I have chronic migraines with aura which I have been trying to manage for many many years. I have started to experience some other symptoms (balance issues) more recently which I thought was a separate issue. However while doing self research the subject of auditory migraines came up which I was not aware could be a possibility. I am curious if others experience this and what might be an indicator of connection to chronic migraine if it's possible to progress to thos additional symptom (it is… read more

It’s Migraine and Headache Awareness Month! How do you stay positive despite the challenges?

Howdy again, Migraine Warriors. I'm dealing with a symptom that seems to have dual causes & I'm curious who else struggles with it & how they deal with it, especially ways to reverse the effects.

I keep the frig stocked and hired a house keeper but it's the emotional support I miss so much. The hugs and… read more

Anyone have any info on a Daith piercing? I am considering it, but need more information.

I was diagnosed with chronic migraines about 2 and a half months ago. I have tried 4 different preventives and 4 different onsets. Nothing is working for me. I might have to quit my job soon as all I can do most days is lay in bed. I finally saw a neurologist and am now on trazadone which is supposed to help with the depression/sleep and also work as a preventative. And he gave me ubrevely for an onset. I am starting to feel hopeless and everyday I wake up exhausted and defeated. When will
