No idea, they weren't linked to anything in my teens, nor in my 20s when I tried to track them again. Last one was years ago.
Could be the huge changes in pressure we had the last few days, as I never kept a track of that before. The only way the barometer could have sunk lower was if I'd dropped it in the fish tank!
Not stress or tiredness: Liebs sleeps ok atm and work has been fine this week so far.
Have you tried a magnesium supplement? While it hasn't killed mine off completely, it has reduced the frequency. I have triggered and non-triggered migraines, so know how frustrating the not knowing ones are!
I think my migraines are hormone induced. My first was when I stopped breastfeeding and went back on the Yasmin combined pill (and boy, was it a doozy of a migraine, ended up in hospital with that one), after that I got one monthly, the day before my period started until I stopped taking the pill. I was migraine free for a while, until getting pg with DD2, and had two early on in the first trimester. I then had another migraine when I stopped breastfeeding DD2. So generally, it seems I get them when there is a huge hormone shift. But yeah, migraines suck.
My migraines were hormone induced, so I went on depo which became my best friend, but then they became strong smell induced, and now they are anything induced. I just had my neck and shoulder worked on for the very first time because I have noticed neck pain before and after migraines. I think the massage therapist was shocked how bad one side (the side I get pain) was all the way down to my shoulder blade. She said "I can tell you've never had it worked on before" ... my bad LOL. I know have exercises to do and I need to let her know in a few days how I am going.
I just said to hubby that I think I will be at the chemist tonight getting my migraine meds because I reckon she has triggered something and I can feel my head getting fuzzy.
Hugs to my fellow sufferers. I should have taken the day off today too. Especially as I received an email telling me off for my thoughtlessness in emailing cover work and going home at lunchtime (boss knew and consented, told me that was what I should do), I should have searched for her. While having a fit (my migraines look like a stroke).
Then an all staff email saying the same, naming no names. So disrupting for them.
So as I had no migraine when I went in to work, I'll start having precautionary days off, right?
Who told you off, if the boss told you to do it? I'd send them a sweetly firm email saying you did as instructed when overcome by a migraine that presents with stroke symptoms. To provide them with more notice would require a crystal ball, and sadly you weren't supplied with one upon graduation.
I had five last weekend - but I must say the thing that stopped it was the imigran injection I give myself. It was awesome and I haven't had another one in a few days!!!
I have been keeping one at bay for the last 4 days. I did take migraine medication at 4am the other morning, but it came back and been living on panadeine forte. Feeling a lot better now.
I shouldn't have gone to the gp. This is not a stroke. In hospital. Noone to say what's going on (typical). Bloods taken, but don't know why. Ct scan needed urgently, but fit over now (been here 1.5hrs) and still no scan. Great. Have to wait for dh to arrive then will self-discharge. Left leg still weak but I can walk on it.
I understand TFB, but I guess they're just trying to be cautious. Because if you catch a stroke early the outcome is better.
I hope you can get home to some dark quiet cosy corner and hunker down to recover soon xx
(Cat, that's great. I'm a fan of Imigran too. Sometimes it fails, but usually it's the difference between hospital and home so it's worth the exxy $$).
