By now, most of you have seen my posts about my unexplained headaches for the last 5–6 months. Every few weeks/months, we’ve come up with an explanation and gone ahead with the fix – only to have the headaches continue. I got glasses, got my wisdom teeth out, and got a new script for my glasses, and I’m still in pain.

The ophthalmologist today said he’s clueless.

We’re headed to the MD for some tests early next week.

But lately, I’ve been noticing something weird: my head feels fine outside, but when I come into the house (or any other building, or the car), the headache comes back. Why?
My first thought is that there must be some sort of a trigger in the air in our house. But that’s not it, because it’s in the car and any other building I go in!
It doesn’t wear off after a few hours of being inside, so it must not be the temperature difference.
It comes and goes (it doesn’t go very often any more, though) as it pleases, regardless of what kind of lighting I’m around, so it must not be the lights. (I’ve heard of certain lights giving people migraines.)

What else could it be? This sounds like an allergy of some kind, right? I’m getting kind of desperate for ideas.
