Question Hyper-sensitive???
I am new to all of this (dx'd Oct 13th) but am wondering if in the process of killing the motor-neurons, ALS does something to increase the sensitivity of some of the other senses. In particular, my eyes seem intensely more sensitive to bright light, my ears to loud noises (startle easily), and my nose to foul smells (I can smell a smoker from 50 feet away, outside, on a breezy day!). Is any of this familiar to anyone?
