Unpredictability in frequency and cause-effect thinking
Last updated: June 2023
In July of 2005, I had 29 "attacks" of migraine with aura. I could not figure out any "trigger." Then, I went for six months without one. I always tell my clients: you have to be a bit careful in assuming a "cause"--migraines aren't always that nice.
Had I started eating something different that July, I'd probably taken correlation to mean causation. Sometimes, I won't have one for 6-12 months, and then they visit a couple of times a week. Puzzling rascals.
Love hearing from others in this blog. Great stuff.
Migraine with aura since I was 8...now 72 and going strong (as are the migraines).
