Experiencing Chemical Sensitivity and Fragrance Intolerance: Seeking Advice

Thank you!

I was just compelled to respond despite bearing newbie status here, so I was pretty happy to see you wrote me!

I'm still waiting on a guess here.

It's great when you jump right in! Best way to get to know people and get involved. Looking forward to hearing more from you 😃

Hmm... @Jodie...

Allowing me to guess what your superpower can be a task... I welcome the challenge...

Therefore... can you leap tall buildings?

Are you more powerful than a locomotive?

Do you have x-ray vision?

As you can see, I waste no time in finding the truth... justice... in an American way...

(Moments later...) Ahhhh, you see the shit storm you created so far with respondents? Well... Pandora's box has not been opened... it blew up, babe... :)

I got stoma power. One whiff and BAM! Crowds flee, cats run, dogs howl, spiders jump, the internet breaks. And that's all it takes.

Welcome, Wish!

You've found the best group of folks on the World Wide Web.

 

@ Dan... yep, she sure did... and look at her location... 18 miles away... some "wishes" do come true, brother.

Alex T. will be proud.

That is interesting because I've had this before, and at the same time, my skin was cracking open like it is now. I am under a bit of stress. Complicated relationship, hmmm, maybe it's triggering some disease I have. I know they diagnosed me with eczema. It was back when I had the first COVID shot and shortly after had mesh surgery the first time. My allergist has a name for it; she calls us super smellers. Yeah, I could work for the cops sniffing out drugs, seriously.

 

Awww, thank you. But no matter what is causing it, I hope it departs soon or at least becomes a non-issue. We folks have enough issues, we don't need sniffing symptoms🤩!

Guess you are 100% right on that observation, Iggie!

 

Although I have great respect for the medical profession and many disciplines of science, we are but a child exploring!

 

So long as we keep an open mind and check all citations, then, just maybe going forward with the aid of AI in terms of sifting, monitoring, and cross-relating data, we stand to increase our potential of understanding exponentially.

 

I just have a hope that natural wisdom is accessed in parallel as our psyche moves with modern living. The exciting and essential ability for speed-enhanced cohesive research is really exciting. And in moving forward, we may yet learn to be in ever greater attunement with a deep knowledge we gain within ourselves.

I enjoyed all your jokes, but with jokes aside, I went to the ER last night as I woke up at 2 a.m. so sick. I went to a very good hospital, and they questioned me thoroughly about this symptom. They feel it's either from chemical exposures, possibly past and present, but not positive, or an autoimmune disease that could be getting triggered. They thoroughly went through my chart, looking at all records as well as the past.

No solid answers, but they were able to treat the nausea. My upcoming appointments next week with my new primary care, who is one of the best at this hospital, and the rheumatologist would be very important appointments to try and get to the bottom of it. They feel there is definitely something going on. They said they see a picture of me in my chart from before, and I do look sick like something is wrong.

I'm hoping to get answers soon as I've been struggling with this for way too long.

 

Since my vision and hearing got poor, my nose got sensitive. I can smell things a few blocks away. On crowded trails, even more. To remove the gasoline odor from my hands, I use Dawn. Wash twice, cool water. Great for removing poison ivy, too.

Same here. If I walk into a clothing store, I can smell the chemicals in the clothes. It's a horrible condition to have. I too use the Dawn to wash as nothing else gets any smells off my hands, and hand soap or bar soap just makes my hands crack open.
