Re: Medication question

I think sometimes the

lighting in some of the stores can have an odd affect on us, or it could even

be the smells that some of them blow out in the air conditioning (especially

supermarkets).

You are right, I

think that it could be the chemicals and / or the lighting.. it never failed

for me all the time I lived in Shrewsbury.. Boots.. dizzy.. L I know I am hypersensitive to perfumes in anything, and chemicals in garden centres, so I

try to avoid all those things..I do so love perfumes too.. but even if I put

them on my clothing rather than my skin, I can taste them.. ( I know I am odd…

!)

[Guest guest]

You taste stuff that you have smelled too? Same here, doesn't matter what it is either. Chemical smells like bleach and the like, those are the ones that are the worst, even diluted bleach. I can taste it for a full 24 hrs or more, once I've even caught a whiff of it. As a matter of fact, it always still feels or smells like I'm still breathing it.

I do that, too! Not for as long, though, it just lingers for a few hours.

You mean it's NOT just me??? wow... I'm sensitive to stuff now that never bothered me before... and lately, I RARELY use perfume.... it's been bothering me... same bottle I've used for years... not the same brand.. the same bottle... and I don't think it goes bad..... but now just a light spritz in the air that I let fall on me seems too much to me.... I inhale just a bit of it and I feel over loaded with it..... perfume, bleach, gasoline, natural gas.... unflushed toilet..... That is NOT a nice thing to get the feeling that you are soaked in it......

Hmmmmmmmm interesting....

wanted to say thanx for the tips on the mini meal portions. funny,it

sounds like my normal daily portions, just more often! lol. also

wanted to tell you that most perfumes and colognes will go bad with

time. i want to say usually 3 or 4 years, depending on the brand.

some

brands will only weaken in their scent over time, so it may not be

so

noticable, while others totally change, almost turn rancid. my

fiance

had a bottle of polo from about 7 years ago- my god, was it gross.

think alot has to do with the base of the fragrance- i do alot of

spice type, (think cinnamon undertones) and i find that mine only

weaken... but some are just downright nasty. once that bottle is

opened and/or sprayed it changes.

> thanx again

it is as if we now live in a chemical cocktail.. even our

perfumes probably are not the same recipe.. smell the same but not the same..

probably have enhancers. I don’t like the musk based ones either, as I think we

need to attract humans, not Elks !

( Quite a joke as I have recently discovered my great grandmother was

one Elks !)

Let's see...breakfast is hard for me because I'm not crazy about

breakfast food

sometimes I like a half bagel with strawberry cream cheese, usually

everyone else is eating a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, or bacon and eggs

(ick), or biscuits and gravy (double ick). I'll eat a couple of

biscuits with a dab of jelly or honey on those days.

for lunch we usually have leftovers from dinner the night before, or a

sandwich made with 2 thin slices of lunchmeat (ham or turkey) on

regular grocery store wheat bread. I don't like mayo so mine is

usually dry. I also like hot pockets, so sometimes I'll eat one of

those instead. I'm not big on chips, but once in a while I eat the

baked lays chips. I haven't had those in weeks because nothing sounds

good. Sometimes we grill out preformed hamburgers and have those for

lunch, but unfortunately we will eat frozen french fries with those.

If nobody else is home I often forget to eat lunch because I just

don't feel like eating and again, nothing sounds good.

In the afternoon I will eat one of those plastic fruit cups that come

in a 4 pack, or package yogurt cup, usually not because I feel like

eating, but because my stomach feels icky from being empty. For

dinner, which seems to be the only meal I'm hungry for, we usually

have a small green salad, muffin or bread, and something like a frozen

lasagna or grilled chicken breasts, or if I have any energy I make

black beans and rice with onions, tomatoes and peppers. Occasionally

we make spaghetti, which I could eat every day, but the kids get sick

of it. Sometimes we make tacos and have beans and cheese on the side.

Lately we've made the beer-can roasted chicken a lot. I'm bored

silly with the menu and don't know what to fix. I am not a picky

eater other than breakfast foods, but 1 kid is picky and my guy is a

diabetic who thinks carbs are the anti-christ. I like a meat,

potatoes or rice, bread and veggie meal at night, but due to his

preferences we usually have meat, salad, bread. About twice a week I

get horrible sweet cravings and we will make a cake or buy a dessert,

but everyone eats it so it isn't like I'm eating a whole cake by

myself. Sweets and bread are my downfall, but even so, I'm not

eating much other than dinnertime. The rest of the time I just feel

icky and can't understand why everyone else is hungry.

I love pasta dishes, chicken, steak, rice, spicy stuff... meat loaf

is ok, but again, the kids won't eat it as often as I will.

I'm thinking maybe I need to make a bunch of little veggie cups to

nuke when I can't think of anything else to eat, and some mini meat

loaves, then I can continue to fix the family meals they like and just

do my little snacks all day.

It's lunchtime right now and I don't want food at all, yet I can

'feel' that I need to eat.
