Please tell me what’s worked for your #migraine headaches.

My diagnosis is new but I don’t think the experience is. I just happened to have a very very bad one recently.

Help is appreciated. Please do keep in mind that I’m disabled and have complex health issues. 💜

Evening, Toots! Well, my day started badly- really been battling the #TrigeminalNeuralgia lately, and had a #Migraine on top this morning. But I made it to Art Therapy, and even though the usual person wasn’t taking the class, it was good to catch up with some friends, and the work we dd in class was helpful. And when I got home my birthday present I ordered for myself from Finland had arrived! I might have to wear these fabulous guillotine earrings tomorrow. Thanks to @sinituulia who inspired me to get them - I love them!

I've had a couple of visual migraine /migraine aura episodes over the last couple of days - quite minor and short lived compared to what I've had in the past.

One weird thing is, that I think I'm getting Phantosomia - smelling something that isn't there, in this case a leather-like smell, it's very faint, but it seems to precede the visual symptoms.
As usual the migraine is associated with stress, and as always there's no headache.

If this carries on, I think it'll be a call to the doctor - which I can do without - particularly if I get sent back to the Neurologist again.

I'm actually quite lucky that when I have a migraine attack, I just need to pop one over-the-counter painkiller and wait for half an hour for the flickering to end. Then I'm pretty much fine again.

But I thought I should talk to a doctor when this thing suddenly went from 0.06 times a month to 5 times a month for no apparent reason.

"Every #migraine attack happens for no reason known to science", she said.

Saw a doctor about my sudden 90-fold increased frequency in mild migraines. She wasn't super worried. But she gave me a funny prescription: when the aura flickering starts, immediately micro-dose aspirin. Not paracetamol, not ibuprophen, but actual aspirin: acetylsalicylic acid. No you hippies, not microdose *that* acid.

Aspirin. Sure worth a try.

My entire life I thought I was suffering from #migraine headaches constantly.

#medication does not help them at all which was confusing to me, until I started trying to talk to other people online with severe #tourettes and saw a few TV interviews where they described a similar problem.

They aren't migraines. They're my nervous system freaking out from suppression of tics too much, and look similar.

They are happening less the more I learn to relax in public.
