YES!! It's driving me nuts these days, some smells actually make me angry! I had a about a week not so long ago where normal smells that shouldn't bother anybody were making me nearly vomit, like the smell of broccoli nearly sent me over the edge, and I could smell things no one else could. At the moment I can smell people's hair from metres away. If it was just a once off I would say that person just needs to wash their hair (I checked it wasn't me), but then it started happening all the time. I tried researching it and just freaked myself out, so not doing that again.
@A MyFibroTeam Member lol that's not helpful. I work for the NHS in the UK and get very sensitive to the smells of hand washes and stuff and end up feeling nauseated for the rest of the day.
Yes and I hate it when I complain of an annoying smell, and no one else smells it!
Yes always drives me nuts too I had to change my favourite lenor for my washing after it started to affect me I hate when companies change the smells to stronger aromas also my candles certain kinds I loved can no longer like so have to go around smelling things and if it get a pain between my eyes I know not to buy them .x
