Migraines Are Much More Than Headaches

It is constanlty adjusting to environmental changes such as light, sound, stress, motion, hunger, and sleep just to name a couple of. To think that an average body compensates and handles these changes, for 70 plus years without a break, is utterly miraculous. Just as amazing is how differently some people respond to tehse certain conditions than do other people. Some people have bodies that are esepcially sensitive.

I refer to them as havnig sensitive bodies. A migraineur, a person that has migraines, has what I call the sensitive body. If you fall into this category, your body is more easily upset or excited by environmental changes than a person who does not suffer from migraines.

Often a patient is quick to dismiss this evaluation of himself by saying I never have bad headaches or I hardly ever have a headache; however, it is important to understand the scope of a migraine. It is much more than the stereotypical pounding headache that sends you to bed.A migraine develops when the nerovus system experiences an upset or disturbance. This disturbacne which interferes with “normal life” is called a trigger.
Triggers stimulate the nervous ssytem. The eventual result is an electircal discharge going across the cerebral cortex which interrupts the brain’s game plan for a normal-functioning day.
The results of this interruption range from mild nekcache to a headache that debilitates. Trigegrs run the gamut from too little sleep to changes in barometric pressure.
As you begin to understand your body better you will learn to identify your particluar triggers. In theory, anybody with enoguh stimulation from light, sound, smell, food, and/or stress could develop migraines.
