Where Is The Best Place To Live With Less Barometric Pressure Systems?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 too am a person heavily triggered by a drop in the barometric pressure prior to a storm's arrival. I kiddingly refer to myself as a human barometer because it can be a gorgeous day but for me if a storm's at least 2 days away I'm in agony. Which just intensifies the closer it gets. I get a very little bit relief once it passes, but it's more like a migraine hangover day spent wiped out from it. This has been my life for the last 52 years!!! 😪. I have 4 college degrees & live near the poverty line due to being totally & permanently disabled by these damn migraines 😫.

I’m a weather migrainer. I left Seattle (Whidbey Island) because the weather is killer for migraines there, and tried Tucson. It was just as bad. A headache specialist there said if a city has lots of headache clinics (Tucson does), avoid it! Miami and San Diego and Honolulu are supposed to be good. There’s a list you can google, best and worst places to live with migraine.

We need solutions for headaches not descriptions of headaches!

So sorry to have to tell you this but AZ is not any better for barometer triggered headaches. We're there for 6 mos. in the winter and early spring. I can feel the storms when they come in from the Pacific Ocean...sometimes 3 days in advance! So...the crazy thing is it can be a perfectly beautiful day and because of my headache I can predict a storm coming! I have to be careful to not sound like a pessimist.

When I’m on Vacation at the Ocean I feel so much better. It’s definitely the Salt Air and Steady Temp.
