How Much Does The Weather Play A Role With Your Migraine
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

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 copeā€¦ read more

Does Anyone Have Experience Taking Low-dose Neurontin For Migraine Prevention?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I took low-dose Neurontin (100 mg) at night for about 20 years for nerve pain not related to migraine. I had infrequent migraines before and during those years with neurontin
I stopped taking the Neurontin about three years ago

Triptan Overuse Rebound Headaches
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?

I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologistā€™s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I donā€™t take them, Iā€™m in excruciating pain and amā€¦ read more
