Thumbs down Anyone else suffering from migraines right now?

I haven't had this long a streak of migraines since I lived in Winnipeg. I think it may be the weather or who knows but this last 2 weeks I've been suffering with migraines almost non stop.

Yup, and it blows. Not for two weeks but certainly the last few days for sure.

Yeah, me too. Not bad ones, but frequent and annoying.

I get bouts now and then. I'm sure if I kept a journal I could get rid of some factors but I never seem to do it. Advil liquid gels help a lot. Good luck I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

Usually fixes it for me...

Only down side is that I usually have another one the next morning, so I have to keep re-applying the cure.

I find the best thing for it comes in the form of a plant and you don't even need a prescription for it. You just have to know someone.

Funny, I've suffered with migraines for years, but I haven't had one for months. For a while there, I took a feverfew tablet every day, but I've been off that for over a month.

Yup, I get weather triggered migraines and they are brutal this time of year! My choice of weapon against them, two T3's and a shot of NyQuil.

It's not a tumor



Seriously, though. I had a headache that wouldn't go away a couple of years ago. Lasted the better part of two weeks. Had a CT scan, spinal tap, they never found a damn thing. Since then, I rarely get them. Mine are more stress based instead of weather based (thankfully! I have no idea how people who get Chinook headaches can continue to live here).

I get a migraine every month or two but have been okay for a couple months now. Mine are weather triggered too. Usually when the pressure changes outside. And the car headlights..... must not look at the headlights. People think it's funny but my back actually starts to hurt when it's going to rain. I'm a walking weather station.

I dont have a migraine but I do have a headache. Started last night and has continued through today. I rarely get headaches but must be a weather thing if so many people are getting them in recent days.

I get ocular migraines, but only when I don't have food all day, or don't get enough sleep, which doesn't happen that often. Last one was half a year ago, and before that 2 years ago. I hate getting them, but I'm happy that I can at least control them, kind of.

I used to get terrible migraines as a kid. If I didn't get enough sleep for a couple days, I would be completely out of commission. I just couldn't function with the headache I would get. I'll still get the odd one (especially if I get hit in the head...took a couple bad knocks when I played hockey that I never recovered from 100 percent) but nowhere near as bad as when I was younger.

And then of course there's the Friday Flu or the Sunday Splitter. But those are self-induced, so I can only complain about those to my friends.
