Honestly, I should of posted about this a long time ago, but sometimes I really dislike going on these forums because it makes me have to think about my condition.
But I thought I would tell you guys what worked for me. No my odour is not cured. But this is the only thing that helped me get back into uni, finish my degree and get a full time job.

So, if you are seriously struggling (especially with university, school), I personally suggest you go to your doctor or shrink and ask for a prescription of lorazapam (might have a diff name in your country).
This was prescribed to me, along with a whole lot of other anti-depressents that did not do anything, since they didn't alter my odour in anyway, and it wasn't "all in my head".
But lorazapam is an anti-anxiety drug. It seriously stops my odour when i take it. When I am in social situations, I am scared of the odour coming out, which causes anxiety, which in turn makes me perspire all over my body, or at least brings out the smell somehow.
On the lorazapam it makes you so calm, that I never got anxious, and hence the smell did not come out. Guys..this was seriously like a miracle drug. D:
Don't look at using it like a life time thing, I only used it for classes, or occasions where I had to be in tightly enclosed areas. You don't need to use it everyday, just before the situation you are going in to.
I know it is kind of bad to be recommending medicine. But I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH, THIS TURNED MY WHOLE LIFE AROUND!
I was expelled from university for never attending classes, exams etc. I was extremely suicidal, given up on life etc. I thought - i will never be able to finish school, and therefore never be able to find a job and support myself.
Using lorazapam was the only thing that could make me stay in a classroom. Now, I went back to university, finished my degree, have nearly finished my second degree, and just got a full time job!
This doesnt mean you can eat lots of junkfood, and take the medicine and expect not to smell the next day. You still might, but it usually will not make you care about it, since you are so relaxed.
Of course their are important side effects - it can make you VERY sleepy, if you take too much. Also it can loosen you up a bit too much - like make you too...social? And I also noticed it kills my appetite for the day if i take too much, or at least my taste buds.

Honestly, life is still REALLY hard. I cry and...I do think about death a lot. But if you need a short time solution for how to just get past the initial schooling stage, then I really recommend lorazapam. But you will probably need a better solution to be happy in the long run.
