I have only noticed the increased sense of smell when I had a major flare. But overall, chemical (cleaning supplies), paint, and perfumes, and flowery scents bother me on a daily basis.

Hrm, maybe I'm in a 'flare' of sorts with this sensory pain then. I see my family doctor this week, I'll mention it to her. Neuro is in November...
I've only really got Clonazepam to take currently to control this pain, and it does help a bit, but I wish I could find an anti convulsant that I don't poorly react to that would help.

I get that "funky smell" symptom on an adhoc basis, and not necessarily when I am in an attack. It usually lasts a week or two, and I most often smell boiling beef bones or smoke (usually electrical "fire").
Whatever is causing this burning for you, Laura & Barb, is probably the same thing that causes the tingling in my cheek and numbness in my mouth. It's just a different sensation. From what I recall, it's perhaps from a lesion in the brainstem, where there are 12 cranial nerves, including the TN one. I only know of 2 spinal cord and 3 brain lesions that I have . . . but that doesn't mean there aren't more that I am not aware of. Cherie

When I get burning, it might be the bottoms of my feet, my neck or lower back. Those spots are not killer painful, but not pleasant. Or my left leg - which is killer painful. The broiler thing is right on target. For that the only thing that works is 50 mgs of amitriptyline.
The only times I've had the heightened smell sx, both times I was pregnant.

HA! You mentioned abstinence before. Hmm...... Immaculate Conception?
 My daughter claimed she and her boyfriend weren't doing anything. She ended up preggo. I told her it was the 2d Immaculate Conception. She got ****** at me. But my grandson was born on the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception. There IS justice in this world!

I have reason to question it though Gaztastic LOL. I met me a man this past weekend and had a wonderful time. Gamers are such cuties
 I was a good girl and 'played safe' LOL... so I highly doubt there will be any surprises, but you never do know, right?
