Q: Fantom smells and sensations and worried

I have been smelling this really foul smell since yesterday and it doesn't go away for longer than five minutes. The smell is pretty close to a harsh chemical. Really harsh. It make me feel sick. First I thought my daughter spilled something, but then I realized it was everywhere. First I washed clothes and bed sheets thinking it got dirty or something. I can smell it after bathing. I asked my husband to smell my hands thinking maybe I touched something. He said it smelled nice like lotion. When I put it to my face, it smelled horrible. I kept asking my husband if he can smell anything in the air and he said no. The same goes for the kids.

Here's a little background on me. I'm a 36 year old female with a history of migraines. I sometimes get allergies from grass and just junk in the air, but other than that I'm fine. Not taking any medications except for my migraine medication on as-needed basis.

Since this started, I have been getting some strange sensations. Like random parts of my body goes numb, but once I start moving it or rubbing it, the feeling comes back. At times, I feel ultra fatigued. It goes away, but just all these symptoms are freaking me out. My appointment with my doctor is in two days, but any info would put my mind at ease if it's nothing.
