strong smells
I also develop a migraine if I am around strong smelling chemicals including cleaning agents, strong perfumes, potpurri, etc. I usually can tell when I am going to get a migraine after smelling strong smells because it is almost like I get sinus pain around my nose and under my eyes. Then the pain moves to the right side of my head and it is downhill from there. When I put on perfume/cologne I usually put a non-fragrance moisturizer on my skin first where I will apply the perfume and then put on the perfume. This cuts down on the scent and therefore my tendency to develop a migraine from this. Thanks for all of the wonderful information. Jennifer
