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
It first started with my vision when I was driving home from work in mid January 2023. And then early February I woke up one day with excruciating headache and eye pain blurry vision nausea dizziness and stabbing ear pain and ringing in my ears. And it’s been going on ever since. I went to see a neurologist and she diagnosed me with vertigo anxiety and migraine. She prescribed venlafaxine, which I didn’t take. I went to see another neurologist and he said that I have tension headache, anxiety… read more

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

Great do what make life livable
Hi everyone! I have been dealing with Chronic migraines sine my 20's. The Neurologist has me on Zonisamide and increased the dosage but it is not working. I have migraines pret thg much every day and miss work also i am on FMLA at work. I was thinking about trying Aimovig. Has anyone tried this and what experience did you have. Also what about Botox? I am scared to try it.
Did the Botox work better for you than Aimavig? I wonder if you could do both?
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
Bob we’ve heard it. We either believe you or don’t. Stop peddling yourself on this site please.
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
When I get a migraine my neck hurts really bad. I have found a neck brace really helps with the pain. Does any one else have this problem? Has any one else used a neck brace for this too? What else has any one tried that works?
No to the neckbrace but yes to the pain. I actually asked hubby to learn to "stretch" my neck with massage movements. It eases tension in the neck and allows it to stretch like the rest of the body… read more
