Couple of questions

[puppydog]

Hi. I have a couple of questions:

 

1. Do your PANS kids ever smell scents that don't exist in an obsessive way (the smell scares them)?

 

2. Do your PANS kids have rage reactions to foods with a lot of yeast?

 

Thanks

My child:

 

1. She is verbally delayed so she could not tell me this.

 

2. No

 

I have OCD so for me:

 

1. I have an intense sense of smell, but the odor is actually there just not detectable to most people (IE I have found small/tiny natural gas leaks in several people homes, so the smell was verified, though I was usually initially told I was imagining it). Years later, most folks just believe me when I tell them I smell something odd ie mold, gas etc... Does the smell scare me? No, but they can be very bothersome to the point of distraction from other tasks ie gas, mold, animal feces/urine etc. So, I can see how a child may respond with fear since they are less likely to understand what is going on.

 

2. No

I have superior sense of smell too. I used to work in a food factory and suspect this is coming from being exposed to too many chemicals. I can smell whether a food is missing salt!! I am the first to detect a kids dirty diaper.

 

This is the body's way of warning that there is something not alright.
