Subject: RE: BS: Migraine sufferers, advice please?
Cluster headaches are more common in men. Re knowing you are going to get a migraine - it happens sometimes with people who have epileptic fits. The change in sense of taste and smell are also sometimes found in both conditions. I knew a patient from my nursing days who was able to abort a fit by using a sort of self hypnosis. Some migraine sufferers are also able to do this but it's not an option for most of us. Dostoyevsky said his epileptic auras were the greatest experiences he ever had. That's not much consolation for those of us with migraine though is it?
