Migraines And Climate Change
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi there
I am greatly impacted by changes in the barometric pressure - temp changes, big storms, etc. This winter has been especially rough weather wise as we transition to bigger and more intense storms. I have good medical care for my migraines but even still, there are more weather days that the meds can't fix. Today in the Northeast we are having yet another "record" storm. I was just wondering if other people are having the same issue? Thank you

Does Work Tend To Aggravate Migranes?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I already lost my career once and feel I'm about to lose it all over again
When the migranes first hit, in 2018, they literally came out of the blue. I was fine one day, than BAM at work the next excruciating head pain, dizziness and nauseau. Shortly after, diagnosed with chronic migranes. On various medical leaves for a yr. Migranes declined a bit but than, the second I went back to work they hit again in clusters. I finally had to resign.

Long story short, took another yr for med… read more

Hi, My Name Is Ana. I Am In NJ.Have Any Of You Read A Book Called “ HEAL YOUR HEADACHE “ From David Buchholz, M.D. Thank You.
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

My migraines are triggered almost 80% by barometric changes. So, I read the book and I did all that the doctor suggested. I stop drinking coffee 100%. And changed my diet.
But since the weather is something that you can’t control. His method is not help me much.
Just want to know any comments.
Thank you.

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

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

Barometric Pressure....how Does It Affect You And Is There Anything You Can Do To Avoid Them?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Yes here in Tennessee it bothers me terribly
