My daughter has a trigger I had never heard of before. Rain hitting on dry soil always makes her have a migraine. She says it's the smell that causes it.
I've not had a problem with flickering lights, but fluorescent lights, like in stores, often make me feel bad with dizziness, etc.

Interesting about the rain on soil. Has she considered that it may be what I mentioned in my original post... the drop in atmospheric pressure? If it's actually that, it *would* be raining when she gets them.
