Living With A Migraine Brain
For women who have tried everything
Your migraine can start 48 hours before the headache.
It begins when your day pushes your brain past a point we call the Migraine Tipping Line™. The neck tightness, the yawning, the light that was suddenly too bright may be the migraine itself, already underway.
The American Migraine Foundation says the first phase of a migraine can begin several hours or days before the headache. The headache classification doctors use defines it as 2 to 48 hours before the attack.
