Any fellow migraine sufferers that can answer my questions?

[ginny_weasley]

My triggers are:
lack of sleep
skipping meals
strong smells like someone wearing too much cologne or too much perfume.
but these don't always trigger migraines for me, but if I do have a migraine it's because of one of the above things.

Questions:
Why is that my triggers don't always trigger migraines?
My state will be voting on legalizing marijuana very soon and I will be 21 shortly, will marijuana help?
Will this surgery be worth it?

Weed and birth control have saved my life. I used to get very frequent and violent migraines.

And triggers aren't a guarantee to have one. It depends on how susceptible you are at the given moment.

I know one for me that can set them off is an iodine deficiency.
Trying ingesting some table salt next time and see if it lessens it.

i have migraines too. i sometimes have migraines so bad that i have to go in a dark room for the rest of the day and i get feverish symptoms and i feel like puking too but nothing seems to trigger it. i can take pain killers all i want, its not going away. i also can't eat anything because its too intense.

I have to ask are you seriously considering brain surgery for this?

[ginny_weasley]

If it makes it stop, then yes.

[Waffles731]

But from what I can tell from my sister.
Try medication amitriptyline that works for her.
As for surgery, is a brain surgery so it is very much a last resort BUT if you are getting constant migraines and medication doesn't work, then it would be something to consider

Last time I had a migraine, the medicine basically did nothing. I almost made my mom drive me to ER because it lasted for 2 and a half days and pain was 8/10. It's a last resort but I will consider it if marijuana doesn't work.

[Waffles731]

Well, I hope you find something that works
