This is incredible and helpful to me. I had migraines as a kid induced by exercise but learned if I kept my heart rate under a certain amount I wouldn’t have one. Now I’m my late 40s my cholesterol is climbing and I’ve had daily migraines for two months. It’s miserable. I will take this info to my doctor. I appreciate it.
I hope it help Meagan. I was started on statins around the same time, but I’m 99.9 per cent sure it’s the amlodopine that’s made the difference. I also used to get headaches when I was a runner, but they felt different from the migraines, exertion headache? I’m not sure. I really hope you find the right treatment.
So good to hear you have found something that makes a big difference Mark. Fingers crossed more tie passes and it shows itself to be the cure. I had my first migraine at 16, and tend to have one a year on average until 3 years ago when I have 6 in 9 weeks - a brain scan showed nothing (*Eric Morecambe face*) but by coincidence I ran into an old friend who said he really felt spirits were a big deal in his so (having just the day before bought a bottle of my favourite Lagavulin) I stopped drinking my 3-4 nights a week glass of whisky to give it a go, and haven't had a migraine since. I suspect there is no trigger that fits everyone, and maybe hence no single cure, but if you can find what works for you - and do what you have so generously done, and share it - it can make such a huge difference to quality of life. Thanks again, and if you know anyone who fancies a bottle of Lagavulin...
Thanks Mark. It's remarkable the difference this drug has made. I'm a great Whisky lover too, in fact the kids bought me a bottle of 16 yo Lagavulin for Christmas, most of which is already gone, which I guess proves that I don't have a problem with spirits. I hope you find a fix that enables you to enjoy the occasional single malt once again.
