I and my Aspergers son, suffer from Migraines which is considered as both genetic and caused by snxuety. I read an interesting article whuch said...
"Most doctors agree that migraine has a genetic component. Does this mean that there is also such a thing as a migraine personality? I looked at Hustvedt, so intense, so clever and so pale, and I wondered. In 1963 a doctor called HG Wolff characterised migraineurs as: ambitious, successful, perfectionistic, rigid, orderly, cautious, emotionally constipated, and driven"
Sounds like the perfect description of someone with Aspergers???
I tried all the prescriptive prevention medication but its my anti-depressant tablets which greatly reduce my attacks.
I was given Migramax, which is just a big dose of Aspirin and has limited effect.
Does anyone have any prescription that they take before an attack?? In my case i continuously yawn before i get a Migraine.
I am just now researching the connection between autism spectrum disorder and migraines (and GI disorders). I am 55, I've had migraines since I was 8 years old, and am realizing that all this time, I have probably had some version of autism. Too many symptoms to list here. I have taken Imitrex for migraines with good results. And both are also associated with GI problems, which I am also researching. I just read "Super Gut" and have been making my own yogurt with specific probiotics. Good results so far.
