Migraines and PD
John, don't feel like a migraine is something minor. They are horrible and like most ailments, can throw PD symptoms into a spin! I met my current neurologist (who is great) when I went to the hospital's E/R with a migraine. In addition to having the pain of the migraine, I was having a dyskinetic storm (my term for it) - nonstop and wildly active dyskinetic movements had me writhing all over the place. Both he and the nursing staff treated it like a major issue - which it was.
Hopefully, migraine medicine will work for you should you have another migraine in the future. It works best if you take it at the first sign of a headache, long before it gets to the point that you know for sure it's a migraine not just a normal headache. That was a treatment rule that I had trouble following until I suffered through a couple of migraines!
