    I have a real sensitivity to smells, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products. Sometimes I feel nauseated, other times the pain starts and other times I have visual changes or see lights flashing- if the light is red it is going to be a doozy. Just curious about yours.

    Change in barametric pressure just prior to a weather change. My boss figured it out as I had migraine same time his wife did and I didn't even know her or that she had migraines. He had her tested. It absolutely never failed in 5 years that we had migraine at the same time.

    my Dr has in my chart that they are related to my menstral cycle even though I told him it wasn't. My second migraine occurred when I was 7 months pregnant.

    stress. I use to have pain migraines, now they are silent. I lose vision - in spots and I feel woozie. Then after its over, the ouch comes.

    My sister is hyper sensitive to odors. Happened after she had a total hysterectomy. She can even detect my shampoo! I have to shower and put my clothes out the day before I see her. If she just shows up.... its going to be a headache unless I stay upwind of her. Its hard.
