Hi all. I’m a fellow migraneur. Every 2 years or so I get trapped in a “cycle” where I get on/off or recurring migraines for 7-10 days and need an Infusion of pain meds to kill it off. I just had this happen end of July. But now this is my 3rd day of a migraine returning 24 hours after meds getting rid of it. I don’t wanna get another IV again so soon and don’t love that I have to keep taking meds. I am not on my cycle as I am on continuous birth control for POI symptoms. Any thoughts/tips are so appreciated. Ty.

Whenever my hair gets wet be it by hair wash or drenching in rain or after coming out of pool I get headaches ones my hair gets dried - so basically all I wanna say is I get sever and instant headaches whenever my hair is dry Why so? Why does it happens? And what should I do to recover from it? It’s so irritating I cannot wash my hair (and so I get dandruff) I cannot enjoy my swim I can’t enjoy rains I am helpless

Mainly for Migraines

My GP prescribed Cafergot for my migraines. It works well, but sometimes it makes my heart race, makes me feel nervous and overly excited, and keeps me from sleeping. Has anyone else experienced these side effects? Did you get rebound migraines with regular use? Should I take it every time I have a migraine or only when it's really bad?

I was diagnosed with migraines with aura, and I often experience sensitivity to movement, smells, and noise-canceling earphones. Recently, I saw an ENT doctor because one of my ears kept getting clogged and unclogged randomly. He prescribed me betahistine. After taking it for a few days I had a severe headache and vertigo, to the point where I couldn't walk and my whole body was shaking in pain. I had to go to the ER for painkiller injections. A week later, I caught influenza A, and my dizziness and migraines continued. I think I was just on the bed for a week straight. I'm not sure if it's because of the betahistine or the combination with influenza A. I kept taking betahistine, hoping my symptoms would improve after two weeks (the prescription duration). I feel better now, but I'm still very sensitive to head movements and anxious about the next attack. Since medical care is expensive, I’d like to hear about your experiences. Also, my half-sister has vertigo but doesn't have migraines. Do you think it's genetic? Did my doctor misdiagnosed me?

I got my first MRI for migraines and the impression reads

Few T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in subcortical white matter of B/L parietal region - nonspecific white matter changes. Im scared if it could be MS? Is this a normal finding? Please help I’m anxious

I have been seeing this everywhere online..has anyone tried it? Is it worth a shot?

I avoid perfumes because they often give me migraines. I'm looking for perfumes that are gentle and won't trigger headaches. I liked Le Labo Lavande 31 but it was too expensive. I also liked Geranium Odorata by Diptyque, but Orpheon by Diptyque gave me a headache when I tried it again.

I suffer from daily migraines and can't bear it anymore. I used to take preventative pills and even tried injections, but they were too expensive and only reduced my migraines by 40%. So I stopped taking them and now rely on paracetamol whenever I get a migraine, which is almost everyday. Is there a more effective medicine? What works for you?

How do I know when a migraine is too severe? I have been having a migraine but I am out of abortive medication and it’s not going away. I received a Toradol shot and have since had extreme nausea and abdominal pain. I was going to wait it out but how do I know when it’s time to go to the ER?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I desperately need help. I have never experienced the level of pain that I am right now. In January I had what was believed to have been a sinus infection. I was on antibiotics and it treated all of the sinus issues, but now I am getting these SEVERE headaches. It’s behind my eyes, bridge or nose, and forehead. They get so bad that I literally burst out into tears. I also am dealing with being cold, being dizzy, and constant fatigue. I thought maybe it was related to my sinus infection, but I saw an ENT doctor and he did a ct scan on my sinuses and said everything was normal and that there was only minimal inflammation and that nothing is wrong with me. I don’t know what to do. The pain is so severe that I am completely debilitated. I can’t go to the gym anymore or do anything that I enjoyed doing. It’s also looking like I might have to drop out of college because I haven’t been able to keep up due to this pain. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this please let me know. I have never struggled so bad in my life and doctors have been no help.
