have BB and dont worrie about it.
A little for you!!
