Default Anything that smells good

Any type of perfumes, flowers, etc gives me severe migraines. I am also allergic to seafood,pollens, grass,hay, just a royal mess.

I feel your pain my dear.... I take allergy shots and they actually work for me. Now they don't work for foods that you are allergic to... no matter what they say...
I am allergic to weird things like tuna, chicken, carrots, peas, lobster, crab, chocolate, etc... Now I just break out in hives if I eat too much of these things, while other people have more severe reactions. I have to watch what I eat. I alternate things and that helps. But the pollen, trees, fur, etc. I take shots for and I am doing rather well. Purfumes I really don't wear anymore because sneeze all the time with them. So I use body lotion. Hehe.
I also get migraines... allergies probably are a cause. What helps me is eating apples that are sweet smelling. Both the fruit and the scent ease it for me.

Have you had your blood pressure checked? Getting migraines often is pretty serious and your chance of a stroke sky rockets.

Yes I am on BP meds and they also put me on Topomax for migraines. What a wonder drug that is for me.
