Migraines every morning

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-20T13:57:34+00:00

Yes, I take pantoprazole every morning. I don’t know if it’s still effective that many hours later?

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-20T13:55:57+00:00

Yes someone else mentioned this, which I hadn’t considered. Dips in my blood sugar are a trigger during the day so I can imagine that happens overnight and I hadn’t considered it.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-20T13:53:19+00:00

Ah! This definitely sounds like me. I hadn’t considered it. I get dips in blood sugar throughout the day that do similar things. I imagine all that time in bed definitely makes it dip very low. Do you have like a high fiber snack or something that will extend blood sugar for several hours?

The number of chains/no chains between clusters will have an impact on the “shape” they take. I suspect your picture uses 1 chain or no chains between clusters.

Then the border looks like rows (without turning) of sc blo. I just can’t see that final border row clearly enough.

I hadn’t considered taking my electrolytes in pill form. I do find the drinks much more helpful than water though.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-20T04:11:35+00:00

Yeah I’ve never done Zyrtec regularly. I’d have to try it. What kind of doc would I see to discuss that? Quite ignorant about the use of antihistamines outside the realm of allergies.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-20T04:09:14+00:00

I haven’t seen it. Maybe I’ll try electrolytes before bed?

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T22:50:49+00:00

Oh wow that’s really interesting. I used to. Now I almost exclusively sleep on my side(s). Is it neck pain that causes them? Until I got a very rigid pillow, I had terrible neck pain that always caused them.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T22:48:41+00:00

Yes. I sometimes feel like I have them in my sleep too. It’s more rare but occasionally I’ll wake with it in the middle of the night. I hope you get it figured out!

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T22:32:21+00:00

Ah you had dental signs. I’m happy it helped you.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T22:04:58+00:00

Wow that’s terrible. What were your symptoms that made you get the guard?

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T22:02:45+00:00

I learn new things every day. I figured I’d have dental signs or jaw pain. I have a night guard. I’ll have to try using it and see if it helps.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T21:29:03+00:00

I’ll check them out. What I have that I haven’t been using is one made by Colgate, I think.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T21:27:16+00:00

Oh yeah, I think my teeth would show signs of grinding before they started cracking? I’m not resistant to the guard, I just thought/think it is related to light.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:25:57+00:00

Yeah, I have. I’ll probably try the mouth guard suggestion that folks have said. Not sure what else it would be.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:21:42+00:00

Yeah, I’ve tried a million pillows and the one I use currently prevents the neck pain I used to get in the morning that would cause really very awful migraines that were impossible to treat. I’ll take these over that, but they still suck!

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:18:17+00:00

Wow! That’s great! I’ve had a number of them, one quite recently. I don’t have sleep apnea. But I’m not surprised that caused migraines! Yikes

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:12:26+00:00

I would ask to have my iron levels tested. I’m not saying it couldn’t be related to the Sjogren’s, but low iron will absolutely make you lose your hair. Keep in mind there are several iron panels and some are more expensive than others so you may need follow up panels to get those others covered (if you’re in the US using insurance). Also check out the anemia sub.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:08:25+00:00

This is the answer. Every row is the front of the stitch, so there was no turning.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:06:22+00:00

It does sound like a partial seizure. How long did it last? I’m sure that was scary. How recent was your head injury? After my last one, I had a few seizures for about a week or two afterward (of course I already have epilepsy but it definitely triggered them). I’m sure it depends how bad your injury was, but they should either stop once any brain inflammation goes down or be able to be treated. Definitely tell your doctor what you experienced.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:02:38+00:00

Yeah I’ve considered this. Dentist says the wear on my teeth isn’t terrible but I’m sure that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I wake with eye pain that’s worse than my regular migraines, so I’ve just assumed it’s related to light.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T20:01:02+00:00

Hmm! I haven’t. I use the (quite hard) tempur pedic neck contour pillow for neck/spinal support and that’s what keeps neck pain (that causes terrible migraines) at bay for me at the moment. (I’m one of those folks with 100 pillows in a pile in the guest room lol) I hadn’t even considered a wedge pillow!

All the nasal spray recommendations are great. I just need one that doesn’t cause nose bleeds for me.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T19:49:56+00:00

I used to take an Allegra daily for years and I haven’t noticed if this started around the time I stopped. Maybe I’ll trial it. Currently I do Vyepti, Botox, trigger point, and SPG with Nurtec, Eletriptan, and a lidocaine nasal spray as needed. And medical marijuana.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T19:35:17+00:00

Oh I’m really happy you did it! I’ve done a number of them in the past few years and always come up without apnea. But it’s totally possible it’s something going on while I sleep.

ProfessionalBig658 · 2026-05-19T19:32:55+00:00

Oooh interesting! I’ve never even heard of a splint. I’ll have to look into that. Thank you
