@Moose72 , interesting stats in your blog! I'm glad you've been writing there daily. I used to, but have slowed down significantly over the last year.

I, too, wrote a couple blog articles about the links between migraines and bipolar. I wrote them quite a while ago. Migraines are something I suffered with for a period, but they haven't plagued me that much of my life. Since I would have max four migraines per month, sometimes fewer, my then neurologist prescribed "as needed" sumatriptan injections rather than a daily medication, or other. The sumatriptan injections worked great for me. Really great! But I had to get used to self administering them. In the beginning, my husband gave them to me. It only took like 10 to 20 minutes after the injection for a cool feeling to travel to my brain. With that, the migraine suddenly disappeared. In my case, nausea/vomiting was worse than my actual head pain. The nausea disappeared equally quickly.

I also experienced "silent migraines" for a period. They were odd and disconcerting.

I have not had a major migraine in a few years (knock on wood). I'm not sure why they stopped.
