Thanks Barb.

I notice too with mine, while it burns from top of the head into my face (today it's to the left corner of my mouth... a little numb tingly area) that my sense of smell is also 'heightened'. It's weird.

I was flying over the weekend, and at one point I was in a part of the Montreal, Canada airport where I got a smell of something plastic/chemical almost, and it really really bothered me.

Do you find too that your sense of smell is also either dulled or heightened with the facial burning?
