My biggest problem is olfactory hallucinations. I awaken sometimes to strong odors and often smell smoke and have to investigate. These have been easing a little lately but are quite disconcerting.

Oh, I can only imagine how freaky that would be. Scary!! Perhaps I'll be grateful I only have the sensitivity. I didn't mention that it is not just to unpleasant odors.....even the smell of dinner cooking seems overwhelming to me sometimes. I try to use the crock pot to cook dinner in the morning because my RSD symptoms get worse as the day progresses and it's hard for me to stand more than 5-10 minutes at a time. My family gets fed, but I have to smell it all day.

Are you on any meds that could be contributing to your olfactory hallucinations??? How long have you had RSD???
