Digestive problems can indeed be associated with migraines. For example, some people with migraines find that oral medications don't absorb well due to conditions like gastroparesis, which prevents proper stomach emptying. In such cases, alternative routes of administration, like nasal sprays, might be more effective. If Show Full Answer

Digestive problems can indeed be associated with migraines. For example, some people with migraines find that oral medications don't absorb well due to conditions like gastroparesis, which prevents proper stomach emptying. In such cases, alternative routes of administration, like nasal sprays, might be more effective. If your migraine medication causes difficult side effects, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider about trying a different treatment. They can review the possible side effects of new treatments and find a suitable option for you.

I am always nauseous, I haven't felt hunger in so long it's scary. I did once a few years ago after an acupuncturist appointment and I hadn't felt that in so long it took me a while to figure out what it was. But I am back, just once in over a decade having felt hunger. I like the taste of food, but not don't feel hunger. My husband gave up asking me if I wanted to eat and just brings me food. I am vegetarian as an aside.
Partly I think due to migraine, well a lot, but also I was poor as a child and sometimes there wasn't enough food, so I even as an adult before chronic migraines if I got hungry and didn't eat within 20 minutes the hunger just went away.
But being nauseous, and I hate throwing up, I just stopped feeling hunger at all.
Thankfully my husband is an amazing cook and loves to cook. When he is away I have to set reminders to eat.

My stomach issues have gotten so bad. I was vomiting once minimum daily for A YEAR!! It has calmed down tremendously. I'm thinking due to not being on all the meds. Sucks!
