Super Smeller

In the hours befor a CH kicks in really hard,I have the usual symptons(tearing,stuffy nose,droopy eye)What I find really unusual is that I can smell things at all most super human strength.I know it sounds crazy but I can actually smell cigarette smoke from the car next to me,or a deer walking in the woods.Sented candles outside a house...on and on.Once I'm in a cycle of kip 6-8 it subsides.But at that time all loud smells make things worse. Is this unusual for a CH?  David

I have heightened senses throughout my cycle. So people, please shower regularly in Davenport.

Y'all sound like a bunch of migraneurs  Seriously, my wife becomes very sensitive to smell before she gets a migraine. I haven't noticed any change in my sense of smell before the beast hits, but wouldn't be suprised if some cluster heads do experience that.

I often get "sensory overload" during an attack. Not just smells - light, noise, even touch.

I've tried to explain this phenominom often. The best thing i could come up with is that when i am in cycle it's like i'm "allergic" to the world and all it's "stink". LOL. I love marinara sauce except when i'm clusterin. I like popourri except when i'm clusterin. I like so many things except when i'm clusterin - somehow when in a cycle so many of the things i usually just take with pleasure become an "aggravant".
Go figur.
It is not a meegraine thing. I really think that sensory overload is associated in one form or another with clusters as well, it just takes a "variant" form from meegraines. Can't even begin to tell ya the posts from today and yesterday where sensory elements play distinct rolls in the overall dance.

The smeller doesn't get any better, but if someone comes close to me, look out. My vision is kinda funky and if someone is less than a foot near me, it feels like they are right on top of me. Weird.

Wow.
Maybe you can apply to be on a German Shephard narcotics search team. With a sniffer like yours, you could probably make a lot of good busts. 
Just kidding.
I find that smells change for the worse like KimH already said. Smells trigger my CH's when in cycle. I have to stay away from all Aromas, potpourri, hair spray and such. Cigar smoke is a definate trigger with just one whiff. Can't smell a deer a mile away though. lol
