Coffee Cigarettes Migraines


How to have the brighter brain in the middle of a migraine is almost impossible.
When my head is hurting and ready to explode the farthest thing on my mind is how smart I am.  In fact I am pretty much thinking how stupid I am for having the migraine in the first place. That is of course if I can concentrate long enough to think about how stupid I am for getting the migraine in the first place.
There are many things that will trigger a migraine but unless you know what triggers the migraine it is hard to correct the problem. I am slowly ruling out different things that trigger my migraines and I am coming to the conclusion that coffee smell and cigarette smoke smell are definitely some of the culprits.
I tried everything to get rid of my migraine. Nothing worked for three days.  I was vomiting, blind, nauseated and could hardly stand up without my head feeling like it was going to explode.
I love to gamble but every time I go into a smoke-filled casino I leave with a headache that turns into a migraine.
I hate coffee but most of the people around me drink that foul-smelling black tar.
Where I work they are always making fresh coffee.  Fresh coffee is a death sentence to my head.
I spent three days over 4th of July weekend with a migraine and finally on Sunday I got it to go away.  I have been feeling good. But, when I went to work yesterday someone was making fresh coffee while I was on my break and I took one whiff of that coffee smell and immediately my head started to hurt.
I got up and went outside to get some fresh air and along the way I grabbed some Tylenol and a coke to drink.  My headache stopped once I got outside.
If I would not have gone outside I am sure I would have had another migraine from hell.  The smells of coffee and cigarettes are just horrid to my tender body.  In fact I do not let anyone make coffee in my house nor do I let them smoke.
Learning what is causing my migraines is my goal right now and I am figuring out that coffee and cigarette smells definitely trigger headaches that turn into painful migraines.
