i'm still wondering why it is i can go for weeks at the time with out having any headache at all, eat whatever i want and it doens't bother me. but then all of a sudden no matter what i eat i keep a migraine.
i did really good for 3 or 4 weeks. ( haven't had an ER visit ofr a migraine in over 6 weeks now) but i am fairly sure that the lull is over.
it also doesn't help that te weather here has sucked all winter. 70 one day, 30 the next, snow the day after and then the day after that its 60. and no amount of medicine is going to help that. i know the doctor really wants me to go the ENT and see about sinus surgery, but i'm not quite ready to accept that fate just yet ( besides there's no guarentee it will help me, so i figure why bother) i did give in and go to the dentist and get a tooth pulled ( month ago and that was in the middle of my 4 week lull) but that didn't rally help.
now i am at the point where we get 2 new managers at work...... so i have to go back through the same ol mess until they learn that 1) i cant help this.... it's not like i want a migraine and 2) that there are certain aspects of my condition that are out of my control. such as the weather, and what types of perfune my customers wear.
so i sit here and wonder several things......... why did my headaches come back after so long.......... why can't we figure out what causes them.......... why do my triggers not always bother me........... and why can't normal folks figure out that i don't like being like this...... and why can't people understand that you don't have to dump a WHOLE STINKING BOTTLE of perfume on before you head out shopping!

hi,
I have a theory: I have heard that migranes are triggered sometimes by changes in weather: the barometric pressure -- from change in one type of weather to the next. I wonder what would happen if you tried to regulate the air in you house with a dehumidifier/humidifier and fan to get the perfect air pressure and then try to stay inside as much as possible.

Hey, don't give up looking for the right doctor. Unfortunately there are too many doctors who are legalized drug pushers now adays. I had lots of allergy problems and was misdiagnosed by over 15 doctors. After giving up, my mother forced me to see one more doctor and I just happened to have gotten lucky. This is an amazing doctor who is very educated, has his own college, with his own students... I can't tell you how much he has changed my life. I feel like a different human being. He has made me more healthier than all the people around me.
Subconsciously, you know what is matter with you and when you find the right doctor who can tell you what it is, it will all of a sudden make all the sense to you in the world unlike when a doctor simply says to have surgery or take this drug. A real solution is a lifestyle change and you will only be able to solve it when you find a doctor who can understand and diagnose your illness for what it really is rather than pushing drugs or surgery.
When I was 22 I started getting very weak, I had no idea what was going on. I thought it was my thyroid, then it was depression, then it was constipation, each doctor said it was something else. I even had doctors say that it was depression b/c I broke down in tears from being so frustrated. Those doctors suck.
Finally when I found the right doctor, he realized that I had parasites... that had led to my condition over 15 years after drinking bad water when I was a child... and now I am perfect and even better than anyone around me.
Don't give up hun, just keep looking and reaching out, do your own research do waht you think makes sense because you know that there are very few people in this world who will look after our best interest than ourselves.

Dear friend,
first of all, you're not alone, I've been suffering continuous migraines during the last 4 years and still didnt find a solution to this.
Don't put the blame on the things you eat, they can help, but they're not definitive. Just try to eat healthy.
As you say, wheather has a lot of influence on headaches, mostly when several changes of atmospheric pressure occur (it happens also to people who doesnt normally suffer eadaches)
I recomend you to put your better smile on you face when you have a bad day (and you know what I mean) because when you are deppressed due to the pain, it gets even worst.
Try to visit a neurologist, since he/she can help you better than anyone. You should begin making a calendar with your headaches, noting the date, hour, duration with and without a medicin and any circumstance you associate to the pain (aura, red eyes, tears or running nose,nausea,photophobia...) it will help your doctor.
Sorry, for my english, I'm writting from Spain, hope my comments help you ;)
