Wow, I would not have believed this had I not read it with my own eyes. You guys have described me so well. The worst scent for me is the orange cleaners. My lungs freeze, I can feel the orange scent in the air before I smell it. The feeling comes from deep within, I start coughing, then my breathing slows, I start gasping for air--it's a horrible feeling. Some vanilla scents do it too. The Glade Plug-ins are villians for me. I love mystical stores, yet the incense is too much for me to handle. Bath and Body Works is a favorite store for me, yet some scents will have my eyes watering in seconds, then my eyes tear like heavy crying for well over an hour--it's terrible. Some soaps and lotions burn my skin on impact. It's weird, I can lather it on my hands, yet the minute I touch another part of my body, instant burn and I can't get it off me fast enough. This gets worse all the time.

I never connected it to neuropathy. I just figured it had something to do with my celiac disease and my other intolerance's, which is still possible too. What we have to deal with!!!!!!
