Hello everyone,

Let's talk about migraine triggers! emoticon cute

Do you know what causes your migraines? Is it changes in hormones? Stress? Fatigue? Dehydration? Low blood sugar? Bright lights? Certain odors? Are you able to avoid these triggers? What do you do to cope when they are unavoidable?

@Courtney_J Mine is light for sure. Like I've said in other threads, I work in front of a computer all day, so I think that is my main trigger. And then once I'm in the middle of one, sound is unbearable. A pin dropping will send me running to the bathroom to throw up.

Someone got me a pair of blue light glasses for Christmas that I've started using and they seem to be helping? The migraines that I've had in this new year haven't been as severe. So I guess they work? Or it's just the placebo effect haha.

I get mine along with my fibromyalgia from the tightness in my neck and back. I think hydration also plays a part in mine too.

My migraines come with hormones and stress, The stress causes tension in my neck too. Also weather changes, like the pressure, affect me greatly as well. Hydration too.

Hydration is a big one for me along with any kind of emotional tension or stress. And certain smells can set me off like strong perfume or cologne, but usually if I spend an extended period of time around them.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.
