Super Sniffer
I can totally relate to the above story. As my condition worsened over the years my nose became more sensitive to my allergies. I can even detect the kind of detergent people have washed their clothes in. It is unbelievable to people because I can smell things that no one else is bothered by. I also have to leave the area due to fragrances, or cooking smells, certain flowers, cats, and any chemicals. I have rid my house of the gas furnace, cooking with gas, water heater, and all carpeting. It is an expensive nose! I now have COPD. The family finally understands.
Hi.
Thank you for your comment. As you can see by the other comments on the post you are certainly not alone here in this community. And that is awesome that your family "finally understands" you as as you. Did you find that it was a challenge getting them to understand? John. asthma.net community moderator.
