mit12 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 One thing I can not understand is when my life is super stressful and seems out of controll I do not have headaches but as soon as things smooth out I get hit hard. Anyone have the this type of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Actually, yes. We could be having selective memory though. Anything, any period of time, seems less stressful than in the middle of a cycle. Edited December 24, 2018 by Elliott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon019 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) ...absolutely....it's kind of classic..."stay stressed....NEVER sleep"!.... messes with hypothalamic activity, multiple hormones, adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, et al...………………. …..I used to get blasted on a regular basis 20 mins after work (high stress job)....some kind of rebound effect from the high levels....oppositely, for some, stress is a trigger....

ErgotAlkaloid Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 When I had migraines in childhood and adolescence, they never occurred at school, only at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHurtsMyHead Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Mit12, Yea, over the years lots of people report more or worse attacks when they're relaxing. Vacation, home from work etc. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoxieGirl Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I agree. Weekends used to be my worst time for attacks. Usually about 10 minutes into settling down to watch a film. For me, high stress triggers migraines, and sudden drops in stress triggers clusters. Life is a balancing act of stress. Friends were often puzzled by how I always kept busy doing things, I always had a To Do list of things to do, but this was so I could manage and control my stress. If I had things to do, I could keep my stress slightly elevated, but controlled, as I could take things off the list if it got too much. It meant I could ease myself into the weekends and avoid that drop in stress and a cluster attack. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
