Full Moon and Migraines
It's the day after a full moon, and once again I have a migraine. The only medical article I've found relating the two claims that full moon interrupts sleep cycles, and THAT could trigger migraine. Perhaps that's it, or perhaps there's something a bit more to it. Either way, it is a trigger that is unavoidable.

I'm with you in having full moons as a major trigger. The article Nancy referenced above is one I wrote because it's such an issue for me. I cannot sleep at all when a full moon is afoot. I hope you find that piece of interest. You are not alone in struggling with this issue. Thanks for chiming in on this. Warmly - Holly - migraine.com team
