Forgive me for jumping in to your personal business, but my mother started with the very same symptoms several years ago. It started after my folks did a major renovation to their home, including sealing the whole house really tight. Mama went to her doctor seeking relief, and after a couple of months he sent her to an allergist.(Hope that’s the correct term.) To make a long story short, the doctor believes some of our problems are due to a lack of fresh air in our new airtight buildings. Years ago this wasn’t much of a problem, but now the buildings are much tighter and people spend more time indoors. What is tolerable to the body at 1 level becomes an illness at a higher level. Anyway - my folks installed a small ventilation fan for air exchange on the doctors recommendation. It wasn’t long at all before Mama’s migraines and other symptoms disappeared. She no longer has to have any treatment at all. It does make your home less energy efficient, but if you suffer from migraines that is a small price to pay. I apologize for the length, but I saw how debilitating the migraines were to my mother, so I thought I would throw this out to you ladies.(I am assuming you are both women. Sorry if I am in error.)-—JM

Hmm. Interesting. At first glance I’d dismiss that idea since, in my own home, I have no issues (no fragrances permitted) and I can have a headache crop up outdoors if I am near a heavily perfumed person, but I see your point is more about built up over time resistances and lack thereof. Hmm.
