In response to:
Jhona, "Barometric Pressure Migraines" aren't a type of Migraine. They can be Migraine without aura, Migraine with aura, hemiplegic Migraine, any type of Migraine. Barometric pressure is the trigger for many people. Migraine types are categorized by the type of symptoms and, in some cases, the area of the brrain most affected, not by what triggers them. Otherwise, we'd have food Migraines, sleep Migraines, perfume Migraines, etc. Does that make sense.?   Barometric pressure changes are one of my worst triggers. As we've found more effective preventives for me, they're helping prevent even those Migraines triggered by barometric pressure changes. Nothing is going to prevent all of them, but I'm finding that what prevents many of my other Migraines prevents those too. I'm not sure what you mean about your neuroilogist "trying hard to get Migraines listed, identified as a braind disorder." Do you mean with the Social Security Administration for the purposes of disability benefits? Migraine is considered a genetic neurological disease by most people in the medical community. Some people have been successful in taking Diamox when they know a weather front that is likely to trigger a Migraine is coming. Maybe you could discuss this with your doctor.   Teri
