Re: To Caroline... bright light, noise, smell

[Guest guest]

I do that also! For some reason it's especially bad when I'm in a

moving vehicle. I've noticed that I now get " carsick " a lot, but it's

not about the movement... it's about the smells! You know how when you

go by road kill, especially skunk, that makes most folks gag? To me it

is ten times worse than that but there seems to be no reason for me to

be smelling it! My kids still think I'm nuts when it happens!

have olfactory hallucinations. I smell things that aren't there!! At

least nobody else can smell them. Sometimes it is a nice smell, like

baking bread or chocolate, sometimes flowers, and other times it is

like a really rancid, nasty aroma!! I end up trying to 'smell myself',

like my breath, or underarms, or whatever, as I'm always afraid it's

me, even if I know I'm clean. The smells I smell can be so awful, and

to me, so strong, that I can't believe nobody else can smell them.
