🧠 Did you know their are three important treatment plans you should have ready if you have chronic migraine? 🧠 Preventative treatments which work to stop attacks before they start. Strategies could include medication, injections, supplements, lifestyle changes and more. 🧠Abortive treatment plans will work to stop an attack after it starts. Strategies usually include medication for pain and nausea. 🧠 Rescue treatments do not prevent or abort an attack, but will make you more comfortable as you move through one. Strategies might include ice or heat, a weighted blanket, a benzo if you have vestibular migraine, essential oil roller balls or the Allay lamp. 🧠 These items should be organized and easy to access when you need them. 🧠 Feel free to share a photo of any part of your treatment plan and tag us and we’ll share it in stories to raise awareness. Just protect sensitive medication information. 🧠 Do you use all three treatment plans? Tell us below. ——————————

💡 Wrapping up our discussion on migraine as a faulty integration system. 💡 Dr. Teixido, board certified Neurotologist at ENT & Allergy of Delaware says (The brains of) people without migraine disease can adapt to sensory stimulus such as barometric changes, light, noise, strong smells, movement etc. within minutes. Effectively turning stimulus off and moving it into the background. But, for those of us with migraine, our brains don't easily adapt. 💡 And outside sensory input isn’t the only trouble maker here. Physiological stimulus like hormones, illness, sleep, stress, hunger, dehydration, exercise and pain are difficult for us to regulate as well. the irritation of the stimulus continues to build until it ends in a migraine attack. 💡 And it doesn’t happen only during attacks. It’s that way all the time, especially for many of us diagnosed with chronic migraine and migraine variants. 💡 A faulty sensory integration system or hyper-responsive brain in migraine causes multi-sensory symptoms, not just a headache. Multi-sensory symptoms include those mentioned in the graphic but also, bloodshot watery eyes, runny nose, congestion or sinus pain, vertigo, tinnitus, ear pressure, transient aphasia and paralysis and SO much more. 💡 We’ve been taught that migraine is head pain, but migraine actually presents as a vast and varied collection of symptoms. 💡 Do you experience multi-sensory symptoms? Tell us below. ——————————

👂 {NEW BLOG ALERT!} 🚨 Have you ever experienced ear pressure and wondered how the heck migraine can cause ear symptoms? 👂 You won’t want to miss our latest article from @the.balanced.butterfly discussing just that. 👂We think this is an important read for everyone with migraine even if you don’t experience ear symptoms because in it we explain how central sensitization causes multi-sensory migraine symptoms, not just head pain. 👂 We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one. Link in bio, in stories and <migrainestrong.com> 👂 Do you experience ear pressure during or even between attacks? How about other sensory symptoms? Do you think your brain is adapting appropriately to sensory information or does it feel hyper-responsive? Tell us your experience below. ——————————

💡 Is migraine a faulty sensory integration syst

💡 Is migraine a faulty sensory integration system? 💡 We often hear about sensitivity to light, fragrance, noise and even movement. For some with vestibular migraine we’re even sensitive to the movement of our own heads. Do we have a faulty sensory integration system? This is a valid topic beginning to gain traction! 💡 Dr. Teixido, board certified Neurotologist at ENT & Allergy of Delaware says (The brains of) people without migraine disease can adapt to sensory stimulus such as barometric changes, light, noise, strong smells, movement etc. within minutes. Effectively turning stimulus off and moving it into the background. But, for those of us with migraine, our brains don't easily adapt. 💡 And outside sensory input isn’t the only trouble maker here. Physiological stimulus like hormones, illness, sleep, stress, hunger, dehydration, exercise and pain are difficult for us to regulate as well. The irritation of the stimulus continues to build until it ends in a migraine attack. 💡 This is the reason many of us retreat to a quiet, dark room during our worst attacks. We need to turn off sensory input and soothe our sensory integration system to effectively abort attacks. 💡 A faulty sensory integration system or hyper-responsive brain in migraine causes multi-sensory symptoms, not just a headache. 💡 What are your thoughts on this theory? Do you experience multi-sensory symptoms? Tell us below.

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stag

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stages of migraine. Last stage postdrome! 🧠 Stage 4 Postdrome~ Duting this recovery stage we often feel hungover. 🧠 It’s underestimated and under discussed just how much this stage affects us. After the attack deep fatigue and weakness sets in. This is because our entire bodies are affected by migraine, not just our heads. 🧠 We’re often dehydrated. Especially those of us who experience nausea and vomiting along with our attacks. 🤢🤮 🧠 We still have brain fog and often experience depressed mood. For some nausea and vomiting continues into this stage. 🧠 This stage usually lasts 24-48 hours. 🧠 Hydrating with electrolytes, gentle stretching and eating protein helps a bit here. I also take B Complex Plus from @Pureencapsulations to increase energy. 🧠 What does postdrome feel like for you? Let us know below.

