[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 55185, member: 2894"] -a lot of kinds of food are "wrong" - it either "gives him a headache", or "tastes bad" -every smell drives him crazy - I cannot clean with any cleansers, or use perfume, or cook certain things -daily headaches (we have just gone on a migraine trigger foods diet to see if the headaches are diet related) This sounds like migraine's to me (being a HUGE migriane sufferer myself). Could be maybe triggered by medication withdrawl??? Who knows. Could be coincidence because he's 16 and hormones are going nutz in his body. Just curious...on the foods that taste "wrong" and "give him a headache"....do they contain artificial sweeteners? Like aspartame, splenda, nutrasweet, sucralose, etc? If it's Diet, Lite, Light, Low Carb, No Sugar Added, Atkins Friendly, etc, it probably does. Those foods are a big trigger for me. Try eliminating those foods (and drinks) from his diet to see if it helps. Strong smells are another big one...cleansers, candles, perfumes, foods, etc. The other stuff....sounds like high aggitation. When I'm highly aggrivated my hair isn't right, my clothes aren't right, and I just want to rip everything off and shave my head. It isn't pretty. [/QUOTE]
