What are your experiences with seasonal migraine?
Migraine attacks can change depending on the time of year. Seasonal triggers, stress, and allergies can all play a significant role. Which seasons are most triggering for you? What triggers pop up during that season? How do you manage the change in attacks?
we will work hard to stop all this
thank you for being part of the conversation. I hope that you are not having symptoms this weekend. Is there anything specific you use or do, to help with seasonal migraines? (Tonya, team member).
Yes I get more migraine in the fall on a daily basis
yes, the fall can be a common time to notice an increase in attacks. I actually wrote an article about this very topic based on a conversation that I had with my headache specialist. Here's a link if you're interested in checking it out https://migraine.com/living-migraine/increased-attacks-in-the-fall
And here's another conversation we had about fall migraines https://migraine.com/living-migraine/seasonal-fall-attack. I hope you find them helpful!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Many of us see an uptick in attack frequency during seasonal changes, I sure do. I tend to have more trouble in Spring and Fall.
Have you found anything beneficial to combat this? I know some resources have already been shared. Here are a few more that may be of interest;

I've also found WeatherX ear plugs to be beneficial. They have app that can alert us to changes in the pressure so we can prepare as much as possible for upcoming shifts. Here is their website; https://www.weatherx.com/.Let me know what you think and please keep us posted on how you are doing this fall. Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator (team member)
They are worse
so sorry that you get weather-related migraines. Is there any season that is better than another? Can you do anything to try to cut down the severity of symptoms? Personally, the Winter is the worst for me. I have to keep a gang of treatments ready for the Winter season. Love the tips that Tom gives in this article: https://migraine.com/living-migraine/diamox-for-weather-related-attacks. Thank you again for contributing tot he conversation!! (Tonya, team member).
Because of my allergy to Juniper/mountain cedar, late fall through winter tends to be particularly bad for me. Summer is also bad due to heat-induced migraines.
Oh my gracious, yes. I can only imagine what you must be up against given your position- and all that will be unfolding in the coming months. I'm so sorry about the ER trip- just the worst place to end up with a migraine attack- but of course, it happens when there's nowhere else to turn and the pain and symptoms are at their worst. I'm sending love and gratitude your way- and hope that the intensity of your attacks may soon quiet for you. Warmly - Holly (team member) hi there!! I saw you were also in Texas. I so understand about the allergens. I too have more symptoms in the Fall and Winter. I see an allergist also. Something that we did earlier this year, was to repeat blood allergy testing. He did not want me to stop the allergy medications, so the blood testing was best. This actually showed more allergens than previous. So...we upped the strength of my vials, and added to the shots. Have you repeated your testing recently? Maybe the vials need to be changed. I hope you start finding relief soon. I also wanted to mention that we also have a sister allergy site. https://allergies.net/?_sp=3db59cfc-8752-4367-9d29-70cbb97b7469.1731735060351 You may find support there. Hang in there!!!
