Thanks!
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.
Definitely affects and unfortunately I haven’t found anything to offset the effects
I have experienced 3 months of constant daily & night-time migraines, which had not happened before, since starting Botox 6yrs ago. I felt the night-time/wake-up with Migraines, are the worst!! Disrupting sleep, so a lack of good sleep!! I thought it was teeth clenching, so I bought a good night-time mouth guard to use. Kind of helped, maybe 60%. Kind of hit or miss relief. Two days ago at my Neurologist's appt. for my regular Botox treatment, we discussed my issues. The Dr. prescribed a 10mg… read more
The quantity limitations of migraine meds stresses me out!
I am trying to better manage my stress because I think it contributes to my increase in migraine episodes.
A friend, Who also has migraines recently tried GABA and she thought it helped relax her. It’s a chewable form at 100 mg. I did some research and I did not read anything troubling about it.
Thank you for your responses.
I have 2 sets of piercings for mirgraines (in both ears). Has anyone else tried this? Plus I have heard that there is a 3 type of piercing that might help.
Really? I wake up an instantly have the right side bad an I hate taking all these drugs from the dr as trial treatments....would you suggest this??

Despite the shoulder surgery that followed, still the migraines were less often and mostly less intense. I researched Reglan and found that it inhibits Dopamine, and is prescribed for stomach emptying and nausea, even though it carries a black box warning. (Warnings included irreversible TIA a and Parkinsonism) Especially if it’s taken longer than 12… read more
I was diagnosed with chronic migraines since 2012 and always was told there wasn’t much out there to actually treat migraines till this year when a new doctor prescribed me Emgality monthly injections to help prevent migraines. Has anyone else on here used Emgality? If so, what are your results?
I haven't a hemorrhagic stroke but hope yhis helpshave had brain surgery from a meginoma brain tumor. And regular stroke bur not at same time. Hope this helps!
Has anyone used glasses tinted to block blue/green light? My photo sensitivity seems to be getting worse. I were glasses and have prescription sunglasses, but I find it a hassle going form one pair to another and don't like being inside with the sunglasses on. My prescription is expensive and I wear my glasses all the time so buying a non prescription to try is not an option,
I got a the most inexpensive frames and asked for my prescription to be (mid) pink tinted lenses with anti-glare
Not pretty on me, but they do help to block out harsh, glaring blue light. My eyes… read more
