I have lived in MI for 10yrs and Orlando, FL for 16yrs. Had migraines in both places, they seem to be influenced by weather a great amount of the time.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and find that my migraines are worse when it rains. I have read that high pressure systems can affect migraines. I feel the low pressure of the clouds makes them worse. I can feel the pressure on my face and head and that generally triggers a migraine.
I have also found that when I visit places that are dry I don't experience as many migraines.

You're very welcome, Kimberly!
Weather changes are my worst trigger, but I just can't bring myself to leave West Virginia. I was born here and love it. I have found, however, that my preventive regimen is sparing me even most of the weather-triggered Migraines.
Best,
Teri
Teri,
I live in Massachusetts. I too suffer from migraines triggered by weather changes but haven't found any med that helps so the only thing I've been taking is pain medication. I would be most grateful if you can tell me what your preventive regimen includes?
