I get migraines. They hurt, they suck, they make me nauseous, I've passed out before.
One of the main triggers is scents (flowers - especially lillies, perfume, strongly scented shampoos/deodorants, air fresheners... you name it). Usually, if I wake up with a migraine, I can take meds, but I'll tend to stay home because the smells outside the house make it pretty much impossible to function, whereas my house is fairly smell-proof (avoid the bathroom and kitchen, and there's nothing perfumed).
Today, though? I have a cold. I can't smell ANYTHING.
The migraine meds kicked in. And they work. Completely. This is BRILLIANT.
