Does anyone else get migraines while they’re asleep without realising it, and then wake up to the worst pain imaginable?
I’ve experienced it a few times, and by that point, aspirin doesn’t work anymore. I can’t move, I can’t lie down—I can’t do anything but sit in a dark, quiet room. It’s truly the worst way to start the day.
I recently figured out that corn syrup is a trigger for me. I can't go a week without inadvertantly eating something with it or one of my many other food triggers in it (you don't realize how many things have tumeric in them.) I've seen some apps for food allergies but none that you can enter in just any ingredient. Has anyone else delt with this?
hello! i’m prone to migraines and have figured out almost all of my many triggers. one of those triggers is glasses. ALL kinds of glasses. blue light glasses, sunglasses, even safety glasses, etc. i have bad eyesight and i need glasses, so i went to an optometrist, got my prescription, and im going to pick up my glasses tomorrow. the optometrist said i need to wear them for at least a week straight, but im almost certain they’re going to give me a migraine. i told my optometrist this and she said i should still wear them anyway. is there any way i can avoid migraines during this time or is there anyone who has gotten migraines from new glasses who can tell me how long it lasted? thank you!
EDIT: i have not received or worn the prescription glasses yet. i am asking for advice preemptively.
I used to think I just got random headaches until I realized half the time it was because I waited too long to eat. The weird part is sometimes I won’t even feel hungry first, I’ll just suddenly notice my head starting to hurt. Anybody else get this?
I know tracking is supposed to help with migraines, but staying consistent is the hardest part i’ll do it for a few days, then stop, then start again it’s not even that it’s difficult, it just feels like too much to keep up with, especially on days when i’m already not feeling great. curious if anyone actually managed to stick with it and what made it work.
I always thought migraines had to involve a headache, but lately i’ve been getting the visual symptoms without any pain after. it’s not super frequent, but enough to notice a pattern. just trying to understand if this is normal or something different.
Over the past few days I started paying more attention to what’s happening before it starts, and I’m noticing something but can’t fully explain it yet. It’s not one clear thing, more like small stuff adding up. Like slightly off sleep, more screen time, or eating at different times. None of it alone feels like a trigger, but together it feels different.
What’s confusing is in the moment everything still feels normal, so I don’t really notice anything until later. Feels like the pattern is there, just not obvious enough to catch early.
Has anyone else had something like this where it’s more of a combination rather than one clear trigger?
