SPEAKER 1: The main sensorial
triggers of my migraines
usually are smells, odors.
For instance, some perfumes
I would be wearing in the past I
can't wear anymore.
SPEAKER 2: Some light--
you look at luminous things
and they bother you.
They hurt your eyes--
as well as sound.
SPEAKER 3: If I do not have
a hat on or a visor, which I
wear pretty much 24/7,
the sun will beat me down
and trigger a migraine.
SPEAKER 4: I also am very easily
triggered by red wine.
SPEAKER 5: Smoke
from cigarettes-- so I will try
to avoid going to bars
that people are smoking
because it would trigger
a migraine for me.
SPEAKER 2: It's very
uncomfortable because you never
know-- at night, when I'm
driving,
I never look
at the incoming headlights
because I know that if I do,
I might get a migraine while I'm
driving.
SPEAKER 6: I really avoid a lot
of things.
We don't have a doorbell.
My phone never rings.
We don't have a home phone.
We don't have, really,
television or cable.
I don't like a lot of sounds.
SPEAKER 5: And I think part
of it is trying to not make it--
so be aware to avoid it but not
to take over what you end up
doing every day
so you can live a normal life,
not always obsessing
about those things.
