What Type Of Migraine I Have
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

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 didnā€™t add up cause I didnā€™t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech

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

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

Sometimes it looks more like moving grayish flying shadowsā€¦ read more

I am also aware thatā€¦ read more
