Severe fatigue

Greetings - We're so grateful you have joined us - welcome to the community!
As for your question, fatigue is a common symptom that accompanies migraine. I totally relate to what you shared as when I'm in the midst of an attack (or right before or after) I get so exhausted and weak that I also can't even stand for a shower.
Migraine is a depleting condition that drains us of our energy. It is a complex and comprehensive neurological condition that has many symptoms related to our neurology (including energy). So, fatigue can come from multiple sources - as a symptom of the condition itself; as a result of navigating the demanding nature of attacks; and, lastly - it can appear as a common side effect of various treatments that we use to prevent and/or treat migraine. Are you taking any medications to help manage the condition? It is for these reasons that many people living with migraine feel exhausted.

Hi! Welcome. I'm glad you're here -- this site has a wealth of information and is a great place to ask those "does anyone else..." questions.

In addition to the link Holly sent you about fatigue, you might be interested in knowing (if you don't already) that there are four phases to a migraine attack. The last one is called postdrome, and is very often nicknamed a migraine hangover because of the way it makes most people feel fatigued and foggy. So, unfortunately, you're in good company.

Also, some migraine meds can really make you feel exhausted! That's worth looking into, if you haven't.

I walk and/or do water aerobics on my non migraine days and do gentle yoga stretches on a mat on my off days.

Hi there! Yes, it's normal to feel extremely fatigued after a migraine. Migraines can be draining, leaving you exhausted. Make sure to rest and hydrate well. If it persists, consider talking to a healthcare provider.
