Is Anyone Else Using DHE Injections To Get Rid Of A Migraine Once It Has Come On And What Side Effects Do You Get? How Many Do You Need?
I was looking through the list of medications on this site and noticed that the form I take of one is not listed and that none of the members here I have come across yet are using.

Barometric Pressure....how Does It Affect You And Is There Anything You Can Do To Avoid Them?
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.
