Migraines and the Barometric Pressure




Oh my gosh...........most people watch the news to catch the daily forecast, I have to watch the news to see what the barometric pressure is going to be like for the day. It's crazy. It causes my headaches to be out of control. If you suffer from Migraine headaches you know what I'm talking about! This weekend was crazy. 32 degrees on Friday, 60 degrees on Saturday and Sunday and now we're back to freezing again. It's killing me!

The ups and downs of the barometric pressures are killing me and my headaches and then you throw in PMS or anything related to smoke, smells or anything that might throw off my head and I'm basically screwed.

My companies insurances SUCKS big time and although I'm allowed 30 a month by my doctor, I'm only allowed 4 a month per my Insurance company. What is that madness? So, my insurance company gets to control my medicine intake, when my Doctor realizes that I need more! OK, that makes perfect sense right? AND to top it off, 4 pills cost $60 dollars! That's a good price right, you'd think I was trying to buy drugs from the street or something. It's ridiculous. AND........for a bonus my monthly headaches pills are also $60.00 to prevent my headaches! Yeah, we have GREAT insurance!

Anyway, migraines suck no matter how you slice them and the weather pretty much controls my life at this point. I live for cold at this point! Bring on the snow baby, bring on the snow!
