How do others grade and cope with a migraine when they feel one coming

I’ve had issues with headaches for many years. It was only about 8 years ago I realised it’s not normal. When one is coming it’s like a storm on the horizon, it can vary on how fast it comes but it is always coming. I’ll have as little as a 15m warning before the pain can be so intense I can’t see any more or my sense of balance is gone. At certain points I end up falling asleep to cope.

How do others regulate their migraines when they strike and how fast can the debilitations set in. Do others end up passing out at a peak too?

  1. hi again! Like you said, it can be hard to manage migraine. I have never passed out from a migraine. I do get severe vertigo and have hit items with my body. I want you to know that even though I have not passed out, you are not alone. We all experience our migraine a little bit differently than the next person. Here are some articles though, that I think you will find comfort and tips in: https://migraine.com/living-migraine/tips-increased-attacks

    I hope this helps get you started and is what you were looking for. (Tonya, team member).
