My wife's migraines are suddenly worse after a new diagnosis of PD. Any thoughts or tips?
Hello everyone. I am a caregiver, although my wife is very early in whatever her PD journey will be and does not need physical care---just positive, emotional support. She was diagnosed about a month ago after a persistent tremor in her right (dominant) hand. Our current main concern is that her migraines are coming back. She has had 2 in the last week after many, many years of keeping them away through daily amitriptyline, which she is still taking. I have read online that there may be an association of migraines (particularly those with auras) and PD. Has this happened to anyone in the group? If so, do you have any advice for managing them?
Hi
thanks for reaching out. I am sure this is very difficult for her to manage. I am sending over this article from one of our members. She shares a very similar experience with her migraines, talks about how migraines are a comorbidity and offers tips and advice. I hope this is helpful: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/connection-pd-migraines. Jill (Team Member)
