For the past few days I've been experiencing a sensation of smelling blood as if it's inside my nose and tasting it at the same time.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this? It's driving me crazy..really unpleasant!!

No, never have. If you are concerned/worried why don't you have this checked out by your hematologist, that's what they are for. Hope all is well!

Cottermi Now that you mention this here, I recall that being a sensation I felt from time to time. Along with smelling blood/kind of tasting it, I would get a sensation similar to when you get water in your nose. It is very uncomfortable and although at first I noticed a correlation with this feeling and experiencing a crash, it ultimately does not always mean that, at least for me. I’m going to ask my hematologist about it though and see if he has any insight!
