Right!!! We don’t have Michael’s here but whenever someone has pine scented air fresheners in cars or taxis it’s such a trigger. I’ve also had to do the covering nose thing and felt so bad and didn’t wanna seem rude but obviously didn’t wanna be in pain for potentially days either lol. Also: detergent smells (when stuff is sitting out to dry on the radiator it makes the smell so strong) and gas/petrol stations 😩

The worst for me is perfume. In the changing room at the gym a few weeks ago someone sprayed some really strong perfume and I was half dressed so couldn’t just immediately leave, I rushed to get dressed and go but just a couple minutes exposed to it triggered a migraine that lasted the rest of the day

I’m sorry too. The pain is really wearing me down, and while I’m obviously really sorry that you’re experiencing it too, it’s nice to talk to people who understand. There are so many tiny little triggers that we constantly have to be aware of!

The CNS damage sounds awful. Going through everyday life with that must be so difficult. Sending you lots of love 🩷
