*sniff* can you smell that?

No, it’s not teen spirit or sex and candy.

I have super sonic smelling.  No, I’m not pregnant. Jesus people!

For some reason, maybe I am a mutant freak from the antibiotics, but I can smell everything with extreme sensitivity.

Perfume is out of the question.  I put some on the other day and I complained ALL day about it. When I got home, I took a shower and I could still smell it.  I put on some lotion from Bath and Body Works, same thing.
“Oh my god, I STINK!”
“EWW, I SMELL LIKE OLD LADY!”
“I feel all icky!!!”

I’m not sure why this is happening, but it’s horribly uncomfortable for me…BECAUSE I SMOKE!  Is this some stupid joke on my system?  I already know that smoking stinks, but I don’t notice it unless it’s cold, early or not me smoking.  Now, I can smell everything, all the time.
Food has been one of those things that usually has a pleasant smell…not so much anymore.  Things are either too much or tangy in my nose.  Nothing really smells good.

Curse or Dream? I haven’t figured out which one yet.

    I am though :D But SHHHH you can’t say anything on any other websites b/c my family does not know yet! How would you feel about being an IG to two babies?

    supersonic smelling is something I have big time right now!! And most smells make me want to vomit, haha.

    I never had meds that made my nose super sniffy though! But when I quit smoking a few years ago, I gained back my sense of smell and could smell cigarette smoke in other cars when I was driving! BLECH!!

    Perhaps this is what you’ve been missing? Getting your system clear of everything could be letting your nose finally do its thing.

    Good incentive to quit?

    I can’t stand perfume now. The smell makes me really sick. I used to like it, but the older I get, the more I hate it.

    I am the same way. I got a very sensitive nose. I pretty much hold onto my breath when I go through cosmetic section of a department store. The mixed of all the perfume smell gives me headache.

    Maybe it has something to do with all those anti-biotics you were on and now you’re not. I dunno but smoking really does stink. Maybe you’re smeller is finally working. :)

    Oh oh,,,congrats to Liza! Way to go. Knocked up again :)

    Yes, might be one of two reasons:
    1. All those antibiotics finally cleared out the sinus and you can finally smell
    2. You’re pregnant

    I have been smoke free since Octobe 1, 2008. I was a lifelong smoker – 30+ years. I just want to share with you about the miracle drug that changed my life- CHANTIX!!!! I know, I know, side effect stories are scary but it will work if you are really ready to quit. E-mail me and we can chat about it:) Brenda
