Preventing Migraines from Bad Weather: Any Tips?

How do I prevent migraines brought on by bad weather? I feel like most migraines can be somewhat prevented by avoiding triggers, but I can’t exactly avoid the weather and I don’t want to have to wait until I get an attack before I can do something about it. Sometimes the forecast will say no rain but it’ll be wrong so I can’t rely on that.

If your migraines are weather related, get yourself a barometer and keep an eye on it. My mom used to get horrible headaches when it rained so she would always check the barometer to see if it was dropping so she would know in advance what kind of a day it was going to be.

There's a migraine forecast online that's helpful to prepare for bad days. I suggest if you know it's going to be bad migraine weather taking medication and avoid triggers

Im sorry youre dealing with this, love. The only things I’ve found that work are taking abortive medicine when there is a weather change. And if i can catch it in time, taking high strength meds when my head is still in its dull/fuzzy state right before it kicks into full swing is also something I do. I also drink teas regularly with plants that have pain reducing/inflammation fighting properties, and circulatory health promoting properties as well. It doesn’t help ALOT but i have noticed a small difference by drinking these regularly at night and when Im in the middle of an episode. It’s just what works for me but maybe it helps
