What Causes Migraine Disease? 5 Factors in Migraine Neurobiology

[@RavenNunchucks]

The worst part of migraine (other than the pain!) is other people not understanding what you are going through :(

[@shreyasuman37]

Can u tell me if i have migraine or not, It all started and i get to experience heavy pain, on the back of head, sometimes right side, or left side. Scalp tenderness is common. (it's like burning) i get nauseutic feel. Nd it doesn't happen daily but regularly like a cycle. Sometimes, it feels like a stroke, it feels that something freezed in my mind, and when i lift my head (up or down) it's like something is falling. Intense pain. And sometimes,. It feels like something hit my head hard like a stroke. Ohhh, it's soo painful. Rn, i'm having pain on the back side of head, and scalp pain.

[@mj4real351]

Nobody understands what they feel like unless they have one. I just had one 3 weeks ago that lasted 5 days but it had been years since I've had one. I've suffered with migraines off and on since I was 14. People think you have a normal headache but it's a whole different ballgame when you have excruciating migraines that feel like your head is put into a vise and you feel the intense pulsating as if your brain is gonna blow up. Mine have always lasted almost a week everytime . Nothing is scarier than feeling like you're gonna die while your eyes are about to pop out of your head and the back of your neck feels like somebody hit it with a cinderblock.

The people who say it's just a headache need to actually experience one. Migraines are NOT just a headache. A migraine is much worse than any headache. The fact that the pain of a migraine can be compared to child birth shows you how painful they can be.

[@xoxodanijo2059]

I've dealt with migraines since I was 10 years old. Officially (diagnosed) at 12 but I remember being a 10 year old seeing auras and electrical currents. Always feeling like I was walking on clouds. I use to have them multiple times a week. Now in my later years, they come less frequently but when they come, they come. When I do get migraines now, I have to try and take medicine before the attack actually happens (during the aura stage) or I'll throw up the medicine. I have to lay completely flat (no pillows) and with no movement and hope I fall asleep. People really don't understand how debilitating they are.. It's good seeing other people commenting their experiences.

[@LibbyRose]

I had a migraine today. My tongue and hands went numb and I could only see half of everything. I was in so much pain and I start crying just thinking about today🤕 mine only last a 5-6 hours (worst hours of my life) and I can't image going DAYS with one. God bless those people that have them everyday and for those who have them for days. I pray for those that have migraines bc i know how it feels. And those that compare migraines to a headache need to make a few corrections with that guess. Anyways whoever is reading this I hope you have a great rest of your day!!

[@Scene-ItAll]

When I was 8 years old, I started getting really bad migraines. I was throwing up every time I had one and the pain was always intense. The migraines would happen several times a month until I was 17. I talked to a priest that I met on a train about my constant migraines and I asked him to pray for me, since I felt hopeless about the migraines. After he prayed with me, my migraine went away and to this day, I haven’t had a single migraine. I’ve had small headaches, but I haven’t had a single bad migraine for the past 5 years. I’m blessed

[@louistournas120]

I don't get migraines.. but I had one today that lasted hours (about 12), but seemed to last for eternity. I just want to show my compassion for people to suffer regularly from it. I was vomitting constantly. I barely came out of it and wanted to research it further, then read the comments. I know it sounds a bit extreme, but while I was hurting and not thinking clearly, I was thinking about how if I regularly had these, or this one did not end, I would quite literally end my life. I can't even imagine the strength you'd need to get these all the time and keep on living your life. You have my fullest and deepest sympathy and I hope you guys can find a way out of that recurring hell.

