Cindy, you know I just posted a "bit" of my story on another topic that I know you posted on too about the neck and head pain that you may read. Well, it mentions that I went to the Michigan Head Pain & Neurological Institute. I am not sure how much or what meds you are on, but one thing I learned there is that there are a LOT of meds that alone can cause headaches, like rebound headaches. I'm sure by now you have heard of those, hey

Here's something for ya.......maybe you won't feel so alone anyways.... I was waiting at my Psyciatrist{of all places} office today who was running behind (
went in with the start of some neck & head pain & pressure, ugh). I was told he was in an emergency situation and may be a bit. I thought I'd be fine, found a corner and rested my head against the wall. Then a lady walked by to use the restroom. Her prefume was so strong it sent me into a sneeze attack. Made my pain escalate SOOOO bad, I lost it. Went to the restroom myself to try to 'gather' myself. I couldn't. I went out and said I had to leave that my pain had gotten so severe and they had to call my husband to come & get me to drive me home. I felt terrible, and almost went to ER, but I knew at home I had ice packs, and a couple meds to try before that expense.
Pretty odd though......as to where I was when I had this little 'breakdown'. Emotional for sure! Had to share, being under the Emotional Issues Topics

As you may tell, I'm doing a bit better now......ice, meds, lay flat, rest for hours.
Take Care!!!
