But I think it is neurological. there is so many possible connections. The screwed up sleeping pattern I have,

can make you feel really awful upon waking up.
Certain triptans, like Maxalt I take can make you feel like fibro.
Musculoskeletal: Infrequent were muscle weakness, stiffness, myalgia, muscle cramp, musculoskeletal pain, arthralgia, and muscle spasm.

Ok I just read this on the "This is possibly Fibro not migraine" post.
Um, I didn't know about fibro until... about 3 minutes ago.
After reading that website... I thinking whether or not I have Fibro or not...?
I'm not asking for a diagnose or anything but it's something to think about...

I take maxalt, but once in a GREAT while. so i don't think I get those symptoms from maxalt
I mean I get the side effects that are on that website. But what I don't understand is that those side effects are effects from every medication I have considered and from my migraines.

Could it be possible that i have fibro? Could I be getting the side effects from fibro instead of the migraines?? But that couldn't be true, because fibro doesn't cause the whole head pain, aura thing... or does it???

Fibro can indeed cause migraines. Migraine drs say they are co morbid.
Fibro patients say they are part of the fibro.
I am stil trying to work out the cuase and effect.
But given have no triggers, no family history and both begun with hormones....
google a few fibro sites and compare symptoms...they are many and confusing, but...
Many people with Fibro have headaches and migraines...

Good luck
