I can't remember if I told them, or they just noticed something was wrong. I almost always have a "headache", but if allergies, food, odors, etc.. trigger a migraine, that's totally different. I get clusters, and they are terrible, but rarely last more than 12 hours. I can remember seeing a doctor for them at that age, but was too young to understand what was going on. Daily preventatives don't help, and pain killers are useless, but my doctor put me on Relpax about 3 years go and that has been a miracle drug for me. It works within 2 hours 80% of the time

You know it seems much more prevalent today than in years past. I wonder just how many young people suffer from this. I hardly ever did as a child or adult. Even my younger daughter complains of frequent headaches but her's are not the daily type, but she will get migraines.
I wonder if our Wi-fi lifestyle (especially theirs with a smartphone in hand 24/7) has anything to do with it. I've read of some people complaining about sensitivities to it, but you just don't know if you can believe them or not. Wi-fi is almost inescapable these days. Apartment lifestyle, smartphones, office enviroment, etc. Heck, I'm country but my house is wi-fi. Back when the kids were small, they were not exposed to it until teen years.

Thanks for that. I usually ask him daily now, he doesn't beg for Tylenol or anything so I don't think he's making it up for medicine that tastes like candy. I'm sure we'll figure it out when he is older. He always seems spacey and I'm pretty sure he has an auditory processing issue. He got diagnosed with ADHD but I don't agree with that, he can focus and isn't hyperactive, but if he goes to explain something to you it's like the words get caught between his brain and his mouth. and if you want to explain something to him his face goes blank like you're speaking foreign languages.

90% of the time mine are respiratory triggered. Gas fumes, paint, allergies, certain perfumes, etc...
Sometimes they just pop up out of the blue. Only my very worst are classic, with the blurred vision and vomiting. I can't fathom living with that pain every day
 
Hey scflock, do you have a generator?

I am disposed by heredity to be prone to debilitating migraines on both my mom and dad's side. And I've had migraine spells that made me think life wasn't worth it.

I found that my migraines are triggered by:
low quality red wine and most white wines
wheat beer yeasts
many artificial fragrances such as used in air fresheners, fabric softeners, and detergents
even the slightest trace of mold, even residues after professional cleaning
too much salt, like a handful of salted nuts or fast food fries

I am fortunate to have a warning in the form of a minor sinus irritation that shows before the migraine develops. If I get away from the trigger fast enough, I can generally avoid the migraine.

I am not allergic per allergy testing to any of these things, they just trigger migraines. I haven't had a bad one in almost four years.
