Normally, I have maybe 2 migraines a month. I've had one 3 days in a row. I take Imitrex and that usually works on my migraines, but this time it didn't.
On top of that, I have been suffering from the chest pain of Costochondritis for the past 4 days. Usually, this pain lasts a couple of days and 'moves on.' Not this time.
The weather here is definitely changing. I happen to dislike the summer heat and love the fall weather, but I'm beginning to think it doesn't love me.
Do other people experience such dramatic changes in health when the weather changes seasons?

I seem to catch every cold and virus out there once it gets colder.
Feel better.
I had taken so much Imitrex for so long, that there was no way for it to be as effective as it had been. Once I went off it for a month, my life has changed. I don't know if you have a Neurologist, but this might be something to look into.
From someone who remembers the pain of almost daily Migraines, I sincerely wish you well.
But that is interesting about Imitrex. Now I rarely take any of my "trex" drugs.
Sorry your going through this. Migraines really are miserable!
I also have Costochondritis on top of many other health issues.
My fatigue has been overwhelming lately too. I think weather plays a role in all of this but I would definitely talk to your Doctor about it.
I get migraines too and they totally suck. Hope you feel better.
I am sorry your hurting so much.
I honestly barely survived the seasons with meds and now, all I have is going to the ER as I have no medical treatment plan.
I like to take epsom salt baths to ease the aches, stay warm (even though it is freakin' hot as hades here), take my advil and pain meds if need be. I also take it easy on my bed so I don't make my flare worse by stressing out, or doing extra chores.
Good luck, God Bless
