Chemical sensitivity?

[RLR]

Okay, once again, this forum is not for response by the general forum group and I would ask you to please take note.

There is no such thing as an "adrenaline heightened" sense of smell and the fight or flight response does not improve olfactory senses. Please remember that the people posting inquiries to this specific forum are seeking medical information from qualified physicians. While your desire to help and provide input to other members and guests is admirable, the innacuracy of your statements is only adding to their confusion.

Lastly, medicine is not a presumptive science based on what seems plausible.

To the question or concern, the term for what you are experiencing is known as Hyperosmia and is experienced by many persons with both anxiety disorders and depressive disorders. Many persons have more commonly observed or experienced symptoms of Hyperacusia, which is extreme sensistivity to sounds and commonly arises from a hangover, but more commonly associated with migraineurs and again, the mood disorders.

Your experience does not suggest any association with chemical sensitivity of any form, which would more be the case if you were developing contact dermatitis (skin eruptions) from these products rather than sensistivity to their smell.

You'll be fine and the phenomenon usually dissipates over time, but in some cases it has been predominant for long periods of time and merely suggests a variant of normalcy for those individuals affected.

RLR - I am sorry and have deleted my reply. I did not realise this was in a forum thread for you. When I log on I go to active topics since last visit and look for things that interest me. When you do that all you see is titles not what section they are under. There is no way of knowing what forum it's on, it's not clear at all. Ok it is at the top of this page if you scroll up but it's not on the page of active topics and once I click on a topic I read it and don't look at the top to check. I have done this twice now but never mean too. I am so sorry and will try and check in future.
