Does Anyone Else Have Extreme Sensitivity To Temperature, Smells, And Hearing?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kalamazoo, MI

Yeah I know, I've got a barrel full of issues that doesn't stop
I had the smells and hearing sensitivity before, but they are like on steroids now. The temperature is new. I've got Raynauds on hands from years ago almost freezing them. But now it's my whole body not adjusting to hotter or colder temps much at all. I'm talking a 5-10 degree difference, which is nothing in MI, right
How can I override my nose, I literally can smell peoples exhaust and tell some types from others, and what kind… read more

Tina-I had Raynaud’s primarily effecting basically the hands and feet. It could be so intense. Two winters ago, I took my son’s dog to the dog park. During that time I got so cold my hands, feet, and nose went white to blue. I was in tears and had to ask someone to help me walk, leash the dog and start my car. My extremities went back to doing their normal raynaud’s thing. However my nose has not. It is so hard to deal with. I did not even know until then it could affect your nose. So, 🥸 word of advise is, to protect your nose as well as you do your feet and hands. Every time my nose gets cold it is a painful and a big deal now. Even the to smell candles in a shop, or air fresheners will trigger it. I put those stick on hand warmers in a mask and wear it if I am going to be out in the elements very long. Now the sense of smell that is a conundrum. I do notice that my daughter with allergies has a very heightened sense of smell. I am not sure of my problem.

They use Vicks under their noses in the morgue. I wear masks with sandalwood oil on them. I am very sensitive to smells. Some times I want to warn strangers of an illness, I can smell, when they are next to me. Years of being a nurse has given me some special abilities, lol. One time I froze my nose and hands and it triggered the Raynaud’s I have in the worst way. Now, both cold and odors trigger face pain. I wear a mask all winter and fall in our great Michigan state. It keeps Raynauds at bay, and blocks odors, which helps with both nausea and sanity.

Hi. I haven’t noticed an uptick in smell sensitivity, but I have recently developed tinnitus, which is very annoying!

I don't have reynauds it's awful in itself my sister had it. I only have very sensitive skin. I cannot use steroid creams or ointments they burn. I was taken off of dupixent. I'm getting acne on my face my whole body is covered with nodules.if not itchy nodules or painful then scars. I have pn on my scalp. The itch is so annoying makes me want to scream! I haven't went crazy yet. I have other medical health issues also. But no issues with smelling or hearing. I'm 65 I am so glad it's cooler out now so I can wear long sleeves. Winter soon here in Ohio.
