Smell

Yes I can totally relate. I can barely handle any smell. It is used to be strong perfume, nowits any perfume, even a perfumed lotion will do it. Its tough because you cant control the rest of the world! Air fresheners I can't deal with either. Once I had my car cleaned during the day at work by a new guy (not the regular car wash person) and he used that smelly stuff in my car. Well when I drove home, I got one of the worst migraines ever.  You have to be really careful.  i just try my best to avoid it and explain to those people around me (that I can) what happens to me. Good luck to you!

Most people are extremely sensitive to odors, sounds, and lights during a migraine.

I get so incredibly cranky sometimes because the littlest things hurt...someone in the other room watching tv too loudly, smells of someone else's lunch, bright lights on, and you can't turn them off...(at work or someone else using them)

Then I get mad because I know I shouldn't be grouchy...but when the migraines hit with all their little "extras" I just can't help it!
