Migraine not just headache

Migraine Action, Migraine Day

Well I made this. I was 90 minutes late, but I managed to go and stayed until the end. That was a mistake because it wrecked my head.
the venue was not the best, rooms stuffy and when they opened the windows lot of noise in from the street below.
The lunch was lousy. Tofu sandwiches and some with cheese...for migraineurs!!!
For me it was too long at 6 hours, and they should have started later, 10am the earliest. I spoke to others there, and they all concurred with these points.
Lastly the hotel needs to get a toilet cleaner!!!

Talks were good. Nice to speak to Drs Andy Dowson, and Paul Davies in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Also met a couple of local people and some others I may keep in touch with.
Did I learn anything....not really.
But it was good to share experiences.

If you are reading this, so far. Please comment. Migraine is such a complicated problem and the more we all band together the further we will get with a remedy, hopefully some day a cure.
Don't be shy, i don't care if it isn't a positive comment, but I cant really see the point in reading this if you never say anything, so please do.
thanks.

I hope you are feeling better, I am beginning to think some of my migraines are what I am eating. I know light has is the majority of the cause of my migraines with chemical smells, the second cause, but lately when I eat, I get a migraine shortyly after.
The hard part if figuring this out. I hope you get rid of your migraines, or at least get some relief.
I have never when to a seminar or a speech about migraines, did you think it was worth it after giving some time to think about it.

Hi Jan.
thanks for posting, as you can see, no one does.
I don't think food effects me. I have excluded just about everything along the way and made no difference.
My only discernible trigger has been hormones, but I am wondering about weather changes.
Flashing lights and smells can trigger me if I am vulnerable.
If you get migraines after you eat you need to look at what yuo are eating. It cant be all food, there has to be a pattern. Or are you leaving it to long to eat?
Migraines are so complicated aren't they?
