Everything is a trigger

Does anyone experience migraines over anything? My migraines come at any time for any reason. Happy, excited, sad, angry etc. It's so frustrating because I can't even pinpoint what triggers them.

  1. Hi, Lloyd. That's a tough situation to be in, and you're definitely not alone. Some people have defined triggers, but a lot of people don't, and sometimes it can seem like anything sets you off.

    I do want to pass along this one article and stress and emotions, since you pointed them out specifically. Maybe something in Holly's video or the discussion in the comments there will be useful to you, or at least a little comforting knowing others have been through similar.
