Autism and Migraines?

PetitePip

I've been suffering from hormonal migraines (every month) for a couple of years now. On top of these, I've always had a tendency to get migraines when I feel too much emotion positive or negative. I've had them after my graduation  (positive) and after what I now recognise are meltdowns (negative). 

I've been struggling to find much information online about links between autism and Migraines and I wondered whether anyone else had similar experiences? 

Thanks!

  • Hi there, I get migraines they are very painful, it is related to maybe too much light and my visual stress condition, and stress. 

    all I can suggest through is try to see if you are perhaps allergic to any foods or drinks caffeine for example, and make sure you drink enough water throughout the day that does help.

    Thanks for sharing, Astrid! 

    My migraines can be very painful too. I have two types of medication one to prevent them and the other to help alleviate symptoms if one does start. Stress is definitely a big factor for me too so is tiredness. 

    I hadn't considered allergies before so I'll definitely think about that. I've recently started using a water tracker and reminder as I know I don't drink enough sometimes.
