Can't give you any help except to say that I have had a migraine every day for 4 years. Today is an especially bad day because the weather is changing. I am staying up late because I know that the pressure of my pillow will kill my head and I have to be sufficiently exhausted in order to get past it. If you look up migraine without aura, that is me except it is not unilateral and it is every day. Honestly, I don't know if I have just had one long migraine for four years or if I just keep waking up with one. I have had a few days where for most of the day I do not have any migraine symptoms, and I walk around wondering why the world is so beautiful and why it is so absolutely perfect, and then the pain returns and I realize that there is such a thing as life without pain or whatever other weirdness is caused by the migraine/PCS. Those are the best and the worst days. Anyways, good luck, let me know if you find any magic pil so that I can join the cured band wagon
Live Long and Prosper!
In Christ,
Margarite

Fell off a horse in late winter of 2009 blacked out for a couple seconds, had amnesia for 10 hours (still don't remember this time), had 2 CT scans, 2 MRI's, 1 MRA all negative. Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused
constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance.
Migraine triggers are:
light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights)
sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds)
temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat)
activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled)
pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails)
lacks or quality (food, sleep, water)
tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness)
