I'm wondering are you guys the same way? Do you have what you would consider to be heightened senses when it comes to your body?
Do I ever!
All of my senses are magnified compared to other peoples, particularly smell, taste, hearing and touch. I think it may explain why I can be a bit tetchy at the end of the day, just worn out I guess.
Mind you I always perk up after you-know-what or a few beers!

Now THIS I find fascinating. My husband one time called me an "Unbelievable Princess." I thought he meant I acted like a Prima Donna, which I don't--but then he clarified.
Princess like in the story of the Princess and the Pea, LOL.
I can clearly remember being a toddler and my family trying to sit me in the grass--and shrieking because I HATED the way it felt on my skin. To this day I will not sit on grass. I just got goose bumps thinking of it, LOL.
Cotton or silk only please--wool sets me off as does any manmade material.
When it comes to odors I can easily get nauseaous if I smell something "not quite right."
That's amazing, Eman! We have the same heightened senses, also. I wonder if there's a tie-in, ya think?
Luckily, most of this stuff I have been fortunate at learning to tune out. But I have friends who I really can not go in their homes because there's an odor (not that they're dirty).
They laugh at me when I tell them every human has their own smell--I could (blindfolded) pick my hubby out of a crowd of a thousand men and the same for my kids.
Wierd, huh? Maybe we're twins separated at birth.

Lisa,
I can smell anything, I can even tell if the TV is switched on elsewhere in the house!

I can actually hear the high pitch moan, too.

HELP ME! I just started having what I think is panic attacks. I was going on a long awaited trip to California and while at the airport in line to check my baggage I started what I call freaking out. Had to walk out of line sit done I swear I was going to faint. I knew someone years ago that had these and could'nt leave her home for 3 years! I tought how horrible would that be! That would never happen to me I tought. I got on the plane and started would I call hyperventailing. My heart was racing my face was flushed after we took off I was fine. After we got there had to wait for my sister to come and get me started a new round of whatever it was started, off and on the whole time I had them! Worst trip I've ever had. Since then I've had a few. But I don't understand this kind of thing happening to me! And yes I too am hyper sinsitive I smell very good so if I tell my husband I think I smell something strange he checks it out. I wish I could figure this out! Kimmie
I used to have severe panic attacks throughout my young life. Believe it or not, they almost totally disappeared after I left the Borg! I occasionally get stressed out with my business from time to time,but find that St. John's Wort & Kava supplements mellow me out.
Count me among those suffering with panic attacks or as I prefer to call it 'anxiety disorder.' LOL!
I've always been one of those people who thinks things have to be done just so; the house has to be spotless, the car must be clean at all times, my desk at the office must be absolutely paper-free...that sort of thing. About three years ago this all came to a head and while I was having lunch with some friends I completely lost it. Felt like I was having a heart attack and was absolutely certain I was going to die. Friends rushed me to the doctor to find that my blood pressure was phenomenally high. The doctor didn't know what was wrong with me, but falsely believed it to be my inner ear.
They bounced me from specialist to specialist before we hit upon the fact that I appeared to be fitting the panic attack profile. They put me on anti-anxiety (a misnomer if ever there was one) medication and things have been much better since. I haven't had a full-blown attack in probably two years or more, but there are still times when I feel like I might be on the verge - deep breathing is a life-saver.
My sister and mother both have problems with MVP, but until reading this thread I never even thought about the possiblity that it could be this causing my problems. Still in all, I'm fairly certain that it is anxiety and/or panic attacks in my case as the triggers are usually the same type of situation.
Still, it's something to mention to the doctor the next time I'm in the office.
Thanks for letting me bore you all! LOL!
