Hey, I need you to listen to this and I need you to tell everyone. Shout it from the rooftops.

You a special and unique and so are your migraines. And you need to be treated as such and your migraines need to be treated as such.

Hi, I'm Dr Beth, osteopath here in Melbourne Headache Solutions.

I get asked quite frequently “why is it that I get dizziness?” “why is it that I am getting like pressure in my head?”, “why is it that I get nausea?”, and “why am I vomiting?”

Basically, you are unique. You are special, your brain interprets things differently. Some people will get nausea as their predominant symptom, as well as their head pain. Other people will get vomiting. Other people will get really intense light sensitivity, whereas other people will just have pounding head pain that won't go away. Other people will have a hemiplegic migraine and other people will get a vestibular migraine. In terms of why you get one versus the...

A comment that a patient recently received, “Oh, you were fine yesterday, so why do you have a migraine today?” highlights the lack of awareness and understanding of how migraines actually work.

Migraines are not like colds and cannot be predicted easily. You can be perfectly fine one minute and then suddenly hit with a migraine attack the next minute. It is not uncommon for people with migraines to have sudden, intense pain, intense nausea, an aura, and vomiting. The previous minute or day has no relation to when a migraine attack might hit, making it unpredictable.

However, some people do have an indication as to when their migraine attacks might occur. Triggers such as alcohol, certain foods, lack of sleep, or activities can increase the likelihood of a migraine attack. But for some people, migraines can hit randomly, making them a surprise attack.

Migraines are known as a silent or invisible illness. People with migraines may look perfectly fine on the...

When you are experiencing a headache or migraine it can make it difficult to participate in social events, family gatherings, and other activities. Everything from bright lights and noisy sounds to simply being around people can be a trigger. During these times, it's common to feel guilty about missing out and not spending time with loved ones.

However, there are ways to approach headaches and migraines differently so you don't have to miss out on time with loved ones. Dr Beth (osteopath) shares with us some insights on the topic during Headache and Migraine Awareness Month.

When I suffered from headaches, I found it challenging to go out to social events like pubs, clubs, and restaurants. Even simple daily activities like getting out of bed and getting dressed were difficult. I wanted to be able to attend social events and spend time with my family and friends, but often the pain was just too much.

I spoke with others who also felt like they were missing out due to their...

Hi, I'm Dr. Beth, osteopath here at Melbourne Headache Solutions. I am coming to you now from my living room because I have a chest infection at the moment, which has been particularly annoying, prolonged, and relatively severe. I've been spending the last week on my couch and in bed, not really doing very much, not being able to move very much or else, it sets off a coughing attack. I've had to lie down for most of the time which means lots of fluids and lots of rest.

Since a lot of people in Australia, particularly Victoria, and other places in the world, have been isolating from one another, wearing masks, using a lot of hand sanitizers, and just staying away from each other, there's been a decrease incident of colds and flus, which has been really nice if you've...

So, we’re talking about where do they come from, what are they, and most importantly, what can we do about them?

Hi! I’m Dr. Beth. Osteopath here at Melbourne Headache Solutions.

Chronic headaches or this new persistent daily headache, they’re essentially a threshold problem. So, with these headaches, they come on when you have reached your certain threshold and all of a sudden, the headache has now started switching on.

So, essentially, we have these building blocks that contribute and build up until essentially we have reached our threshold where the headaches will turn on.
