Overly Sensitive Tastebuds To Taste And Pain
May 17, 2016
Ever since I can remember my tastebuds have been very sensitive to taste and to pain. For instance whenever I drink a fizzy drink I have to stir it around a lot because otherwise it hurts to drink it and I can't eat spicy foods without extreme pain to my tongue (even mildly spicy). I can also taste things in food and drinks that others can't, such as limescale in water and pesticides used on vegetables. I was wondering if there was a name for this or if it was a condition or something, also I would like to know if anyone else has this problem so I know I'm not alone.

I'm 21 and have been sexually active since I was 15. For as long as I can remember, I've had a clitoris that is way too sensitive to touch. It's very easily irritated by my pants digging into it, etc. I ride horses (jumping) and a lot of times I have to wear a pantiliner just to keep my pants from rubbing against it uncomfortably. I can't even touch it myself. The only thing that ever truly touches it is the water in the bathtub.
I've instructed partners (including my current boyfriend) to avoid directly touching it as much as possible. As long as they touch around it, I'm fine and things are great. But if they get too close, that extreme, intense sensitivity ruins the mood for me. It's almost painful, if that makes sense.
(Sex is still very enjoyable for me, so that isn't an issue.)
But is there anything I can do, or is this just the way that I was "wired," so to speak?

This is my second bout of PMR. The first time I really did not experience any side effects of the pred...with the exception of small weight gain and slightly moon faced.
I have been back on pred for 2 months. Started at 20mg. I am now down to 15 mg. I will be reducing by 1 mg / month until I reach 10 mg. Then I will reduce by 1/2 mg/month.
Anyway, I am having a very difficult time with depression this time. I am usually a pretty upbeat person, but I find myself sinking. I am so unhappy,
I am also starting to have 'mild' suicidal thoughts.. aka maybe I should just take the whole bottle of Attivan. As quick as the thought enters my mind, its gone.
Adding to this PMR...my husband passed away 8 yrs ago. I am now feeling like I did in the 2-3 yrs after. I am 62 yrs old. The only thing that keeps me going are my 9 grandkids. The problem is that I have built my whole life around only these guys. Prior to PMR and pred, I was doing fine.
Anyway...has anyone else experienced this. And if so what did you do?
I keep telling myself to stop feeling sorry for myself and move on.
I have no pain, Thank God. It's just the head confusion, lack of focus and now depression.

(Background: Had an ear infection over the Summer that had me taking antibiotics, nose and ear drops. Put flea powder on my cat that went up my nose and caused a metal blood taste in my mouth. I stopped drinking well water because of it. A couple of months after the ear infection seemed to go away.) My sense of taste sent me to the doctor to begin with. If I ate certain foods my body felt sweat through my veins, burning almost. So I went off sugar thinking that was it. I had my blood tested and they said I was on the border of having thyroid. I took the synthroid medicine prescribed and had a really bad reaction, so they took me off of them. I haven't had any medication for 1 month and a half, but now my taste went from sugary to bitter. Like maybe I had ate too much cheese or something. Sometimes it feels like I have a lump of cream cheese in my stomach. I am waiting to go to a specialist about my thyroid, but I have my doubts about it. I think I might have a bacteria infection throughout my body. I did notice a bump on the roof of my mouth on the right side. Is this normal? Can someone please tell me what is going on? I have always been a worry wart, but I am not tired, I have a little difficulty going to sleep, and I lost 7 pounds since June.

I'm a 27 year old female and I've been having abdominal pain for 2 months now. I've had a CT scan and blood tests done and everything came back normal other than an elevated WBC in the urinalysis. I can't get in to see my doctor for a few days and just want some peace of mind. I'm having bad sharp upper abdominal pain. It started on the left side originally but is now happening all over my stomach and I'm ridiculously bloated. I started having weird bone pain a few weeks afterward--there is no pattern. My hands will hurt, then my left leg will hurt, then my right hip, etc. Today I started noticing a metallic taste in my mouth as well. Anyone know what this could be? I've researched everything from hemochromatosis (my mom carries the gene) to H Pylori but nothing fits perfectly.

Ok so I'm 36 weeks and 2 days and I've gained an insane 50 lbs. It doesn't help that I'm 5'2" and my husband is 6'3" our little girl is HUGE. I also know as women we should embrace our pregnant bodies, but I just started becoming swollen and I can't help but feel like a damn oompa loompa. I'm not looking for a way to feel better it would just be nice to hear I'm not the only one feeling like a huge cow...

