That was a scary situation you were in and potentially very dangerous. I think I have the reverse...my sense of smell seems to be overstimulated to the point my nasal passages hurt.The same happens to my eyes and my mouth...I have teary eyes, but also dry itchy ones, and my mouth and tongue become very dry, while I have saliva in my mouth. How does all this work? It's all very puzzling.annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-46035064226191418202010-02-20T03:30:47.876-08:002010-02-20T03:30:47.876-08:00I'm happy to know your OK.

BUT this doesn't mean that you will, and I really hope that you don't. Although Sjogren's can cause this, it isn't one of the most common symptoms of Sjs. <br /><br />In the meantime, take time to smell those roses.

Smells trigger very strong memories and feelings for me - I won't wash a coat I have that used to hang in my grandmother's closet because it still smells like her house, and I won't get a new dresser even though mine's on it's last leg (ha, haha) because the smell the wood imparts to my clothes helps me fall asleep at night. We know what to do to delay dry eye and mouth damage, is there anything we can do about this?!Jenny Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870488565611786295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-12988126558895336342010-02-19T13:55:20.375-08:002010-02-19T13:55:20.375-08:00Yeesh!

I think I've finally (read: I hope) found something that will actually inspire me to write more. You know, trying to change one's way of life can be a great muse. The new blog is called On 3. You'll know what that means if you read it.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
