Is it me or them? Odour sensitivity and smoking neighbour in c/menopause

I suppose it could be! Wish he was more of a cookie baker or fragrant flower gardener!

I’d love to hear how you go! I’m about to try to get testosterone again after a doc told me it wasn’t worthwhile. Doing all I can with HRT, adhd meds, and lifestyle but the fog and fatigue are still bad enough that it took me full time effort to complete one subject at uni. Every assignment was weeks late and I still didn’t manage to address all the requirements. Was like trying to squeeze water out of a dry sponge.

Is it me or them? Odour sensitivity and smoking neighbour (self.menopause)

Is this another example of the peri gift that keeps giving?

Not sure if I’m after advice or support or just having a rant or all of the above!

I live in a freestanding house that is driveway width from my neighbour’s house. I can smell cigarette smoke wafting into my house frequently (at least 10x a day) throughout the day and night even when all my doors and windows are closed.

I’ve had smoking neighbours before but have never noticed the smoke. Could it just be that this neighbour smokes a particularly pungent brand or am I now super sensitive to it?

I know I’m going to have to find a way to deal with this, like sealing windows and doors, maybe getting some fans. But I’m still trying to get on top of the mess from a couple of years of debilitating symptoms and this is just one more farking thing.

I’m one of them. I’m finding it so hard to get back in too.

Made it! Finally got past the spinning wheel of purgatory. Thanks for doing this. I’m not against people making money but I think it’s important to remember the big picture and not allow ourselves to be treated like pawns by people who don’t care for us and will take whatever they want from the community if it suits them.
