10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 BLAST OFF! There is something exciting about a countdown, it gets the heart pumping and the blood flowing the closer it gets to the number one. Usually a countdown is had right before a big event such as a football game or a movie premier. The countdown is used to excite or warn of an event, once the countdown has been completed the game or event gets under way. Though a migraine attack is not as enjoyable as a football game there is somewhat of a countdown leading to the big event – migraine pain.
Migraine headaches are painful and miserable things to have to endure for an extended period of time so how important is it to be alerted to an impending migraine attack? The benefit of knowing that a migraine attack is looming in the distance is enabling the migraine patient with the power and the ability to seek out and implement a migraine treatment before the countdown reaches one. Living with reoccurring migraines is miserable and can be debilitating so if the migraine patient is aware of the warning signs that lead up to an migraine attack then he or she can avoid a severe migraine attack.
Preemptive Warning Signs
Preemptive warning signs are like clues or the start of the migraine countdown. Preemptive warning signs are easily missed due to their commonality hence why more than twenty million men and women suffer each month with painful migraine symptoms. In order to catch the different signs the migraine patient must be made aware of what they are and then learn to listen to his or her body.
Journaling can also help with learning which particular preemptive warning signs directly affect or influence them personally. Journaling can help a migraine patient learn the pattern by which his or her migraines follow, knowing this pattern can drastically help eliminate or lessen the intensity of a migraine attack. The following is a list of preemptive warning signs that are most commonly recognized and displayed in the life of a chronic migraine sufferer.
- Extreme Fatigue
- Obsessive Yawning
- Food Cravings
- Increased Irritability
- Depression
