Hi all
Am new to migraines. Am 42 years old and 3 months ago had first one. I thought I had heart attack. But things didn’t add up cause I didn’t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech
Luckily I had morphine left over from kidney stone I had month before migraine attack. But morphine didn’t work. Had to take Advil and Tylenol too. Than I fall a sleep and when I woke up I was just tired but head was fine.
I went to fam doc for something else and at the end I mentioned headache and… read more
My one hemiplegic migraine was the scariest time of my life! What would happen to my 10 yr old? Who would care for him? Etc. Couldn’t even manage a gown for going to CT. Too sick w vertigo, confusion… read more
There is no pain. There is no pain. The problem is vertigo and dizziness.
It’s good to hear everyone’s shares. I can’t believe this is happening and I can’t fix it. Vestibular migraines
My migraine triggers are barometric system (weather change) I get the migraine two days before the system arrives, once it arrives just like a snap of the fingers it’s gone! I live in WI
I’m looking to relocate for retirement (I thought AZ?)
I am on disability due to migraines. I am very sensitive to barometric pressure shifts. I live in Utah. Last year the storms were horrendous. I asked my doctor where he would move to for… read more
That I can have a headache without much pain. Sometimes it is more the vertigo or feeling a little woozy in the head.
My migraines are definitely triggered by the barometric pressure going down. It doesn't seem to bother me when it rises. I live in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada region and we have the worst BP changes in the country. Used to love the Chinooks over the mountains as it brings warmer weather but now that I have migraines, I dread them.
I get one almost every time the B. Pressure changes. If I take a ubrelvy as soon as I get the first sign of a migraine I can avoid severe pain. Just have the "dull" pain/pressure
I can't believe how much better I feel now that the temperature has dropped. There also does not seem to be the big fluctuations in the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The thing that is still messing with my head is precipitation. I know the day before it's going to rain, then it rains and then it takes a day to feel better. That's three days out of my life. Weather migraines are really bad, anybody else have them? In sure lots of us do. Anyone know how to avoid or cope… read more
Indeed. The migraine is bad enuf but the post migraine fatigue can last days for me. Drag!
I have had five dizziness episodes with my migraines at work 2 at home
Hello,
After a long journey, I think we are finally figuring out that I have been experiencing silent migraines for just over two years now. I am new to this group and still have lots to learn. Does anyone know if MRI scans usually indicate whether silent migraines (or any other type) have been occurring, or do neurologists tend to diagnose them based on symptoms and medical history alone?
Thank you,
Janessa
My experience with silent migraines is that I pass through the other three phases of migraine, but my body skips the pain step
My symptoms started two years ago. I started with shoulder pain, which… read more
When I got nurtec approved for everyday as prevention, it did not work for me. Very strange, but that’s how migraines are for me. Nurtec as an abortive will usually help me.
