   <p>Summer. I want to be out in the garden doing stuff and enjoying the sun, but I can't do the physical work, or even much of anything before I'm in pain and the sun triggers pain too &#128577;</p>

   <p>summer: high heat & humidity does me in. but this crazy weather now (in the midwest) with big pressure changes is also a major trigger.</p>

    <p>Summer. Those big H on the weather chart may mean heat and humidity to most people. To me the H stands for Headache.</p>

    <p>Always! But summer the most. Having chronic migraines, seasons have little impact. Barometric pressure changes are huge, but they happen year round. Sunlight is awful, that happens year round. Heat & humidity, along with the sun in the summer makes it impossible to stay outside for any length of time even though I'd like to is a bummer, so I usually go outdoors early in the day and late in the afternoon and evening. Makes me feel like a vampire, or the Wicked Witch of the West "OOOH I'm melting!". But I hate it when everyone's in the pool, or laying out in the sun, and I'm inside because the sun, heat, and humidity do me in.</p>

    <p>Fall seems to be the worst for me with a lot of storms coming in, but then so is winter, and spring and summer the heat is unbearable. Somehow I never find a place to live with air conditioning! I have so many triggers it doesn't really matter, but barometric pressure is a big one, and lately that has been going up and down like a yo-yo, so it is hard to say which season is worse.</p>

       <p>It's so true-letting family down and even professors or people you work with....it's been tough to accept that I am not dependable. the migraines are just too frequent and unpredictable. trying to adapt. how about you?</p>

    <p>Summer is the worse here in Central Florida. With the heat, humidity and the daily thunderstorms I am in horrible pain! I have at least 3 migraines a week during the summer sometimes more. But the spring is pretty bad as well. With the orange blossoms blooming and the weather bouncing from the 80's to the 60's it is a weather nightmare.</p>

    <p>Definitely summer, with the high temps and risk of dehydration. It's been a bit better since starting OTC magnesium supplements, but it's still a problem.</p>

    <p>Summer by far! Heat and glare and especially high humidities seem to be huge factors, maybe because they are so hard to control or modify. I once forced myself to plant 4 flats of petunias even though I knew a migraine was coming because damn, I wasn't going to waste yet another day out of my life-ps I ended up in bed for 3 days and the petunias died anyway-live and learn!</p>
