Dose Bumping Your Head Or Simply Brush You Hair Trigger Migraine?

Yes. If I bump my head, or wear sunglasses like normal against the head, then I get a headache. I must be the only one who puts the sunglasses handles on the outside of my ears! Lol but it's what I need to do. I also can't wear headbands long. But brushing my hair doesn't bring on a migraine but definitely couldn't do it if I already had one. I find it bothersome to have long hair ,it helps if you have shorter hair. Less to brush. And less snarled.

I have never been able to wear headbands due to the pressure causing a headache. I have to keep my thin hair short to keep the headaches away as well.

Oh my goodness Rose7!! You're the first person I've ever come across that cannot wear headbands either!! I've ALWAYS thought i was a freak. I've worn them thru out my younger days but for short periods. Tight sunglasses hurt if they hit those certain spots on my head too.
But I've ALWAYS had long thick hair. It hasn't been until the last few years that it's REALLY gotten to me. But i think its more my fibro that's effected by my hair. Not my migraines. I've been told by EVERYBODY that the weight of it could be exacerbating my migraines tho. In 2015, i shaved the underneath & kept the top long just to give myself a break. Now it looks like my hair isn't as long unless i let the top down. Lol. 😁
