I was journeling my migraines for a while looking for correlations between diet, allergen levels and fluctuating barometric pressure.
For me there was no pattern to what I was eating or airborne allergens.

The only correlation seemed to be the fluctuations in BP, though I did not do a lot of detailed analysis.  But the migraines tended to cluster around rapid multiple changes in increasing and decreasing pressure - more so with increasing pressure and especially with large changes.  So I've had three in the last four days with a plus .05 increase in 12 hours followed by a .36 decrease over the next 3 days.  And I'm expecting a sizeable increase over the next 24 hours.

I am able to control the symptoms with a triptan vasoconstrictor.  Others are not so lucky.

The strange thing to me is the sudden onset for both Harvin and Mixon after a couple of years with no issue.  Suggests other precipitants and a gradual buildup of one or more elements.

Over my head for sure, but it sounds like the triptan solution is not effective unless they had dumb doctors like I did who didn't start a trial with the tripan for years.   I missed a lot of work for almost three years.

Good luck Joe!!!!
