Background: got terrible migraines as a child, suddenly stopped around 16. Then last summer I started getting at least one a week (am now 30). They stopped in the autumn and I haven't had one until about a fortnight ago, I've had 4 since then.
What's going on? Is it summer related? They also started after I'd moved to a new house. It's a south facing house and I'd read on here once that apparently that can be bad for headaches. I guess the light is brighter?
I am already utterly miserable and sick of having to cancel things. All that helps is lying in a dark room with something cool on my head, which is pretty impractical given that I'm looking after toddler ds.
I'm sure I'm drinking enough. Migraleve/cocodamol don't help. I stay away from screens as much as possible. Have cut out caffeine and chocolate as they're triggers for me. Am I missing anything?!
