Been having migraines since I was 6 - quite often triggered by fluorescent lighting - in some shops and offices and sometimes triggered by coffee! Also getting more frequent migraines - aura especially due to menopause - bleugh!

Been having migraines since I was 6 - quite often triggered by flourescent lighting - in some shops and offices and sometimes triggered by coffee!
Had to change lighting in kitchen because it was flourescent lighting

food, hormones, lack of sleep, stress, um those lights that supermarkets use can sometimes trigger an attack.
sometimes they can just happen for no obvious reason :mad:
i do hear eating saltly things can help ad drinking water.

Sleep can cause a headache .

I had a 2mg of valium last night ,four beers and two glass,s of wine . I was fine when i went to bed , infact i felt great:yesyes: but when i woke up i had a stonkin headache .

I can only presume it was the sleep

[missykat]

haha glad someone felt great :D i was too busy googling lol!!! and forcing myself not to randomly do body checks :lac: wen i woke up i checked instantly, dont know why i did tho becuz it only just makes ya worse off :mad: so me tonight im having a beer yee haw

[Greenman50]

i,m on beer number two:D, i only bought four so i,m not tempted to drink more :yesyes: .

I always feel my best in the evenings , worse in morning and pick up slowly as the day goes on .

[missykat]

i feel my worst in the morning! seem to calm down during the day but it hits me again as it gets darker. im only ever happy and safe wen im asleep lol or busy. been idle does not help or does having access to the internet help either :wacko:

[Greenman50]

must admit i,ve been sleeping in day , just to switch off :blush: I need to get back to work on monday , i,m going to organise 4.5 hours work and just do it . these last 3.5 months can,t turn into another 3.5 months or i will have no buissness left , then i,m in real trouble .

Easier said than done :ohmy:

The last 3 I've had have all followed exercise (netball matches), so I wonder if its exertion, dehydration or lack of sugar for me. :shrug:

[missykat]

cud be. my sister says hers all start wen shes on a diet or excersising!

[Catalyst]

Actually that's a good point! I don't get them every time I play netball matches & I do often have fad diets (very low fat intake - so no dairy or fatty meat). Its quite possible that the diet combined with the exercise is the trigger!

these vitamins from america have helped the dizziness and migraines by about 80% over the past 6 months. i get them shipped to the uk from america. expensive but worth every penny:
