Hi , I have constant osmophobia and diagnosis of migraine. ( with daily headache / left ear pain etc ) . Do you have any advice how to manage osmophobia? I have tried botox , ajovy ( so far 7 months ) , nortriptyline. I am v sensitive to oral meds but going to try topamax and hope for a miracle . The osmophobia is so bad that I can get a strong smell from things when others wouldn’t - and it worsens my headache . I can’t go on holidays ( smell from cleaning products) , find it difficult to be in the same room as other people ( can smell the product used to wash their clothes / perfume etc ) . It really affects me being able to relax and spend time with my friends / family . Also difficulty cooking ( smells from food ) . I have been advised by my neurologist that it should settle with treatment, but so far the treatments are not working . I have also tried acupuncture /. meditation / special diets/ vitamins Co Q10 etc . All to no effect . If you had any thoughts , I really would appreciate it . Many thanks
Hi all,
Any fellow sufferers that are triggered by smells? I am wildly sensitive and they’re deep cleaning my office tonight. The last time they did a deep cleaning, I had a really bad migraine for 48 hours. Any tips anyone can think of?
In a normal situation I usually stick some Vick’s under my nose, but that’s really just to deal with someone’s strong perfume for a few minutes at a time.
Before anyone mentions it, I can’t open a window. I work at a bank and they’re all permanently shut and I can’t even prop open the door because people aren’t allowed in the lobby at the moment so we have to keep everything locked!
I’m really, really stressing out. 🙁
Update: I was all ready and prepped for a day of misery! I got to work and... no smell! I’m glad there’s no odor but honestly now I’m worried it wasn’t cleaned as thoroughly as it should have been to disinfect the virus on any surfaces. Guess we will see!
Thank you all so much for your suggestions and support!! ♥️
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
And then shook his arm really fast.
(True story, please groan with me.)
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
It was about a weak back.
