Jinga-

My phsyiatrist and cognitive therapists have said that this migraines related to weather changes is something that is quite common in their TBI patients. Some of my worst ones are right before I front rolls through.

I've found that accuweather.com is a wonderful resource. You put in your local area and then can select a migraine forecast. It tells you when in coordination with barometric pressure changes you are more likely to have a migraine. It is a little over 50% accurate for me. However, i know if there are other issues at play, (I didn't sleep well, I'm stressed etc, it's all the more likely that their "forecast" is correct.) It doesn't make me feel better, but helps me plan. If I know a front is coming through tomorrow and I have to be up late tonight, I should plan a light day tomorrow because there is a good change I"ll develop a migraine at some point.

Ice on my neck and head seem to help lessen the pain. I also see a physiatrist who has prescribed some muscle relaxers and does lidocaine injections to help stop some of the spasming that contributes to the migraines.

Track your symptoms with the weather and you'll start to see patterns. For example, I struggle most around a certain millibar level of barometric pressure.

Hope this helps

PROPRANOLOL is helping me with my migraines. My triggers were light and noise sensitivity, more work in front of computes.
