Migraines and earthquakes - hey midwesterners been miserable lately?

Does anyone know if there is a connection between M and earthquakes? I know I've been absolutely miserable the last few days (I know there is medication issues but it's not all of it) and can't find a reason for it. Normally fronts do it, but I'm wondering if those of us sensitive to weather changes would also sense an earthquake? I understand weather more than earthquakes but it seems to be the only other noteworthy event as of late - if not it could just be a coincidence....

It doesn't seem to me that there is a connection and I have lived in California all my life. When I was away from California and earthquakes, on vacation, I didn't get any more or any less migraines. Maybe some of the other common earthquake area folks will have something to say too.

I've been miserable for months...long before the earthquake.

Yes, the weather we've been having has been brutal on me. Plus, following up from the holidays which is always torture for me it's been tough. Worse in years.

We discussed this, I think on the old forum. Loads of us seem to have been having a worse time (myself included) all over the western world since about October.....
Our weather has been so changeable. No rain, loads of rain. Freezing cold, loads of snow. Milder spell, back to snow....
And to accompany all that WIND. I cant even leave the house when it is windy.....

The 3.8 hit the next town over from where I live! It was freaky when it sounded like a freight train was coming through my house and it was vibrating at 4 AM. My dog was NOT happy.

Fortunately Crystal slept through it and missed the after-shock.

I didn't notice any change in her M though.

I forgot we were so close!

Did you feel an after shock???

There really is a relation between Earthquakes and Migraines. Whenever you have a bad migraine, it feels as if there is an earthquake going on inside your head. Any other relationship is purely speculative and without scientific foundation.

My migraines usually feel as if someone is setting off depth charges inside my head with every beat of my heart. I wonder if there is any relationship between depth charges and migraines? Just kidding.

I used to live in the area of that 3.8 earthquake west of Chicago. We have been having many small earthquakes in the Oklahoma City area and I have been knocked in the head with the bed headboard one night with a 3.0. That was the only time that I ever ended up with a headache because of an earthquake.

LOL, Hal!

Hal - you are a riot. I will keep your comments in mind. Living in the midwest most of my life, we don't get many earthquakes and I didn't have a clue if there was a relationship. I just knew that there were people that could sense the (blast it - can't come up with the word) coming of an earthquake and wondered if this was something we were sensitive to as well.

I didn't feel the aftershock and neither did Crystal. She was at home, but by that time I was in Schaumburg.

Anyone live in Chile? If they do I think their migraines are probably now the least of their worries.

I agree with Hal's comments. Just when I think the weather may be playing a part, the weather theory vanishes. It probably does play "some" part, but so does a lot of other stuff. I do not waste my time trying to figure it out anymore. If we knew what was sparking the ignition, there would be no need for this forum. We could avoid these "triggers". Even the weather one. If I knew the weather was a huge factor, I would move to a climate with more consistent weather. You don't see too many people on the forum doing that, so that tells me they aren't 100 percent convinced.

You know...I think we are an odd combination of things. Weather has been so good for the last week and now all of a sudden, not feeling so good, but then again it could be any number of things...not predicting evil M but I'm not ruling it out yet. But may be a good reason to pack it in for today...
