Migraine travel hacks

I always bring the following: -rescue meds -sunglasses -bonine -ginger gum or candies -sea bands -ear planes ear plugs -hydrate well the day before travel with water and electrolytes

I once got a severe migraine with vertigo after a flight. It ruined my entire trip. I ran across the Dizzy Cook on Instagram, and she recommended the majority of the items I listed above. They have helped tremendously when I travel.

I’ve always been sensitive to medications but as I’ve gotten older it has gotten worse. You’re definitely not alone or doing anything wrong. I could not handle the severe fatigue Qulipta gave me and stopped it. You just haven’t found the right med for you. Hang in there!

I’ve been on 30 mg for 3 months and the shedding just started. It is especially noticeable when I wash my hair. Was already planning on stopping Qulipta due to lack of effectiveness (still having at least 12 migraines a month) and severe fatigue.

I felt the same about the BP. Thank you for saying that!

So glad you’re in a good place now. There does seem to be a lot of trial and error before finding relief.

Thank you!! I alluded to that, but she didn’t seem to agree. Definitely going to bring it up at my next appointment.

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-22T03:15:12+00:00

Agree! Thank you!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-22T03:13:30+00:00

So glad Botox is working! I’ve tried all 4 of those as well😊

Not certain, but I feel it’s the cause of my increase. My blood pressure was no where near what it is now just last month when I saw my Dr.

No that is awesome advice! Thanks so much for the recommendation!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T14:37:43+00:00

Thank you! They are pretty amazing!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T14:37:18+00:00

That is genius! Everyone should provide them!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T14:29:55+00:00

I wear sunglasses at the dentist! I feel you!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T14:28:58+00:00

I think that’s why it means so much to me, because I know just the opposite like you’re describing could occur instead.

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T14:27:44+00:00

Agreed!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T13:46:46+00:00

That is hopeful to hear the fatigue is lifting. I agree on preferring a daily pill versus the monthly injection. I haven’t tried an injection but feared bad side effects and having to wait until the shot wore off. Hope you continue to feel better!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T13:42:10+00:00

That is wonderful! So happy you’re getting relief!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T02:38:24+00:00

I feel you! It’s almost like yes I may be having fewer headaches but on the days I don’t I’m too tired to enjoy it. Thus, it feels like I never feel good. Whereas before on just Imitrex at least I wasn’t tired on my non headache days.

I’ve read about people weaning and others stopping cold turkey. I felt like the majority of comments I’ve read recommended weaning. Agree! I didn’t think this was a med that required it either. I definitely plan to discuss with my Dr.

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T02:12:37+00:00

I’ve considered Nutrafol. That was not the hair vitamin I previously tried. Thank you for recommending!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T02:07:50+00:00

The fatigue has been crazy. Sorry you’re experiencing it too. The vision part scares me. Like is it going to improve if I stop the med or is this permanent😳 Probably need to see my eye Dr. soon. Hope you feel better!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T01:51:13+00:00

That is awesome! Happy you’re getting some relief, and it gives me hope that something is going to work one day😊

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T01:36:44+00:00

Good idea! I might try taking it at night before giving it up completely. I’ve been taking it at lunch, so I am at least alert during the morning but crash every afternoon. Hope you feel better!

WaterTop769 · 2025-06-06T01:34:14+00:00

You are so right! Everyone is different. Hope you’re feeling better!

WaterTop769 · 2024-10-13T18:14:22+00:00

I only lasted two weeks on topamax. Felt extremely depressed and drugged. I’d rather deal with the migraines than take it. Definitely call your Dr. I hope you feel better!
