New here

Some times just having a darned good moan really helps-- I am sorry you feel like horrible after a migraine, a little understanding goes a long way.

You will find loads of coping strategies here, hopefully you will find some which help.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had such a tough week.

I often get clusters of migraines - though one specialist did suggest that it was probably the same one but just the meds I was taking wearing off ... which actually seemed to be true when I changed to another med and they changed to every other day rather than every day.

I have a friend who is an artist and although she doesn't get the headaches at all the visual disturbances are totally disruptive to her.

My worst thing isn't so much headache as the spasms I get in my digestive track - those don't happen everytime but when they do it's a question of just lying in bed with occasional dashes to the loo clutching a bowl.

Headache can be really debilitating and the fuzzy head - I describe it as 'thinking through treacle'.

Hi dear

I used to such type of migraine since I was 18 years Los and I'm now 48

My attacks are exactly the same as yours but I can clearly link it to some tpe of food most of the time

Other triggers rather than food could be lack of sleep , some perfumes , stress , strong lights , sometime even pulling my hair or hair style

I used to it , trying my best to avoid triggers , and take my medication right after I start seeing white spots

It is so exhausting , causing fatigue but thank god I'm not getting it daily .

You are not alone in this

I suffered from migraine with aura since I was 12, Tried everything. There were tests being done re hole in the heart, I sent for papers, I was too old for the tests. Even if I did have, I doubt theye would have done anything. It seems I was born with a hole in the heart. The hole was too close to the arteries, theye had to go through the chest. After I had the surgery, hole repaired, I haven't had a migraine attack since. Surgery done 2006.
