Funny You Should Mention That Posted: 05-08-04 08:45am
I've always had a strong sense of smell,
my family makes fun of me because of it.
When I was pregnant it was even worse. In
fact, if you've got the time, i've got a
funny little story to tell about it.
We were renting a small apartment in
hawaii. I kept a clean house which wasn't
hard because that apartment was so small.
The apartments were also kind of old and
so the plumbing wasn't the newest. The
tiles in the bathroom needed to be
replaced, but I did my best to keep that
bathroom spotless and sanitized. When I
was pregnant, I noticed that there was a
urine smell in that bathroom that I could
not get rid of. I decided it was urine
seeped under the tile from previous sloppy
tenants or leaky pipes whatever. So, I
called the manager and complained that my
toilet must be leaking. They sent a
plumber. He came and checked it out and
said there were no leaks. I said, "can't
you smell that?! It stinks! There must
be a leak" he said, "no, I don't smell
anything. And I can assure you there's no
leak." I complained to my husband and he
said he couldn't smell anything either.
So, I had to suffer with the smell of
urine in that bathroom for the rest of my
pregnancy. Once I delivered my son, it
seemed the smell finally went away.
But my sense of smell remains pretty keen.
I always smell stuff before anyone else
does. I just wish my eye sight and my
hearing were as acute.

I Go Through the Same Thing Posted: 05-08-04 09:01am
Oh man I go through the same thing. I can
smell every dang thing in this house when
everyone else smells nothing. Do you
have lupus too? If I get a really bad
small it can cause it to flair.

Hi Leucara Posted: 05-12-04 21:16pm
I don't know if I have lupus yet. I have
something. I just don't have a diagnosis.
I'm in the process of finding out what it
is. I don't think a smell has ever kicked
off a flair for me, but then again I
wasn't really paying attention. Things
that seem to do it are sickness (like
colds, viruses, weather changes, and my
monthly period--probably the worst thing
right now doing me in).

Perfume Posted: 05-20-04 04:03am
I've always had a very strong sense of
smell and taste. I can smell paint
from very far away. Strong smells
like perfumes will give me a headache.
Everything I buy has to be fragrance
free.
Here's a good web page about the health
risks of perfumes.
Click on the link below and then click on
"health risks of perfume and other
products containing fragrance" further
down the page.

.Com
for some reason this forum keeps trying to
capitalize the links which is screwing
them up.

Hi all,i never thought of my sense of
smell having anything to do with my
lupus,but anythings possible i'm finding
out with lupus.I used to clean homes for a
cleaning co and I always got teased about
my smelling ability.It can come in handy!!

Hi shawna,
i have the same problem...I can smell my
horse a mile away. I guess it's the only
side effect I don't mind with having lupus
and epilepsy!