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stag

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stages of migraine. Next up The Attack! 🧠 Stage 3 The attack~ Head pain is just one of the MANY neurological symptoms that come with a migraine attack. In fact some people have no head pain at all. 🧠 Migraine attack does not mean headache. We’ve been taught to think of migraine as head pain, but the truth is that migraine attacks present as a vast and varied collection of symptoms. 🧠 Head pain can be hideous and debilitating for some, but for others, headache is not even a significant part of their migraine disease. Migraine ear pressure, tinnitus, vertigo, temporary paralysis, aphasia and so many others may be more prominent symptoms. 🧠 Migraine causes sensory sensitivity that results in multi-sensory symptoms during the attack such as light and sound sensitivity, painful touch, movement sensitivity, runny nose, ear pressure & tinnitus, impaired language & cognitive processes, and so much more. 🧠 Those with migraine experience sensory stimulation differently all the time, but it’s especially debilitating during an attack. 🧠 Because our brain is hyper-responsive to sensory stimulus we often retreat to quiet, cool, dark spaces to turn sensory stimulus off to effectively abort an attack. 🧠 For some a migraine attack lasts a few hours, for others a few days. Some are currently experiencing unending daily attacks known as status migraine. 🧠 Do you experience head pain? What do attacks feel like for you? Let us know below.

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stag

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stages of migraine. Next up Aura. 🧠 Stage 2 Aura- Only about one third of those with migraine experience aura. 🧠 Aura symptoms typically precede an attack, but can occur during an attack as well. 🧠 Symptoms are commonly visual like seeing sparkles, areas of brightness or areas of your visual field blacked out. But, everyone experiences Aura differently. Aura can cause other sensory, motor or verbal neurological symptoms as well such as numbness, tingling, vertigo, confusion, speech and hearing changes and even paralysis. 🧠 Aura is like a wave of electrical or chemical activity passing over the brain. Symptoms vary depending on which part of the brain this wave of activity touches. 🧠 This stage can last from just a few minutes to about an hour. Most lasting 10-30 minutes before an attack. 🧠 Do you experience Aura? What do symptoms feel like for you? Let us know below.

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stag

🧠 Let’s take a deeper dive into the four stages of migraine starting with Prodrome. 🧠 Stage 1 Prodrome~ Typically very subtle warning symptoms that an attack is on its way. Common symptoms include irritable mood, yawning, runny nose, frequent urination, food cravings or stiff, sore neck. 🧠 I often completely miss this stage and I’m happy when I do because it’s a good sign my attack will be less difficult to kick out. 🧠 When my Prodrome is obvious I know a baddie is on its way. 🧠 This stage is the best time to treat an attack… at the very first sign of symptoms. Treating early means you’re less likely to face a runaway attack. 🧠 This is easier said than done for those with chronic migraine who must limit the use of abortive medications to about 10 days a month to avoid medication overuse headache. 🧠 Seriously, can we just reflect on that a minute? Chronic migraine is one of the most painful and debilitating medical conditions out there and yet the medication we need to manage that pain can’t always be taken when we need it. Just another added cruelty to living with migraine disease. 🧠 Do you experience Prodrome? What’s it look like for you? Let us know below.

🧠 Migraine is such a complicated neurological disease. Most attacks progress through four stages. Though not everyone with migraine experiences all four. 🧠 Stage 1 Prodrome~ Typically very subtle warning symptoms that an attack is on its way. Common symptoms include irritable mood, yawning, runny nose, frequent urination, food cravings or stiff/sore neck. 🧠 Stage 2 Aura~ This stage can last from just a few minutes to about an hour. Only about 1/3 of those with migraine experience aura. While symptoms are typically visual like seeing sparkles, areas of brightness or areas of your visual field blacked out, aura can cause other neurological symptoms as well such as numbness, tingling, vertigo, confusion, speech and hearing changes and even paralysis. 🧠 Stage 3 The attack~ Head pain is just one of the MANY neurological symptoms that come with a migraine attack. In fact some people have no head pain at all. Migraine effects nearly all of our sensory symptoms causing light and sound sensitivity, painful touch, movement sensitivity, impaired language & cognitive processes, vertigo and so much more. 🧠 Stage 4 Postdrome~ Deep fatigue sets in during this recovery stage often making us feel hungover. 🧠 Do you experience all four stages? What are your symptoms like? Tell us about them below. ——————————
