I just figured out another migraine trigger for me - a good cry (or is it "bad cry" in this case?  ). Twice in as many weeks I have had a good crying spell, and soon after developed the migraine. I do remember this happening at other times as well.
Just in case this helps someone - not that you can always avoid the cry!

Amy, that sounds like a hormone shift which caused the good cry and then the migraine!

Helene, I was going to say the same thing. Your warning signal is the cry...I don't think the migraine is FROM the cry. I could be wrong. I do get fierce headaches from sobbings, but not a migraine.
It takes a long time to sniff out and track down trigger factors...also warning signs. For many, the aura is a signal that it's coming. A friend of mine had years of migraines and finally figured out she had a little pain at the top of her head before it would come on.
KNOWING that it's coming sometimes helps keep the pain a little at bay. Take the remedies before it hits full force. Before I was married I could take Imitrex (pill, the nasal spray made me sick) that helped, but it was still a day lost from either side effects from the meds or migraine.

In this particular case, I think all the triggers were there but the greatest of these was a virus. My children are falling like dominoes with a wicked headache and Mary Chris had one start a couple of days after mine. Of course,Mary Chris and I live in the same environmental conditions so the barometer is the same across the street as it is here but this one looks to be a bug...

We've had the same virus across the rivers in MD. 24 hours of killer headache followed by nausea, then a head cold...sound familiar?

Yep. Very weird. The headache has definitely lasted longer than 24 hours, but that's the bug.
