    My dogs are always clingy so they’d be useless prewarning me 🙂

    My dog sleeps on the bed with me when I have a migraine. The rest of the time he will only jump on the bed if he is told he can.
    I’ve not noticed any significant changes in him prior to a migraine, but for the last 3 months it has been chronic daily, so there’s no end to one and beginning to the next. If there is a break and I get a few good days, I’ll keep a watch on him before the next migraine kicks in.

    Since an extreme Hemiplegic one 2 weeks ago my dog now walks by my side when walking. The attack happened on a walk.

    does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of the symptoms of hemiplegic migraine, other than aspirin. Like Lee, I have had several recently, back-to-back. Can’t see, speak very well, think, feel anything, etc. Imitrex and other meds DO NOT help these symptoms, at least for me. I’m afraid to even go out of the house these days.

    Nothing works for me Anne, i just have to manage to get to a bed. I do take a preventative med called flunarazine 10mg at night that has helped, it has cut attacks down from 3 or 4 a week to 2 in 10 days, but they seem more severe but less frequent.

    My basset hound Ola behaves differently—like he’s quieiter and does not want to get in the way whenever I have an attack. He seems to know that I am in pain. But when I feel fine, he’s the same stubborn dog who’s always begging to play.

    The German service dog center says that every service dog who can warn about low or high blood sugar levels, asthma or epilepsy can also warn about a beginning migraine attack. They are all said to detect a low amount of oxygen in the blood.
    As far as I know there are already service dogs for migraine, so I am wondering what is new about your findings?

    I got my English Bulldog at 8 /12 weeks old. About a month later she was whining and barking at me in the middle of the night. When I finally was wake enough I realized I was starting a migraine. When I take my meds she pushes in next to me and stays close. Normally she sleeps on the other side of the bed. A few times the meds didn’t work. A hour or so later she starts to nudge me as a warning. I grab a second dose, but it’s usually too late then. The migraine has taken hold. She won’t leave my side until the worst is over. Love me pup so much. My life is so much better with her watching over me.

    My dog will literally curl up and put his head on my chest when my migraines are really bad like to the point that I should be in the hospital getting meds. He’s so protective of me in my most weakest of moments! He’s two years old pitbull mix the most loving compassionate dog that I have ever had the pleasure of being of her mommy too. He has gone so far as to playfully growl at my husband and my son if they get too close to the bed when I’m really sick. My husband jokes he never thought he’d have to compete with the dog!:)
