This is one of my pet peeves as a migraine sufferer, and I know lots of others who feel the same — it’s not their fault if they have never had to suffer a migraine, I envy them — but there’s nothing worse than someone trying to sympathise with you by saying that they also had a really bad headache last week so they know how you feel. Ugh. A migraine is so much more than just a headache, for me that is one of the most minor parts of my suffering — the eye disturbances and nausea are the worst.

Rant over.

Now let me tell you about Mediclim, it’s a site I came across a while ago that you can sign up to for free and then you will be alerted in advance when the weather is up to something that is known to trigger ailments such as migraine, diabetes and Asthma triggers.

Mediclim is a free service that alerts you in advance of flare-ups for migraines, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and asthma.

It’s an interesting service, I admit I didn’t even know that the weather had any thing to do with migraines — though I know that it does with arthritis, my mum is a sufferer and is always blaming it on the weather when she’s feeling bad!

I have signed up myself to see if I find it accurate and useful, and will tell my mum about it and see if she is interested :)
