Does Migraines really cause Brain Damage?
Does Migraines really cause Brain Damage? I'm just curious. I have bad Migraines sometimes. I've been reading alittle on the internet. I would like a postive a answer from
someone. No, I haven't ask my Migraine doctor yet. It's hard to get a appoitment with him. I had one with him the other day and the office had to cancel. Thanks to anyone.
I believe the article posted on this site indicates that severe migraines over a long period of time CAN cause brain damage. I freaked out when I first read it because I've been having migraines since I was a young child and they have only gotten worse over time. My boyfriend said something helpful when he was trying to calm me down. He asked me if I felt like I had sustained brain damage. I don't, so...the best thing I can do is to keep trying to reduce my migraines. If you only have mad migraines some of the time - I don't know if I would recommend a bunch of expensive tests but I understand that sometimes you just need peace of mind.

Yes. Research is showing that Migraine is a progressive genetic neurological disese that can indeed cause brain damage. For more from recent research, please see Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage.
