What is triggering the migraines?
You seem to get an awful lot.

Mine were from light sensitivity.
Irlen lenses have cut the migraines down significantly.

Same here - photosensitive. Light triggers them. Bright days. Windy days also triggers them. I don't have food allergies (i.e. chocolate, preservatives etc.)

I've just had them since my teens. I'll never forget the first one I ever got. It was the last day of the school holidays. It was a windy day and I was riding my bike up and down the street. I remember the excruciating pain I had but I was determined not to let it ruin my last day of holidays. Eventually, it became so bad, I just had to go lay down.

I can still remember sitting in the Principal's office, waiting for Mum to come pick me up when I had a migraine. EVIL things.

Me too auntblabby. Windy weather and I also think changes in barometric pressure!

I've got my 3D glasses on - thanks auntblabby. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I'm usually very good at coming up with unconventional solutions to problems and then again, sometimes, I don't think at all.

Oh, yes.
I had some cracker migraines when I was in my teens.
I would see spots and start to lose my vision from the outer corners of my eyes.
My arms would get pins and needles and go numb.
The pain was excruciating.
I had to lie in the dark with ice packs on my head and my eyes covered.
I'd usually be vomiting too.

They've eased in severity as I've gotten older, thankfully.

You poor thing! I'm glad they've eased off for you.

I only vomited once from them but my ex used to vomit often from them. I used to hold her hair back for her. She used to get them so bad, she wanted to belt her head against the wall.

Quiet, dark, cool, still is really the only thing that helps me. And Panadeine Forte seems to be helping at the moment, although, it's not fully gone.

I've got no sick pay left at work and I don't know how I'm going to pay the rent.

I wonder if migraines are associated with ASD's.

I think migraines are common in people with ASDs because of the associated hyper-sensitivities.

WP always has an appealing depth of field to me - but it's not leaping out at me like Star Wars was - where I got the glasses from. I might have to setup 3D vision for my monitor. Imagine:

" W R O N G P L A N E T - COMING TO YOU IN 3D"

LOL

I'm sure you're right. I'd never actually considered that before but now I think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Another minus for my list of positives/negatives for having Asperger's.
