THESE ARE MIGRAINE SYMPTOMS TOO
Visual static. Word loss mid sentence. Sound sensitivity. Depersonalisation. Tinnitus. Heavy fatigue. Nausea with no digestive cause. Neck stiffness before the pain begins.
These are not separate conditions. For many people they can all be expressions of the same sensitised nervous system that drives migraine. Most get dismissed or misdiagnosed because they do not present as obvious head pain.
Research into migraine as a neurological disorder rather than just a headache condition consistently shows that the prodrome and postdrome phases produce symptoms that extend far beyond the head. The neck stiffness piece is particularly significant because upper cervical dysfunction may be one of the drivers keeping that sensitisation active.
Save this if your symptoms have ever been written off as anxiety, stress, or something unrelated. diagnosemyheadache.com
