Migraines - they suck big time

Recently I was dignosed with migraines. Previously I thought these were “cluster headaches” but
instead they are known as “transformed migraines” that are not usually as severe as a typical
migraine. They can sometimes mimic a sinus headache. Occasionally they are full-fledged and I
get light-sensitive and nauseous. Mine strike often enough that I am on a preventative medication,
as well as using Imitrex once a migraine comes on.

I am learning to pay much much closer attention to what I eat, as there are many different foods
and drinks that can trigger migraines. I am also at the mercy of the weather; changes in pressure
and humidity often trigger migraines as well.
