Hi Orachel, I figured I would send out a reminder e-mail a week before closing anyway and I'll post here again too just to make sure everyone remembers. Don't want anyone running out over the holidays of all times!

Ug, sounds horrible, Miss Kittiepie! Hoping you get home and comfy, soon. I was definitely getting some weird sorta ear equilibrium thing, leading to big bad yuck, but took gygundo handsfull of echinecea, niacin and vitamin c, and seem to have avoided the worst of it. Thats one good thing about living with a natural medicine guru. Always lots of that stuff laying around. 
But watch, it'll sneak back up on me when I least expect it.

Orachel, I had that a couple weeks ago--nasty little bug! Lots of garlic, vitamin C, and vitamin D here!
Big hugs and hope everyone feels better soon! It's that time of year for nasty flu or cold. Stay warm and get well soon!
Wow. I'm sick, too, starting Sunday night. . . Fever, intensely sore throat, sinus infection. Been doing the OJ/vitamin C thing, with zinc, and Greek chicken soup, and constant cup of hot Constant Comment tea w/ lemon and honey . . .
Had a doctor's appointment this afternoon already scheduled, so I scored a Keflex RX from him before I left his office!
Back to my sinus med-induced coma any minute now . . .

Was very quiet in here all day. Hope you are all feeling better. **new juice flavor idea = eucalyptus ** just in time for flu season.
Would be sinus relieving, chest clearing and smell like Vicks vapo rub! Thing is, I would vape it at least once, I love the smell of vicks lol.

Good Morning. Hope those of you feeling a bit under the weather are feeling better today.
I think I am going to have to start stuffing cotton balls up my nostrils! Even after 39 years of smoking my sniffer worked better than everyone else around me, except maybe my aunt who has super smell powers.
Since I cut down to two ciggies a day my sense of smell is getting more and more intense! I can smell a half days kitchen garbage from the other room. My cute little dog's breath is going to make me vomit. My daughter's hair, when she gets home from working out, has me running from the room. The sink drains smelled so pungent I had to have my husband clean every sink trap out in the house. I could go on and on ... I'm feeling assaulted by smells!
At least my VV e-juice smells good. I just might have to chain vape to keep from going insane.

Hiya, Larkfour! Morning all of you! Well, I'm the same way with my sniffer. Used to be I just had an excellent sense of smell, about 2 years ago it turned almost preternaturally good. Seriously, they could have used me as a sniffer dog... freaky good. And then about a year, that sense of smell thing turned into some rather extreme chemical sensitivities. So all the smells that used to just be horrible and offensive were suddenly making it difficult for me to breathe. Yuck, not fun. Certainly wouldn't wish that on anyone. That's not an unusual progression in people with fibromyalgia, though. Don't know WHAT the smell thing has to do with anything, but its not an uncommon symptom. Anyway, I'd definitely mention it to your doctor on your next visit. There are a few things that can over stimulate glands and make your sense of smell much stronger, so its something he she should know about. And I know this will sound absurd, but I finally got a little bit of relief by buying those 'face covering' masks, just to stop me getting assaulted by smells every few minutes. Of course, i was stuck in my house at the time, but maybe you could get a pack and wear them just at home? I hope it all works out for you! People used to always tell me my sense of smell was a gift (which always gave me flashbacks of 'Roxanne'...wanna be Cyrano...with Steve Martin), but I'd be thrilled personally if this was one gift they'd TAKE BACK! lol
One of my sisters who is a heavy smoker/vaper has the keenest sense of smell of anyone I know. I don't get it. (FWIW, she has severe fibro.)
Mornin' eVVeryone...y'all feeling better today? I am! Can't wait for my Not-So-Virgin Eggnog and Drunken Pirate to get here! YUM!

I second that Drunken Pirate waity-thing . . . I'm also awaitin' my order of KCM -- I'M OUT OF IT! 8-o
Lol Orachel re "Cyrano". Not too funny on the face mask necessity - although my family would probably be sending me to the funny house if I start wearing a gas mask around here.
Very interesting to see two fibromyalgia/super sniffer stories.
I'm making up my own story and I'm stickin to it: I have a case of significant cigarette intake reduction and hormone rebalancing effecting sniffer qualities. Crosses fingers and exclaims, "This too shall pass".
(I read some threads on "gas" problems and quitting analogs, I think I might prefer having to cover my nose and run from other people then having to cover my nose and run from myself.)
The number of chemicals purposefully added to cigs, to effect addictive qualities, definitely effects brain chemistry, so perhaps some hormone regulation is also effected?

Morning VVs, hope everyone is well. I worked with a woman who had extreme fibro. As the years passed she became intolerant of any smells such as the bathroom sprays or even someone's light cologne. She also developed severe allergies to all this stuff and had trouble breathing. She had to quit working although we tried to accomodate her as best as possible the last day she came in to work she was rushed to the hospital. I get emails from her now and then. She is on Fibro meds, Lyrica etc., but the smell problem still exists. Funny thing is she has like 10 cats in her house! Wonder how she deals with that?
Super Sniffer side note: It was too difficult to go outside for my morning smoke today. It is exhausting to go out to have that ciggie. The smell gets all over me and I have to run in scrub my hands, brush my teeth with toothpaste and then baking soda and then toothpaste again! All my clothes have to get stripped off and into the shower I go. I have to wash my hair three times to get the stink out and scrub the heck out of my skin. Into fresh clothes, blow dry hair and smell stinky ciggie clothes on bathroom floor. Shiiiiiiiit .... Now I have to do another load of laundry.
It all just seemed too exhausting this morning!!!!!!! Vapin Mango Mint Julep.
I thought my morning and evening ciggie would go once sub zero Mn weather hit, lol, not when super smeller hit.

Don't know.
My order is still processing! (Didn't order until late Monday . . . grumble grumble foolish girl . . .)
About 3 weeks into not smoking at all my house just reeked. I went through the entire place and steamed cleaned everything. Even shot the steam in the closets onto everyone's clothes. It was horrible. Now I'm eyeballing the nic and tar on my walls. They used to be a nice shade of off white. Now they are yellow. But I think a paint job this Spring will be easier than scrubbing all these walls. I prided myself on saying I would never be one of those snob x-smokers but when I get around peeps that still smoke sometimes I have to back away. The smell still bothers me but frankly not as much as it did when I first quit. Seems to have tapered off somewhat.
Joanr - glad to hear someone had some tapering off on the smell thing! Ohhhh, I'm glad I didn't do much indoor smoking, that sounds like a ton of work to get the smell out! A few times I lit a cigarette in the kitchen and walked out the backdoor, my daughter was shrieking as if I sprayed the house with mace (lol). This summer I'm sitting on the back step puffin away and I hear her yelling, "MOM, all your smoke is coming in the window, you need to go further away!". Yeah, I wanted to clock her upside the head, but she does have a bit of asthma, so I sighed and put the darn thing out.
I'm old enough to have smoked in movie theaters, on airplanes, in college classrooms, every restaurant and bar and I couldn't even enjoy smoking on my own backstep that sunny summer day, without someone screaming at me. Times sure have changed.
