Q: Super sensitivity to smell
asked by: ^Serenity^ on December 12th, 2007

Does anyone else have a super sensitive sense of smell?
If so what do you do for it?

This is driving me nuts. My nose burns a lot, it runs and I cough frequently. I can smell things others can not smell for a while later or they don't smell anything at all. Confused

Thanks

I do ... but I like my sense of smell. Why do you want to suppress it?

Super Smeller too
I can completely relate! Not only do I smell things super strong, I taste them...which is really disgusting depending on what the smell is. Sometimes it is really good - I smelled the gas leak long before my husband would have. I read somewhere that it can actually be a hormonal thing so maybe that's worth looking into. I think maybe I was born this way - super sensitive to smells (which intensified when I got pregnant and never went away), lights, sounds, etc. so I bet maybe therapy for sensory integration might be helpful. I really just take it day by day and warn people if I'm going to their house. Sometimes I just disappear and my husband has to figure out where I went because of a smell. I am also working with a homeopath and am hoping that will help bring things down a bit. Good luck!
