Phorlaug[IS] Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 For the last few years I have been running and I am the administrator of a Facebook Page, Migraines. I also suffer from Migraines, I have gained better understanding and control of my Migraines. 70% of what Is on that page I wrote.(after the research I did) I hope your not thinking this is a plug for advertisement, on the contrary. I delete the content and Ban any Seller/user for advertising on our page. Currently there are 1500 followers of the page from 30 different counties. I monitor and respond to almost everyone's topic or PM for help. Why do I do it? Migraines suck! I lot of suffers feel alone, their friends don't understand, their bosses get fed up. Migraineurs depend on each other for support and guidance, It is my hope that I provide some of that for them and myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abysial Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 They Suck. My father and I suffer from them. I am thankfully able to control and mitigate them. My dad is not so lucky. He gets 2 maybe 3 days a week without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have a theory as I suffer them as well. The very first one I had was while driving home from a stressful day at work over 20 years ago. I went nearly blind (very colorful visual), massive pain and a sick feeling post onset. I have had several every week since, although I am in a dry spell and it has been almost 6 months. My theory is that stress (in my case) keeps them at bay. As soon as the stress level in my life subsides the migraines return. Things I have tried to lessen them: Walking Eating Coffee (strong) espresso Regular pain meds don't help... but sometimes will lessen the post headache I am a bit superstitious that even discussing them will cause them to return. As always I may be way off base, Mim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimir[IS] Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sounds familiar. Is the stress thing or the coffee thing the familiar part? Being male most of my symptoms were mostly ignored as I was told migraines almost always happen mostly to women. Perhaps they were cluster headaches, unknown, not measurable transient attacks rate low and are some of the take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning.

Mimir[IS] Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The "Sounds Familiar"is a link. Sorry I misunderstood the reason for this forum. I thought it was to discuss things other than EnB not just link to pages. Got it. Mim . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veganoz Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) To start off i never had migraines but i used to have recurring headaches on a regular basis leaving me in (a not severe) pain for up to half a day since my youth. After a while i had a feeling it could have a relation to products i use or consume. After a little reading it seemed that some people can react badly to scented products. I stopped using and avoid hair gel, scented candles, scented air and car freshners, spray can deodorant and dishwash fluid for the dishes and cutlery. Since then i rarely have headaches and i feel (one of) those were there culprit. Maybe unrelated but worth mentioning, i also have primary raynaud's phenomenon, which turns fingertips pale white and numb sometimes (bad bloodflow). Mostly in cold conditions.
