I'm curious to know if anyone is doing research into weather conditions affecting migraines. My husband noticed that many times, I get a severe migraine attack when there is a significant change in the weather. Living in Springfield Mo. (the heart of the Ozarks where if you don't like the weather, wait a day, it'll change) certainly offers me no end of changes in weather conditions. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Weather conditions?

I whole heartedly believe that when the weather gets bad so does the pain. My migraines, the daily headaches, as well as my Fibromyalgia are aggravated by the cold, damp weather. I live in So. California so I don't suffer as long with this, but I do remember when I lived in Springfield, Mo., as a child, the constant change in weather would aggravated my ocular, as well as my regular migraines. The months that the weather is bad, in San Diego, I am permanately attached to the space heater till April. During the winter I feel like I have a constant "toothache" in my whole body, as well as an increase in the early morning migraines. I know words can't make your suffering go away, but may you find the strength to hang on for those beautiful sunny days.

Yes, change in weather does cause a migraine to come on. If I go from Air-conditioning to HOT temperatures, I will get a sudden migraine. Or vice-versa. It's really weird. But, it is a trigger. There's not a lot you can do, if you have to go out. But, on hot days, I would try to avoid the heat.
Good luck.

Yes, weather can be a migraine trigger. They are not for me, but they are for many people. Toward the top of the screen you'll see a bar for "Mange", click on that and you'll see a drop down menu that include Migraine Triggers. In that area you'll see inforamtion on migraines triggered by weather changes.
