sensitive to smells on period

[iguanasdefuego.livejournal.com]

Hi kids (lol I'm 18). I was just wondering if any of you become extra sensitive to smells during your period? I just noticed today while I was chopping some fresh cilantro that it was making me nauseous. Ick! Also, I sliced up some fresh mushrooms and looking at the gills under the caps made me queesy. Does this happen to anyone else?

I would agree with you that synesthesia is there all the time; but, as you know, in some people it is not very prevelant. I wouldn't consider it impossible that during certain times it becomes more pronounced, especially if that time was when you were menstuating, when everything is all wacky anyway. I was thinking that nausea as being a feeling, because you feel nauseaous, and it was brought on by a smell.

I wasn't saying that she had it, just that it might be something that she might want to look at. My expierence with synaesthesia is limited to my expierences and the community, and I don't want to give the impression that I know a lot about it. Which was why I also gave the OP the link for sensedefence; it's for people that are sensitive to certain stimuli, including but by no means limited to synaesthetes.

Fair enough. :) I just didn't want the OP to think that what she is experiencing fits the definition of synesthesia, even though it is similar in some ways.
