Yes!
It’s as though using the word ‘migraine’ immediately translates to ‘headache’ and that’s the end of the conversation. Unless they have experienced it.
And even among those of us who experience migraines, we can have very different symptom patterns.

You are so welcome, Lauren.
Isn't it horrible we go through all this and some people think it is "just a headache"?

Hi Anna,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply.

Fatigue is part of my prodrome phase always, but is also part of my postdrome. Fogginess during migraine and postdrome.
I get eye pain with the migraine and sometimes lose sight in one eye. I get neck pain and stiffness prodrome and with the actual migraine.
But I have also had all these symptoms and others without the head pain. I think it is all migraine days.
I do admit fatigue also comes with my heart failure diagnosis. And neck pain with my arthritis. But I can usually tell what the neck pain is from. And if I have several of those symptoms together I know the head pain is coming.
But I understand where your coming from ,not knowing what symptom is from what. With age we often have a lot going on.
