My pattern is feeling a little “off” dizzy, off balance, anxious. Try an abortive doesn’t help. Next day headache, fatigue, bad then for the next 48-72 hours headache somewhat better but fatigue worse, heart racing fog. Whole episode lasts at least 4 days. Waiting for it to start again is torture. Am on Qulipta, beta blocker, changed my cancer meds and was six weeks migraine free but am now on day 4 of a bad one. I feel disappointed and hopeless. It helps to share.

Oh yes. I document to search for patterns. Weather (thunderstorms) is a trigger. Overload on visual stimulation--crowds, grocery store aisles, crowded restaurants.

I did keep a journal. Actually a few. Stress is my #1 trigger. I had to stop keeping track of my migraines. It was stressing me out. It sounds cynical but it’s true. I just couldn’t do it.
