Everything stinks lately,

Literally..... On the bus, in our office, perfumes, cigarettes, shopping centres. I have always had a sharp sense of smell/taste, but never to this extent.

I have stopped smoking for around 6-7 months now - (I think) so it might be that.

Its...uncomfortable

You have been previously stinking up the place for others, so no sympathy here :D

You think Drew could be pregnant?

Of course that would also explain her mood swings lately.

possibly if drew is female and sexually active. Pregnancy does heighten the sense of smell
 
I'm male (As Shaun knows) sense of smell has been going a bit wonky for a week or 2 - had bronchitis recently - went on a pretty heavy dose of prednisone and antibiotics.

Been smelling lots of poop - literally - picked up a shopping basket n flung it away again - smells are generally coming across stronger now.
 
lol ... nevermind then.

Perhaps you have too much estrogen in your body. Testosterone breaks down into oestrogen, prenidsone affects this pathway however it only does it with chronic usage so its unlikely.

probably related to your stopping of smoking will take some time to normalise.

OR

you trimmed your nose hairs lol
