#migrainechat does anyone else get migraines that radiate from their neck and into the back of their head? I’m currently suffering big time and my abortive hasn’t done a thing. My whole back of my head is just in pain

I'm a person who loves summer but also loves her heating pad.

Oh, yay, celebrating my 9th anniversary of having migraine symptoms every day! 🎉🥳😞

I’m Beth, your host, welcoming you to our monthly #MigraineChat! I live in Vermont and have chronic #migraine (among other conditions). Things are pretty challenging for me right now but I'm glad to be here today. Please feel free to introduce yourself in any way you are comfortable.

Hello everyone! Welcome to #MigraineChat. Today we're going to chat about fatigue. If you are new to “tweet” (skeet?) chats, you can learn more at the link below. bit.ly/MigraineChat

Join me at 2p. Fittingly, I'm a little fatigued after PT, so my engagement will be low. But let's try this. #MigraineChat

Assuming I feel well enough after PT tomorrow, join me for #MigraineChat at 2pm ET (note time change). We will talk about how we manage the frustrating symptom of migraine fatigue.

I’m tentatively planning for #MigraineChat on Monday but at a special time (2p ET) bc I have an appt in the morning that would cut close to our regular time. Thinking of talking about fatigue and pacing. I need one more question. Any burning questions you’d like to discuss on the topic?

yo dc: help my crazy boss - where can he get his monstrous presentation printed right now so he has it for the morning?

The guides — which cover topics from vaccines and long COVID, to breast and pelvic exams, to advanced directives — are intended to create better communication between people with disabilities and their health care providers.

How do I tell if I have a rebound #headache or just another chronic #migraine??? I probably take too much medicine, cuz I take something for a headache or migraine almost every day. I switch between Tylenol, Naproxen, and Excedrin. And I usually take a Benadryl with it. I can't live like this!
