Re: emotional lability - also a poll

[Guest guest]

This gets stranger and stranger....

Yes, hot feet. Tore up all my rugs and will not replace them, because a cold

floor feels

good. I keep my bedroom unheated, so I can sleep with my feet out of the covers.

Never

could understand why anyone would tuck sheets in the bottom of a bed. And I have

always

kept buckets of cool water every where during the summer...ahhhhh...

And I have been a super sniffer all my life. My only regret is that I was not

born to the

right family in France. There super sniffers are highly valued in the perfume

industry.

Doesn't that sound like a tough day Sniffing things.... :-)

Heck, I can find anything that has any odor at all. No one else ever smells

anything.

Though this ability can drive you crazy at times.

Laurel,

I can't wear silver. Turns me black. Other than that no problem, and the

watch always works.

For me, it's just a desperate need to cool down--and my feet seem to be the

hottest part when I'm like that. Kind of like a localized hot flash.

I can also second that one. Also taste sensitivities--I can't abide any

unnatural flavors (Vanillan, all the candy flavorings). I've left a

restaurant when they seated someone with heavy perfume at the next table,

too.

Hi Pam B.,

My mom never had RAI so that wasn't why she did it. One doctor told her she

had a high electrical current running through her body that caused her to

demagnitize the watch mechanisms...I have no clue

what that means LOL.

Hi ,

Does lipstick turn your lips bright red, no matter what the color? I had

forgotten it does that to me since I haven't even attempted to wear it in 25

years.

Hi Laurel,

No, not more acute, I don't think, but scents like perfume, hair spray, gel,

shampoo, things like that will make me dizzy, sick to my stomach

immediately, and I end up with a mirgraine if I don't remove myself from the

area the scents are in. Even hubby's Head and Shoulders is now starting to

affect me...so we now go on another shampoo search.

Jody,

This is just curiosity but have you ever taken a bunch of the stuff that you are

sensitive to (smell wise) and looked for common ingredients? Perhaps this stuff

can become airborne and you are reacting to it.

My mother used to claim that the smell of latex paint made her ill. I didn't

identify with this until I developed my latex allergy ( work related of course)

and now the smell of latex paint makes me ill as well.

There is just too much out there that isn't found in nature. Even some of the

stuff that is causes problems. My eldest is intensely allergic to box elder

which is like a weed in the old neighborhood. And without being around horses

much, she is allergic to horses. Probably the horse hair in the plaster in the

old house. This stuff is soooo hard to figure out because there is so much of

it and because, as our bodies become more or less healthy we seem to react to

different things.

But that foot thing has me really stumped. Thanks for ruining my sleep!

Whoa! This is getting scary. My middle child was born hyperkinetic. She

didn't sleep through the night until she was over four years old. We sort of

figured out that she was set off by artificial flavoring and coloring agents.

Vanillin was one of the main offenders. And red and yellow food dyes. But we

had several years of very boring looking foods without preservatives as well.

This is also the one with the incredible premature gray hair.

Terry,

I've had that happen too. But not always. Never associated it with symptoms

either. But it would be very cool to figure out what chemical is being created

(probably oxidized but maybe no because, as I remember silver nitrate is also

black.) and why your skin has a higher content of that. Those of us with metal

problems might be transforming the metals to some molecules that would be VERY

interesting to study for their commonalities.

Anybody know how to write a grant?
