Weird, weird, weird, weird sensations.

['andersom']

Dang, while making this topic "good vibrations" sneaked into my skull. I'll evacuate it soon. But it's fitting. It is a weird sensation too.

But what made me make this thread;
I'm toasting bread in a baking pan. And I smell black pudding. Not only do I smell it, I'm kinda craving it.

And that after being a (not completely strict) vegetarian for almost 35 years.

It’s not something that’s stuck on the stove, is it? When I reused a pizza tray the other day, I swore I could smell delicious cake. But I think that was just a craving, cos I haven’t had cake in ages.

I'm sure Weeble could whip you up a vegetarian version.  Maybe with licorice instead of blood?

Eeeeeewwww. Liquorice is nice. But not fried in a baking pan.

Nah, pan was completely clean. Just something in my head happening, triggered by the scent of toasted bread.

Just had the strangest moment a few minutes ago. Was scrolling through TV channels to put a specific channel on, but I got a weird ass feeling about autism-oriented programs on TV. And then as I kept scrolling down, I saw that a documentary titled 'are you autistic?' was just about to come on.

On freeview TV channel 13 (or possibly 14) channel 4 +1 right now on UK TV, just starting if anyone is interested. I had a weird feeling that such a program...well not quite that there would be one on, but just a weird but quite specific sensation of 'autistic program, TV, soon'

Maybe you had a visitor Hyke, or like you said something triggered it.

My grandmother had this thing for mothballs. Used to put them everywhere...I hated it. She even gave me a sweater one time and stuffed a couple in the bag with it when I was around 12, I inhaled them all the way back home to NY in the backseat of the car wondering where the smell was coming from.

I have asthma so I've never had a mothball within 5 miles of here...but every now and then I will smell them clear as day to the point I have to use my inhaler.

Either memories are really that potent or I've pissed her off and she's throwing mothballs at me from another dimension.

Freaky. Will you tell us about the programme when you've seen it?

That's freaky too. A couple of times now I have gotten a whiff of mum's perfume and then she's rung me. I guess it can happen if the person is still alive.

I wonder what visitor would come with the scent of black pudding.

Only one I could think of would be my dad. But he just messes with my socks.

Ex drops by now and then. I checked it with him. When he worries about kid I can smell it.
I just asked him what are you doing around my house that much when I smelled him almost daily.  :lol:

Maybe it is way more mundane. I found out I have a vitamine D deficiency at the moment. Causing fatigue and aching joints all over etc. Was craving other types of meat too.

[renaeden]

I take vitamin D too, mixed in with Caltrate.

I told my doctor I am taking it and I'm sure it's done my bones some good since I had a bone scan in 2014. He hummed and haaahd and said he wouldn't place much faith in it just because they say it's good on tv.

Well it turns out that my hip joint has slight osteopenia and my spine is now normal - both much improved in four years. Take that, doc.

  Licorice is a delicious flavor! My favorite flavor in jelly beans.

  That's excellent!  What caused the initial bone loss, if I may ask?

Yes, it's having Depo Provera injections that causes bone loss. I initially found out years after I had been on it. I asked for its paperwork at the chemist, read it, and there it was. I was peeved that no doctor had told me this information but I started taking Caltrate straight away.

  Wow, I'd be peeved too!  Good thing you got right on the solution! 

[renaeden]

I don't know anyone else who is on Depo Provera, if I did I would be quick to tell them to start taking Caltrate. I might ask my doctor when I see him next if he has other patients on it.
