I have had migraines ever since I was a kid and they got worse as I got older., they can run in your family. I can trace the thru 5 generations.
I can relate to most of the things you mentioned, Especially perfume, my son says he gets one every time he gets in a store that has a perfume dept. My Daughter hasn't eaten chocolate in years.
At the onset I take, Excedrine, usually that helps. But when it don't I use the Imitrex Injections.
Don't remember if you talked about drinking water or not, but they say becoming dehydrated can bring them on. I wonder how many times I dehydrated myself when I had migraines, I was throwing my cookies from both ends. (sorry but it's true)
Now I am on 80 mgs. of Indera, as a preventive, it seemed to help alot, at first. but I still need to watch what I eat, how much good restful sleep I get etc. If I dream , I will wake up with a migraine.
Be careful what you watch before you go to bed, bad news etc. can cause you to dream and wake up with a migraine.