Ok I'm 19 years old and I think my health is good. Anyways, my gag reflex started one day after I was eating and I just looked at the food I was eating and suddenly didn't want it. At first it was just when I would brush my teeth and after using mouthwash, I would usually cough and heave or spit out water. And now I have noticed that after I eat, I can feel my gag reflex. Like I can feel that there is food stuck there (it's probably not, but I can feel something nasty there), and one time I touched my throat (outside neck area) and I wanted to vomit. Now I have an issue sometimes with the front of my shirt collar touching my neck area, because I feel suffocated and it makes the food feeling even worse.
I do salt gargling sometimes, but I still have it! Any help? I also get stomach aches more frequently now (I have gotten 3 so far in these past months and have thrown up.)

I have a very high sex drive. I am a female. I do not know if this is normal. I'm 19. I want sex everyday several times a day. I am dating a guy that I have known very well over the past six years. (He's 21) I find myself wanting it all the time now. I have been sexually active since I was 14 but this just started a couple months ago and not so normal for me. I'm not the type that wants sex allll the time, well at least I wasn't. I am very much in love with my boyfriend. We have a great relationship except he often gets frustrated w/ me bc I am wanting sex all the time. (Don't get me wrong we have a fantastic sex life, but apparently i want it to much) I get upset when he turns me down and it makes me feel unattractive an I'm starting to feel self conscious about my body and starting to wonder if he's just losing interest in me. He tells me nothing is wrong with me an he loves me an so on but I keep finding myself in this predicament. He says he too has a high sex drive but why doesn't he want it as much as me? Is something wrong with me? Am I a sex addict? What can I do to fix this problem. Masturbation doesn't really help me. I'm tired of wanting sex all the time and he gets aggravated when I try. He often says I try to hard. But if I want it I can't help it. I need help. Please do not put rude comments or say that I should not be having sex at my age. I am an adult an am very aware of my actions and I am responsible. I just need to know if there is anything I can do about this.

My sense of smell is so sensitive that I've had to ask my husband to change his deodorant, we've changed our laundry detergent to one without a fragrance, and if anything is seasoned with Italian herbs or herbs in general I become nauseous. Is anyone else sensitive to smells?

I am a 54 year old female who has suffered from migraines most of my adult life. Smells have been a trigger for them. Lately I smell things no one else does and always followed by a migraine.

Ever since I could remember the tip of my penis has been very sensitive to touch, even if I realize that uncircumcised mens' penises are somewhat sensitive to the touch, mine is like borderline impossible to feel without getting extreme discomfort. It's also quite reddish almost all the time. For quite a few years I know I wasn't cleaning it properly, and up until a couple years ago I know I had some smegma under the foreskin that I was too hesitant to peel off due to the pain. A couple years ago I finally decided to do it and got all of it off, and now I can pull the foreskin all the way back, but the discomfort is still there. I started using a balanitis cream thinking it would help, but it hasn't really done much. Do you have any idea as to what may be going on?
I'm 21 years old right now, if that matters.

I have a doctor appt. next week. My symptoms are I burp a lot after meals, and have for a long, long time. I don't get much heart burn, so I never thought much of it.
Suddenly, this past weekend, I felt a tad nauseous, and back pain. The next day, whenever I ate, I felt way over full. Even when it was just something small. I didn't overeat, and haven't all week. But every time I eat, I feel very full and bloated. I have minimal heartburn and some back pain.
Is this GERD? Or?

So my boyfriend has been fingering my for the last couple days and afterwards and during it. My clit will get very sensitive. I'm not sure if it's natural and will go away and be fine or if it's something I need to worry about. Also its very sensitive and can sting when i go pee.

Recently, I visited a dentist , and my teeth were cleaned. I was asked to be repeating that every six month. However, after the visit, a tooth became very sensitive to anything that touches it, whether hot or cold, or even ordinary water, a kind of pain sends me jumping.
I went back to the Dentist and he directed for an X-ray on the affected tooth. The X-ray showed a hole in between the teeth(an abscess). Some drugs were given to me( Amoxicillin 500mg; Flagyl 400mg; Cata? 50mg) which I have taken for some days. The pains are still there, and the dentist says the tooth will have to be removed, which I do not like at all! Instead, I have decided to to start brushing my teeth twice a day using Sensodyne toothpaste, and Listerine Mouthwash, twice a day. Doctor, will the alternative procedure that I have prescribed for myself eventually save me from the removal of the tooth, which I very much detest?
