This summer has been especially brutal. Seems like for nearly a month we have had a low pressure system bouncing back and forth. Some days the barometric pressure changes every couple of hours. It rains or storms for hours day and night. Not just our usual summer rains
I beginning to feel like I can’t get well. Bright sunny days I feel wonderful. But then it’s right back. Foggy eyes, big head feeling, neck pain. Just wondering if it’s just me or are the other Florida miagraners feeling it… read more

Jeanne, I've had the same problem here in South Carolina... and to quote my Neurologist I can't control the weather... and we've found that weather is one of my biggest triggers... I just keep my meds handy when I know that weather is in the area... I know that's not much help but that's what works for me...Our summer was pretty brutal as well... between pressure changes associated with rain/storms in the area and just isolated rain /storms triggering my migraines...So you're definitely not alone...

Fiorcet is the one medicine that can actually stop the miagrane for me in advance. I can continue on with my day without side effects. And without the nasty bruising nsaids cause us older people.
Living on the coast the barometric pressure changes constantly sometimes back to back (ex: moon and again at 1). Qulipta eliminates the pain but not other symptoms. All 3 of the newer drugs Qulipta, Umbrevly and Nurtec give such lower stomach pain I can’t walk. The doctors reply is always “hmmm never heard of that before”.
Due to a sensitivity to many drugs I am afraid of any injections or iv’s that take days to wear off.
But Florida is one of the states that regulates Fiorcet ( I have used them 35 years) and know the difference between a miagrane and rebound headache.
Please just leave my medication alone.
Best of luck to you on your journey

I always know when a storm is coming but when it's a tropical storm or a hurricane comes oh dear lord and I am only allowed 8 nurtec a month.. it's never enough... 10 ubrelvy a month (stopped) but even when I was only actively talking 30 or less a month of the fiorecet they decided to let me suffer..

Thank you Nickolas. I saw my neurologist yesterday as was basically told the same thing. But she reassured me that I wasn’t alone many of her patients are feeling the same way.
My God bless you on this journey,

You're not alone in experiencing these weather-related migraine symptoms. Coastal areas like Florida often experience more volatile weather patterns and high humidity, which can lead to frequent barometric pressure changes. The symptoms you're describing - foggy eyes, head pressure, and neck pain - are common reactions to these atmospheric shifts. Here are some strategies to help manage migraine attacks during weather changes:

• Stay well-hydrated, especially during hot Florida weather
• Practice stress management techniques like meditation or deep breathing
• Track your symptoms alongside weather patterns to identify trends
• Consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake

• Get enough rest when you feel a weather-related migraine approaching
