Well then this sounds like a real thing that I didn't know about.

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!!!!
Doesn't sound over your head at all lol
Thanks for your post 3wt, I didn't know any of this.
I am blessed to live where I live cause I hardly ever get them (knock on wood).
