Anyone have a problem with hormones? Hormonal migraine is real and tough—oestrogen drops around your period, sparking fiercer attacks. You're not "dramatic"; it's biology. Track symptoms + cycle to chat with your doctor.

Feeling fatigued before, during, and after a migraine attack is a common experience and is tied to the complex neurological changes that occur throughout the migraine cycle. Fatigue can occur during multiple phases of a migraine.  Read more about phases of migraine in comments👇

​A second opinion isn’t cheating on your doctor—it’s hiring a co‑pilot for your brain’s turbulence.🌀 A second opinion can provide a fresh perspective, confirm or challenge your current diagnosis, and help explore other treatment options.​ #healthmatters #migraine #migrainelife

Neck pain or stiffness can be a common sign/symptom of migraine, before, during, or after a migraine attack.  This is typically part of the migraine process rather than a separate neck or muscular problem, it's how the nerves in the neck and head interact due to migraine. 👤

Migraine can also be like your brain hosting a wild pain party with total sensory chaos—where your only moves are blinking and breathing to survive.  Anyone relate? #migrainesucks #migraine  https://www.migraine.org.au/about_migraine

Calling it 'just a headache' is like calling a tornado 'just a bit of wind.' 🌀 Some migraine patients have all the debilitating symptoms but no headache. #vestibularmigraine #hemiplegicmigraine  #NotJustAHeadache more here https://www.migraine.org.au/types

Paingry often intensifies when others refuse to acknowledge, validate, or understand what you may be experiencing. If family, friends, healthcare providers minimize pain experiences or express skepticism, it compounds the emotional burden and amplifies irritability.​ #chronicpain
