i have had migraines for as long as i can remenber, i take topamax on top of what ever pain pill will do the trick now taking relpak. about 6 months ago i started getting smells cigarette was the most common but on one was smoking and no one smokes around here the other is a dirty chemical rotton water smell hard to discribe. the stronger the smell the stronger the headache,also have tingling in my hands and feet with the migraine.  i went to the Dr. had a ct scan came back normal now i am waiting to go see a nero it takes a while to get into see one where i live. just wondering is anyone else has had any of these smells and do they stay with you, is this just another migraine thing?   

little worried

Hi Carolyn, welcome to Healing Well. I am glad you are going to see a Neuro, and hopefully he/she will be able to give you some better info.

I have had migraines for a long time too, and I smell things that are not there - it is usually smoke or cigarette smoke but there is nothing there!!! - but I have never known why that is, maybe cos I have not asked!! lol - but my phantoms smells are at different times to the headaches and as far as I can tell are unrelated.

Sorry I cannot be of more use to you, but I will be asking now you have brought this up!!!! - please post and let us know how you get on.

take care Ann.
