I’m tackling migraines head on (excuse the play on words). Friends and family members have experienced debilitating migraines, and I see how difficult and painful it is for them.
Here’s what I learned prepping for this show:
More women get migraines (three quarters of all migraine sufferers are women). Men tend to have more cluster headaches.
There are different manifestations of migraines (e.g., Migraine with Vertigo, Miniere’s Disease) and different phases of a migraine (prodome, attack, postdome).
Migraine triggers can vary by individual. Some OTC and prescription medications can trigger migraines (MOH- migraine overuse headaches).
Dietary adjustments, exercise and stress management can help you.
