Memory
I have been diagnosed w Chronic migraines however, the right side of my face hurts w migraine, a point pain in my chin, or terrible dizziness happens. What’s going on?? I am not a medical professional, but face pain with migraine may be leading into trigeminal neuralgia, this is when the trigeminal nerve of your face is being impacted and/or damaged by migraine (usually the swelling/inflammation related to migraines is involved). Often the point pain in a chin is a signal, does it feel like a red-hot nail being driven into your chin? I would review this with your nuero ASAP.
Hi
- that's definitely a GREAT topic. Here is a link to several different articles and forums related to memory (or lack there of) on our community page. Hope it helps - Thoughtfully - Rebecca (community moderator) https://migraine.com/search?s=memory
Will the headaches from chronic migraine ever go away. I have headaches everyday and they just wear me down
- Thanks for chiming in on the conversation. It is all so very complex. I always try to remain positive and hopeful that one day the chronic headaches i have will go away ... eventually. My headaches evolve into migraines, where I can go down a rabbit hole of pain and despair. Headaches and migraines vary greatly from person to person. Some have seen them go, while others struggle their whole life managing them.
In some cases, chronic headaches and migraines may improve over time with proper treatment, lifestyle modifications, and self-care practices - medications to prevent migraines, identifying and avoiding triggers, stress management techniques, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and maintaining a healthy diet.For others, chronic headaches and migraines may persist despite these efforts, and managing symptoms becomes a long-term process, in which - the goal shifts from complete resolution to improving quality of life and reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
I certainly hope
can stay hopeful, and continue exploring different strategies to manage headaches and migraines effectively from day to day. Thoughtfully, Rebecca (team member) ive been suffering with the same issues as you. Im at the point now that after having daily migraines I get some short term results using prednisone tablets periodically. Issue is I can only use them 3 to 4 times per year due to Osteoporosis. It stops migraines on the second day of treatment, which is 5 days. Lasting results vary. Hope you can find relief.
I have been having migraines for the past week, even affecting vision in one eye and terrible ear fullness everyday. how long should i wait before seeing a doctor about this? is ear fullness normal?
I also find very dark sunglasses helpful for the light sensitization. I use them when outside, but often inside as well when needed. you're not alone! I thought you might appreciate this article from one of our patient leaders about finding some relief from light-sensitivity, https://migraine.com/living-migraine/relief-light-sensitivity. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
