Tecfidera: sinuses & sensitive to odour

Hi, My sinuses have been playing up since November - had to take antibiotics in December for a week. I also noticed that I got more sensitive to odours especially aerosols like deodorant or perfume. Anyone else on Tecfidera notice this? I’ve been taking it for just over 1 year...

I’m super sensitive to smells now that I can’t even spray a perfume on me even just once. I’m not on Tecfidera though, I used to be, but only for a short time. I started becoming sensitive to smells shortly after being diagnosed.

@stephz , I'm tempted to suggest that the problem relates back to the sinus situation in November, rather than the Tecfidera that you started a year ago. Here's some details about this type of general problem :- https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lost-or-changed-sense-smell/
