MsRriO,
Have you every had migraines due to overwhelming odors? I never did before but after my adventures in concussion, I can get bad headaches from certain kinds of exhaust or perfumes. Plus, I somestimes get the wonderful side affect of cognitive dysfunction, where my congnitive function get really foggy, quite quickly.
I'm predisposed to migraines but never had problems until I had this concussion (had my concussion when I was 45) and it has seemed to open the can of migraines. I also found out the same thing with a dentist's local anesthesia. Brain fog. My neurologist said I have a sensitive brain. Yeah, I'd say.
Good luck with this, but also keep in mind what things trigger this for you.
Mike

May 31, 2009: Concussion from syncope due to low blood volume resulting from severe dehydration. Occurred after finishing my 9th marathon. 100% of symptoms cleared by August 2009.
December 15, 2009: Major surgery due to diverticulitis. 6 weeks after surgery, dizziness, fog, cognitive difficulty, anxiety, some panic, lots of headache. These symptoms largely gone, but still cannot exercise above a very low threshold otherwise resulting in severe headache and cognitive fog. Same for overwhelming odors.
Meds: Nortriptyline and Naratriptan as needed to rid severe headaches (exertional migraines).