[@sillybilly-ws8hd]

I had no idea daily headaches was something that was common for other people with migraines. I’ve been getting daily tension headaches all the time and those on their on is a fight all together. Migraines have been apart of my life since I was around 11 or 12 years old and they are the worst thing I have ever dealt with. The past few years has been the hardest for me, and it’s so frustrating because so many people don’t understand what people with migraines go through. All the canceled plans and people getting mad and not getting it, just saying oh it’s just a bad headache just come out for a bit is so unsettling. One thing that doesn’t get talked about or maybe it’s just me, is the anxiety that comes along with them, the aura has me so scared and with what goes on, being, vision loss, speech problems, half of my body or face numb, and the head pain that makes you want to cry. All of this gives you the feeling that you’re having a stroke or something every time it happens and makes me have the worst anxiety making a migraine even worse. I feel for all of us who get these and I hope that one day a deeper understanding will be found and that we can get help as it really is no way of life. I just started to take Botox for it and I’m waiting to see if it is right for me and will do something. It’s a ruthless cycle, you get no sleep from a migraine and a lot of stress from it which can be a trigger and cause another one in a couple of days when your cortisol levels go back down and then boom another one strikes, along with having to tiptoe around plans as at any moment it can be ruined from this.

Since we're all sharing. My mom has had migraines for as long as I can remember, and unfortunately I have inherited them. Mines started when I was around 14 15 and have just gotten worse since. And I'm a diesel mechanic, imagine working 10 hour days in a loud environment with a migraine that starts as soon as I wake up. Honestly, I go to sleep sometimes with a migraine and it'll last for a few days. And it sucks. What helps ease it a bit, for me. Is to turn the water as hot as you can take it, and put your head under it. All over your forehead and on the temples where the pain usually it. The steam will open up your nasal passages and it'll reach your brain, the steam eases your migraine. It is not just a headache, for us who live with them. I hope this helps.

Anyway, I decided to go on an only fruit diet (and some raw veggies: lettuce, some spinach, etc) since I like all fruit and I am not allergic or intolerant to any and I digest them perfectly. In two weeks my headaches disappeared, so I continued like that for another 5 months (I had some "normal" lunch on Sumdays at my mum's). My headaches haven't come back. Btw, I only had organic fruit and veggies. Just my two cents in case it might help anyone.

Wow. The brain scarring/stroke part is especially worrying. I've always felt that these migraine attacks CAN'T be good for my brain on a physiological level & that each one may be permanently worsening my overall health in some way. This kinda confirms that it's more than just a passing headache or inconvenience if physical changes are happening that can be seen on imaging tests.

[@samgreeneggs8101]

Yes you’re correct. And the problem we are faced with us that each migraine makes you more susceptible to another. Even doctors are not taking this seriously at all. The more migraines you have the more migraines you will get. That’s why it is important to find a preventative. It’s like epilepsy. If you allow the seizures and don’t treat them they will increase and become more severe. Each migraine creates a pattern to more easily set up another attack. Frustrating when you cannot find a preventative that works.

You can try some lifestyle adjustments. While you may not be able to work, try not staying inside at home all day. Be a bit more active, walk in parks, do some gardening, run around a bit. One thing that triggers migraine is stress and feeling terrible inside does not help. Talk it out with your family and get it off your chest. Find something you enjoy doing actively (sitting around watching HBO all day isn't). Even if you can't work outside and earn money, doing domestic household work: cooking, cleaning, etc ... are still work and you should do it and not feeling terrible about not going out and work. Then figure out what triggers your headaches and avoid those. For me, they are stress, long physical activity under hot, humid, sunny days, salty food, fast food while being hungry and thirsty. Avoid those and it cut down the frequency quite a lot.

I have migraine for 25 years and counting. It all started when I had my first period. Since then, it never left me. There are also other two family members who have migraine, but apparently mine is the worst. I know all my triggers but can't control most of them (menstruation, sunlight (my worst migraine attacks are during summer and spring), weather changes, lack of sleep, stress and certain odors). Meditation and controlled breathing sometimes help, as well as massaging neck muscles. For nausea, just a few months ago, I discovered slowly drinking tea with ginger makes nausea go away or at least reduce its intensity.

migraines can be cured naturally... visit #herbalistehi for review and to be cured too no matter the sickness or disease

[@StrayCatInTheStreets]

Got one today.. crippled me, had to leave work - got nausea, blurred vision and needed to take codeine for it. I used to get them nearly every month when I was a teenager. They really debilitate me. A good mitigation tactic I have during migraine is to put my hands and feet into hot water and put ice on my forehead. It works

