Many of us have been dealing with migraines since we were pre-teens, so yes, we've heard it all (or I thought I did before I started compiling this list). And, yes, some of them are really funny…

All I ask is, the next time you meet a migraineur, remember this list :-)

It was an offhand comment — we were talking about exercise, and I mentioned that when I was training PCM, I always started the morning with grapefruit for its anti-inflammatory properties, and I was thinking of restarting that ritual.

But my Neurologist told me it was a bad idea — grapefruit doesn’t play nice with my meds.

You're holding it together to keep your job, income, health insurance… piled on that is dealing with misconceptions, expectations, and the worry that grinds you down — that you'll make a bad choice and lose it all.

So, how do you navigate the shark-infested water?

A new study out of Denmark, published in Nature’s Scientific Reports in May, looked at the real-world use of triptans to abort migraines and came up with some interesting but not unexpected results.

And some novel recommendations!
