Extreme but to me would be worth it if possible.....

by Viki32371, Nov 08, 2009 06:59PM
Prob 90% of my migraines are caused by smells/scents/perfumes.  Unfortunately, I seem to have also been cursed with a hypersensitive sense of smell.  I can't get in someone's car if they have an air freshener in it, we have to take my car. My husband has to clean the bathrooms & I have to leave the house for most of the day while he leaves the windows open & the exhaust fans on. I have to use only unscented anything on myself or my clothing--or even on my husband's clothing if I ever wanna cuddle. At work, if someone comes in with perfume or cologne on, wham!...headache for the rest of the day!  I could go on....Anyway...my question is this...Is it possible, as extreme as it sounds, to have the sense of smell (olfactory nerve??) disconnected/stopped/removed?   This problem affects EVERY DAY of my life.  I went to a concert w/my husband & got a migraine waiting in line to get in from the perfume & cigarettes around me...I can't enjoy most "outings" & ruin half of them for him, because of this.
