Sense of Smell heightened... can any one relate?

Hi, had a handful of new experiences past twenty four hours. Looking for answers. Has anyone else ever found that their sense of smell is suddenly really good. I could smell the cat litter from the other side of the house last night (yuk!) and when hubbie came home last night he smelt really strongly of fish (even after changing all his clothes for me!) the only explanation was that he'd eatend a red snapper for his lunch 6 or 7 hours earlier.
Is it just me or can anyone relate to this?
thanks.

Hmm

I dont get sense of smell chnges but I do get vision changes, ive been feeling disconnected and seeing halo's all day today for example but I am not sure if thats the same thing.

I can't figure that one out either but you posted about having dissociation so with both of those combined and the fact that you had some concern about the long term effects of recreational drugs, I would reccommend seeing a neurologist for a consult to see if there have been long term effects or if there is another neurological disability independent of all of this. It might be psychiatric as well but it seems beyond me but both of those combined could be completely psychiatric in origin although I may be wrong but it still would be worth inquiring about.

Thanks, but when I said "drugs" I meant the prescription ones..I'm not one for going off script.

Of course not. Then it would have nothing to do with medications but it could be a neurological disability. I would suggest speaking to a neurologist regardless and perhaps detail everything that's going on and post the question in the expert forum under neurology and see if it could explain part of it.

Hi,  someone else has posted about smells - "newbie trying to understand - hallucinations".  

I'm not sure whether these heightened sense of smells are a hallucination or not.  Like the other poster I always smell horrid things and search and high and low for the source to no avail and nobody else can smell them.

Perhaps a question to ask my psych next time I see her ;-)

[dippy1]

Yeah..but this is a new thing ..never been able to snell this much before....bizarre....but I'm not keen on the word "hallucination" , maybe it's a compensation thing 'cos my eyesight gone worse than ever!  :-S   LOL!

[bernie40]

Aaaah!  Well that's got me stumped :-s

my sense of smell is good.  my friend had a lemon car freshner in her car, and 15 minutes later i met her, about 5 roads away from her car and all i said to her first was 'lmeon?'
and she said hmm, yes, car freshner?
it was only a small car air freshner. i am good for picking up what people have eaten too, say for instance my boyfriend, i could smell if he had strawberry, biscuits or yogurt.

I can say my eye sight has got blurry over the past years, which may have made my nose senses stronger, as one weakens another strongens.
I believe this strategy.
Also, I'm vegan so I smell a lots of different foods and not just the average flavours, which expands the nose. I wonder what the environment is like where you work?
