You have my sympathy with the heavy periods - I was lucky not to go through that.
I used to get the funny smells thing, too. Less now, though I cannot abide strong smells if I am close to having a mig, or getting over one. And sounds. And bright lights - all the usual stuff. But it used to be that I'd smell things that weren't there - either that or my sense of smell got so keen that I could smell things others couldn't. My sense of smell had always been very good, even though I was for a time a smoker.
Anxiety has been mu unwanted companion for years. It wasn't until I got to the point where I couldn't work that I understood I had to deal with it. Looking back, I see times when I was a child where I was overwhlemed with anxiety, and throughout my life, lots and lots of times. Depression, too. It wasn't until I went into therapy six years ago that I began to see it for what it was. It makes me wonder. How could I have neglected to see it before then? I lived in writhing, anxious self-hatred for years.
I am grateful that I don't have to take the heavy meads, and really feel for you.
Hvae you tried vitamin B12? Have you tried any of the migraine diets? The supplements? If you want more info, that site I gave you will have it.
I am still feeling icky today, though I am trying to maintain energy.
Take good care.
