coping mechanisms that work! (for fragrances, lights, noise triggers)
I suppose no doctor in their right mind would actually recommend these tips but they work for ME!I'm hoping at least one fellow sufferer finds relief this way:
lst: I wear plugs in my nose for the 3-5 hours that I am in my classroom as I can't count on controlling the fragrances. I breathe through nose til out of room. Flesh-colored Machk's earplugs cut in 1/2. I jam them up each nostril I look like Fiona from the Shrek movie but I'm pain free, so don't care. I remove them afterwards w/ fingers/sometimes needlenose pliers.
2nd: I wear sunglasses while watching TV & use my sleeping mask over eyes as hubby fast-forwards the ads. These coping mechanisms are fabulous!
3rd: Sometimes sounds(whirring fans, etc.) set me off so I always have my super ear plugs with me. They are red, very flexible, come in a small case of 12, made by Mach's and available at places like Rite Aid.
These coping mechanisms are fabulous!
Feel better!!!!

Odors normally don't bother me thankfully but I also keep ear plugs in my purse and always close my eyes or at least look away as the TV is fast forwarded. It truly does help.

It's been a godsend. I have been cycling through really bad stiffness and spasticity for a month or so, then weeks of really bad headaches. The strain stopped that cycle. And vaporizing (I don't smoke) only three times a week is enough to keep the migraines away although I have to use it daily when the spasticity is bad.
