The Four Phases of Migraines

 The Four Phases of Migraines



Migraines are a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraines are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by hypersensitivity to light, hypersensitivity to sound and nausea.

The signs and symptoms of migraine vary among persons. Therefore, what a person experiences before, during and after an attack cannot be defined exactly. The four “signs and symptoms” below are common among persons but are not necessarily experienced by all migraine sufferers:

1.The prodrome, which occurs hours or days before the headache.

2.The aura, which immediately precedes the headache.

3.The headache phase.

4.The postdrome.

The first phase or prodrome

Prodromal symptoms occur in 40% to 60% of migraineures. This phase consists of altered mood, irritability, depression or euphoria, fatigue, yawning, excessive sleepiness, craving for certain food (e.g., chocolate), and other vegetative symptoms.

Then I have to pick up my little girl from her bed, and that can be a painful experience. After that it’s time to change her diaper, and that is also a huge problem for me as my fingers normally are not working properly. Fortunately my daughter has learned already to be patient with me. After about half an hour it’s time to try out clothes and see if it’s going to be a good day or a bad one. A bad day is a no tight clothes day.
