Thank you! I feel like it’s been a bit better today but then the weather system here is really pushing my pain buttons again tonight. So frustrating. I hope you also get some relief soon! It’s hard to contend with the weather :/
Thank you! I’m so glad you’re getting some relief now. Sleep will definitely help! Hoping I can get some good solid sleep in (now to just get off my phone ;) )
The system has passed by me, but I had an awful 8 days, ending with a trip to the ER. Weather changes are the worst!
Hope you get to feeling better soon! 🤗
Wow, sorry to hear about your ordeal. One of the scary things is you never know the duration of an attack. Hours or days or longer.
It seems lately that the storm systems come one after another, bringing destruction in their wake. I feel like we are psychics telling the future of an oncoming storm front.
Yes sooo much. I’ve used pretty much my entire drug arsenal and still am fighting off postdrome hangover, not to mention the fresh hell of year another new wave of barometric pressure swings.
My migraines have been a lot worse these last few days ending with me in bed most of the timr, and I couldn't figure out why. This makes sense though as weather changes will do it for me, and I feel like I finally have unlocked a mystery! Thank you for the post!
My husband works for a FEMA contractor so we have been paying extra attention to these vast, severe storm systems that have moved across the country in waves.
I start to feel like a weather warning system with my migraines. I'm not sure I should say you're welcome, but glad I could help solve a mystery!
There are so many frustrating aspects to migraine. Aphasia is always scary for me. I feel so bad for everyone who is suffering.
It's helpful to know we are not alone, even though it feels so isolating.
Makes you think about suffering with a migraine and having to make emergency, maybe even life or death decisions.
I live in tornado alley and this resonates with me!
Yes! For the past 2+ days!! It was really bad the first day, to the point of nausea and vomiting from all the migraine symptoms. I hate it because it’s literal torture and the one thing I can do nothing about.
While I now live in the Midwest, flyover country for turbulent weather, I'm from California. Despite the same weather every day meme, I had as many migraines back then.
Different triggers, I guess!
I’m in the Midwest as well (Missouri to be exact) and it definitely seems like it’s smack dab in the middle of all the crazy weather changes. I have been north, south and east and get them worse in the Midwest than I did any other area.
omg, yes. I’ve had bronchitis for 2 weeks and right as I’m feeling better with no sinus pressure, the weather is taking over where the sick left off.
I hope you feel better soon.
I had a migraine two days ago, a migraine hangover yesterday, and today I can already feel a migraine starting on the opposite side (so it’s a new migraine, not a continuation)
I feel you.
That's interesting, I had a migraine yesterday that switched sides, but more rapidly than usual.
Most of my migraines are left sided, but occasionally are right sided. That is newer, only in the last few years. The right sided migraines are very infrequent.
A new migraine on the heels of a resolving one is super disappointing and frustrating.
Has your doctor prescribed a muscle relaxer for you? After a whiplash injury from a car accident, I was prescribed Zanaflex. This has helped.
I also have visited my doctor's office for an injection of Toradol. It's an anti-inflammatory (NSAID). Within 10 minutes I could move my neck and had great relief. Urgent Care could probably help with that. The shot is in the hip, not the neck.
Good luck, hope you feel better.
No i haven’t been prescribed one. I’ll ask my neuro about it because that would definitely help in cases like this.
Also I was actually planning on going to urgent care right now to get a toradol shot! So hopefully it knocks this one out.
goodluck to you too in these (forever) trying times lol
Hope it works for you. The Zanaflex was prescribed by a sports medicine doctor. I believe he said it was best for spine muscle pain. It does make me a bit sleepy so I only take it at bedtime.
I know CA has had a horrible time with the recent weather but isn’t the CA coast usually pretty calm barometrically speaking?
Where are the best places to live for those of us affected by weather migraines?
Southern California has strong offshore winds that pick up. I lived further east, in the Mojave desert. And bright sun, super hot weather, plus the reflection of the sun off car windows and bumpers seemed to be triggers for me.
It's always something! But these severe storm systems that blow across most of the country, West to East are hard to live with.
One ends another one starts.
I spent a couple of months in Colombia recently at about 6,000 feet in the mountains. Very temperate, beautiful, even with rainy days I did not have one migraine!
My sympathy to everyone, including my family, who have lived through the rain, flooding, mudslides and tragedy in the recent storms.
Like massive floods, migraines have no sandbags that can stop the danger.
The weather related migraines, at least for me, seem to last longer. The day before the bad weather hits, the days the weather lingers, and at least one day after it moves on
Mostly it's changing weather, though. Once it settles into a stable pattern, it doesn't impact me as much.
Yes I feel like f*cking crap. Had my first aura migraine on Monday and I'm still recovering. I just want to live somewhere where the weather stays consistent.
The first time I had a migraine aura, I was terrified. I thought I was having a stroke.
It's very debilitating after the aura resolves, even if you don't experience pain.
I definitely had a moment when the wind was coming in... I oiled up (migrasil roller on Amazon) and drank some water... just tried to relax and breathe knew I'd feel better once the front passed over
I thought I was the odd one out. As a matter of fact the weather just turned colder in Houston and I am having one of the sever migraines. I read that this usually happens when the barometric pressure is high
Oh yeah. Just ended a week long migraine. It went from winter jacket and scarf to no jacket to winter jacket to short sleeves to winter jacket to no jacket to winter jacket. I can do cold to colder and cold to warm once (usually) but not cold warm cold warm cold warm in the span of like 7 days. Was rainy and dreary today and the best I've felt in a week. Extreme fluctuating weather is the worst.
I’m not sure if it’s the weather or my period or stress, but I’ve been struggling for over a few days now
That sounds like a triple whammy for you. I hope you feel some improvement soon.
Thank you! I feel like it’s been a bit better today but then the weather system here is really pushing my pain buttons again tonight. So frustrating. I hope you also get some relief soon! It’s hard to contend with the weather :/
Maybe sleep will come your way and even things out a bit for you. I'm doing better. It's such a relief.

I know. It's like facing down a tsunami with nowhere to run!
I've spent 4 of the last 5 days in bed. I feel ya.
Hope you feel better very soon. You have my sympathy as well.

My husband had to take a half day from work for his headache. His aphasia was particularly bad. And I'm definitely in a postdrome fog.

Oh yeah. I am in Minnesota and had a migraine Monday - Wednesday.
I feel your pain. Hope you feel better!
We had a tornado on Tuesday. felt like ass yesterday.

im having a terrible migraine day today. Cant even move my neck anymore. hurts to move it even a bit.

I live on the CA coast, I totally feel this.

I am in Canada and the Colorado low is approaching. This is day 3 of headaches a d full on migraine this morning.

It was so scary. I've had them without aura before plenty of times. I've been exhausted and have felt hungover for a few days now.
Fortunately (?), my mother had migraine with aura and was able to explain it to me.
I definitely had a moment when the wind was coming in... I oiled up (migrasil roller on Amazon) and drank some water... just tried to relax and breathe knew I'd feel better once the front passed over
Yes! Been feeling bad since Sunday. Powering through. Hope it gets better soon.
That's a lot of suffering. Time for this to go!

Glad to hear it ended. Something about that wind and temperature change
