Do you have access to one? I'm guessing if you did, you would say so. I believe, as said above, that you need to be treated separately by neurology and, potentially, psychiatry. In my case, there is a… read more

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.

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.

Some people have luck with gabapentin; personally, I hate the way it makes me feel. I have had some success with Botox, CGRPs (e.g. Emgality), and with a Cefaly, which is a neuro-stimulator, and THC… read more