[@Sy-im9bp]

How i treat my migraine: 1. Drink “distilled water” to attract salt from the body and towards the urine 2. Turn off the lights ( for light sensitivity ) 3. Sit in my bed, don’t lay in bed, it puts pressure in the head. 4. Or lay in bed but make sure you’re upper body is exaggeratedly inclined to reduce pressure on the head due to gravity 5. Take medicine. Paracetamol is good to reduce inflammation 6. Aromatherapy. If you don’t like the smell of your balm. Just stahp. 8. Make sure the temperature of the room is the right temperature that suits you As the videos says, your senses are exaggerated, so reduce the reception of senses to make your nervous system have a break. Maybe you’re working too hard or not having enough sleep or your diet is too salty or have plenty of MSG. Adjust everything. Give your brain a break.

I’ve just found this channel and by reading your comments I know exactly how you feel-I have suffered with migraines since I was 17 and in the last 5 years they have got more severe- I am now 61 and they are more debilitating than ever - I can be in bed between 1-5 days, with vomiting, the pain is excruciating. I have to be still, in bed, in total darkness, total silence and try to sleep as much as I can. It’s ruining my life- I pray there’s a cure out there 🙏

[@princesscarlet1]

I'm also 61 and I now the migraine has become chronic and I have daily migraines. I take 1 tablet of sumatriptan (50mg) a day and still have to go to bed for 2 hours. You don't have triptans? In the future I hope I can try Ajovy because Aimovig did nothing for me. No one should have to live with this debilitating disease 😪

@@princesscarlet1 Hi princesscarlet- I take Amitriptyline up to 40 mgs at night- Sumatriptan (100 mgs) when I have an attack + Propranolol (beta blockers) 3x40mgs - The Amitriptyline and Propranolol are supposed to prevent an attack but it doesn’t do so- I’m waiting to see if I can get an appointment with a Neurologist- I have no quality of life- I can’t work at the moment as I am unreliable and I can’t get any benefit as they said that I basically wasn’t ill enough - because on my good days I am fit and able- I tried to explain that I wasn’t disabled I just have a debilitating condition.

Outstanding video! Makes sense that most chronic migrainuers started with episodic migraines but were mismanaged by doctors and progressed to chronic. My longest migraines were 29 days, 31 days, etc and then crossed over into chronic migraines after a neurologist mandated I get 31 botox shots which then triggered encephalitis and autoimmune disease. And no one talks about how migrainuers suffer from gastroparesis and G.I. tract paralysis since the brain controls the GI tract. Autonomic fuckery at its worst. 13 years later I’m so sick I’m finally entering hospice.

I think there are two things that everyone on Earth should experience at least once.

[@katheymann2334]

Always wished I had the means to fully find a way to stop my migraines. I always believed that my headaches were sinus until I experienced one so painful I had to go to the doctor immediately. He diagnosed me with migraines. I still get the nasal congestion with most of them. I also sometimes get extremely sharp vision before some. Others are the smell of automotive fumes, feces, rotting food or burning smells, light & noise sensitivity. Others are blurry vision & pain at the top of my head that increases as I try to pull information & become lost in brain fog. Others are so much nauseousness from the pain that I have to lie down, not move & just struggle with it. If I can, I will knock myself out with medication, if I can keep it down, & hope it will pass or diminish when I wake up.

A fit leaves you with a massive headache... Very different to migraine tho. My daughter suffers the same. I have propranolol from my doctor for migraine but I have found Syndol tablets..

My best friend is going to make the second year of a continued migraine. At the beginning it was so bad, she couldn't speak or leave bed. I wish to understand better what causes it but, even if this video makes it look like there are several obvious things, doctors eventually gave up and stop trying to help because there's not enough information. Thankfully she's getting better. Now she can even go out a little and take care of herself. She's making big changes in her life and I think that's helping. Still, I would like to understand how it works deeply, maybe in an easier visual language than the one on this video.... Does anyone know a video like that and would like to recommend it to me?
