We don’t have Craigslist in Hungary, but we have a newspaper for classified ads that posts the ads online as well. I could search that to see if anyone’s advertising something. My landlady has a steam cleaner and has said I can borrow it sometime.
I always take off my shoes at the door, but the cats get hairballs (I give them special treats to cut down on hairballs, which seems to help, but not 100%), and accidents happen, so some sort of shampoo might work.
I wrote a small program in PHP/MYSQL for keeping track of my migraines. You list what you ate that day, what (and how much) you drank, how much you slept and between what hours, pain levels, other complaints, and a few other things. It keeps track of your menstrual cycle as well (if you’re doing it every day, there’s a checkbox to check on the first day of the cycle). It then lets you sort by any of those criteria so that you can look back over the data and try to make sense of it. It’s not hosted online anywhere (i was never done tinkering with it, and i never added anything like a login form or support for multiple users, so you have to have a server with php and mysql set up on your computer to run it. I kept track of it for a while, but then started forgetting more and more and I had no idea how to analyse the data I’d amassed (and probably would’ve needed more data anyway). Also, I wasn’t sure if I was asking the right questions (or enough of the right questions). A big source of my migraines was the bad mattress I was sleeping on, which wasn’t even in that data. Getting a new mattress earlier this year helped a lot, but things have started to get bad again (though now at least, I know I’m sleeping well on a good mattress).

Maybe the problem was the stuff living on the mattress, rather than the mattress itself. And now it’s grown back.
Well, here’s one solution that may solve a couple of your problems. Redo your migraine log such that you can have individual logins/tracking, then wrap a social community around it. Crowd source (to use a buzzword) your migraine issue and figure out a way to both help others and have others help you.
There will be no simple way to analyze your data other than to sit down and look for patterns. Play with different ways of looking it it.
Heck, it COULD be related to your not eating enough. Low blood sugar is one headache trigger (for me), and chronic low blood sugar plus smoking could EASILY be a problem.
Looking down thread it very well could ALSO be a mold or other environmental issues.
If you’re planning on moving out of the country in a year or two, what is the possibility of you just going to live with your mom or sister until your visa/travel arrangements are fixed? This may alleviate your financial problems (you can always pay your mom/sister “rent” but it will be less than you are paying now), get you into a cleaner place (which might clear up some of your health issues) and get you to a point where you focus on quitting the smokes (which is about the toughest thing I’ve ever done, to include US Marine Corps boot camp and a year in Baghdad).
