My migraines have mostly gone away now that I exercise regularly. For me it was cardiovascular. I'd see an aura and I'd get ready for the pain when I was a kid. Later in life I discovered that taking a simple Advil as soon as I saw the migraine would head it off. When I was a kid chocolate covered almonds and OJ would almost always hit me with a migraine. I discovered this by keeping a journal of what I ate. Changes in weather could bring them on too, especially if I was exercising hard right as the weather was changing. Bright screens in dark rooms could take a "maybe migraine" and turn it on. I've also found that if I wake up with a migraine that cannabis and Advil will put me to sleep pretty quick, though I decided not to use cannabis anymore because it makes me feel dumb for days and I was never a huge fan anyway.
- trowawy99 8y agoI used to suffer from painful and paralyzing migraines, especially when sunny days took over bad weather. I don't have any anymore. A few years ago, I decided to carry Ibuprofen wherever I'd go and take 400 mg as soon as I felt it would come. Doing this for a duration of 6 months made them become less and less frequent. My father who was also suffering migraines told me he had met a doctor that gave him the same advice but with a more powerful medication (Naproxen) with the same outcome. And I still eat a lot of chocolate and almonds. ;) This trick saved my life, really.
- cozuya 8y agoOddly I had ~quarterly migraines (aura/blindness, the whole thing) every year from age 25-32ish when I got into weightlifting for the first time. Since then I've had maybe 2 in the past 10 years. Didn't know they could just go away like that.
