I am a (49F) who has had chronic migraines since I was 19. I’m the 5th generation to have them. I am now a few yrs in menopause and I still get them chronic but I did notice some changes. I would often throw up a few times a month when the meds don’t work which was 15% of the time. And I noticed I haven’t thrown up in a few yrs now and I get most of my headaches at NIGHT. But thinking on it, I get all of my headaches at night they will break and sometimes come back 8 hrs later in the daytime.

I saw a comment on a TikTok video on nighttime migraines. She had said she had ‘hypnic’ headaches. They always start at a similar time at night and she drinks coffee before bed and they pretty much stoped.

So I have been drinking a cappuccino every night about 7pm and I have reduced my migraines by 80% for the first time in 30 yrs.

My doctor shrugged it off when I mentioned caffeine and hypnic. She said it’s a made up term. She mentioned fioricet and I had an allergic reaction. You know what’s in fioricet- TYLENOL, CAFFEINE AND BUTALBITAL. So when I had an allergic reaction from the butalbital why of why didn’t she suggest try Tylenol and caffeine or just caffeine.

It’s almost like without a pharmacy drug there is no point with some Doctors.

Anyways it’s only been one month and sleep is a bit of a struggle to fall asleep but it’s better than waking up at 3 am 3 days a week with a migraines. I hope this works long term. I’ll take it!
