How Much Does The Weather Play A Role With Your Migraine
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can't believe how much better I feel now that the temperature has dropped. There also does not seem to be the big fluctuations in the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The thing that is still messing with my head is precipitation. I know the day before it's going to rain, then it rains and then it takes a day to feel better. That's three days out of my life. Weather migraines are really bad, anybody else have them? In sure lots of us do. Anyone know how to avoid or cope… read more

Muscle Relaxers Given For Migraine Attacks?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have experienced 3 months of constant daily & night-time migraines, which had not happened before, since starting Botox 6yrs ago. I felt the night-time/wake-up with Migraines, are the worst!! Disrupting sleep, so a lack of good sleep!! I thought it was teeth clenching, so I bought a good night-time mouth guard to use. Kind of helped, maybe 60%. Kind of hit or miss relief. Two days ago at my Neurologist's appt. for my regular Botox treatment, we discussed my issues. The Dr. prescribed a 10mg… read more
