Do you have any smells that trigger your CH?
What are they?
Perfume and farts  trigger me - seriously
Sense of smell...
Airborne chemicals interact with both first and fifth cranial nerve receptors; with cranial nerve I the result is aroma, with cranial nerve V the result can be irritation and discomfort in subjects predisposed in unknown ways. The irritant reflex from somatic sensory nerves results in neurogenic inflammation, which can mimic the nflammatory response of atopic allergy

This is the only part of the brain that projects into the atmosphere.
this is talking about the sense of smell

your sense of smell doesn't sleep. The only sense that keeps guard while you are asleep.

No scent triggers, but the sense of smell is interesting.
If you haven't yet read Diane Ackerman's book, "A Natural History of the Senses", do so if you get a chance. It has a very readable and interesting section on the sense of smell.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Thank God farts don't trigger...I live with two male people who have, yes, farting contests. OMG I would not be here now....
diesel, gasoline, nail polish remover-don't exactly trigger but I react strongly to them and, oh okay, guess they do trigger-also really sweet perfumes or after shaves.
But not farts.
However, perhaps this would be a good strategy for me to end the flatulence wars..."you guys have to stop this insanity-it's triggering headaches" Hmmmm...
gonna give it a try.....
Thanks
PFDAN y'all,

I never thought smells triggered me until I went to a BBQ at my brothers house last summer and he had lit a lot of those citronella candles around the table to keep bugs away. I no sooner sat down, took a few breaths and wham-bam..I got hit hard and so fast that I knew it wasn't just a regular hit that I would have gotten regardless.

Thanks all for the input.
For me it's not only the smells, but while I'm in a headache I have to avoid breathing through my nose to stay of kip10.
I guess triggers are an indivilual thing and have not much to do with the headache itself.
Interesting to see those with smell triggers leans toward the alcohol / volatile chemicals. -
- oh and hydrogen-sulfide-nitrogen rich 'gas'

I announced to my husband and son last night that the farting contests must stop as they may trigger headaches. After 15 minutes, when they could both speak again after rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically, they both in unison asked "What about belching?"
Help me...I am surrounded by aliens....

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

The perfume aisles in department stores and the soap-detergent aisles in the supermarket are places I can't stay in for more than about 60 seconds before "that feeling" starts.
Oh yeah, any place where one of those stink-butt flavor candles is burning.

Smoke is about the only smell that triggers mine that I know of and I'm not sure if that's a smell or not, but I can't be around when someone's burning things. Even smoke from chimney's give me a shadow.

Some colognes and perfumes trigger one for me but I have to smell them for a bit of time. Someone just passing wearing too much wont do it. I usually wear no cologne whatsoever while in cycle.

When episodic bleach and strong perfume triggered me everytime without a doubt........... I esp hated giving up bleach cause I LOVED the smell of a nice bleach cleaned house. I actually have taken a chance a few times this past year and tried cleaning with bleach again and it wasn't a trigger at all so far ... don't know if it's cause I've been chronic for a while or just coincidence. Some strong perfumes still give me a shadow...which sometimes develops into a full ch and sometimes not.

When I'm in a cycle the beast comes like clock work. But stuff like beer and wine really do me in as far as pain goes.
