Using a barometer for migraine
The link between migraine and weather is something that’s not yet fully understood. One way that you can better understand what the connection is for you is by getting a good digital barometer. Recently I received this letter which demonstrates a great way to use the barometer I have recommended on this website.
Hi James,
In short, thanks!
Your little barometer has changed everything for me. I have known for some time that pressure was a trigger for some of my most severe headaches. This little tool has helped me understand that almost *all* of my headaches are weather related. For me it is rapidly falling pressure that does it…
After 30-some years of suffering, this is a rather huge revelation. I have set the barometer to alert me of sharp pressure drops… now I’m training myself to medicate based on the alarm… the difference is *enormous*.
I will be ordering another barometer soon so I can keep on in my office *and* my bedroom… My hope is that if I can catch the pressure change (and have the barometer literally *wake me up* to take medication) I can avoid the headache all together…
Its amazing what a little understanding (and technology) can do…
Best,
