Hello πŸ‘‹

Just joined this group & am newly diagnosed with fibromyralgia.

Does anyone have any suggestions for hypersensitivity to smells & managing when needing to go down the cleaning product isle in the supermarket?

I'm finding it overwhelming at the moment & getting quiet anxious.

My mum is very sensitive to smells. In particular she finds traffic smells on busy roads a problem. She uses an FFP2 face mask which helps. You have to make sure the mask is a proper FFP2 one (CE marked). And that you fit it well.

As with all things fibro, might not be the same for you. Good luck finding something that works.

Thankyou for this, I will try a face mask. Anything that helps with the fybro is a good thing.
