Today we’re going to be talking about something that affects 15% of the global population

and is not only one of the most common causes of disability but the most costly neurological

- maybe the rest of the world too but only the European Union gave me figues for it…

The thing that leaves me feeling for a large part of the month like:

Many people misunderstand migraines as being ‘just a bad headache’ but there are actually

a range of side affects and at least seven different types of migraine. And believe me,

they’re all much worse than ‘just a headache’:

In this video I’m going to explain more about what a migraine actually is and why

it really, really sucks. There won’t be coping tips per se as I’m going to make

a follow up video gathering those together so if you have any tips and tricks for making

it through a migraine please leave them in the comments.

No weird fake cures like ‘sniff a rock and spin around three times on one spot under

- exactly, Migraine!Me, that’s why I’m here to protect you.

The underlying causes of migraines are unknown, however, they are believed to be related to

a mix of environmental and genetic factors- running in families in two-thirds of cases.

It affects two to three times more women than men and most often starts at puberty, becoming

Oh and FYI: while migraines were once believed to be more common in those of high intelligence,

this does not appear to be true… sorry chaps, I know we’re all disappointed by that.

But what makes ME qualified to talk about migraines? Well…

In a 30 day month I have 20 days of painful migraines.

I also got discharged from the migraine clinic because I had a migraine.

Oh yeah, and I recently went to the neuro-otologist to have my hearing looked into because no

one really knows why I can’t hear because my ear bones are fine and my cochlear is fine

and the nerves from my ears to my brain seem to be fine but then they realised it’s because

I’ve actually had an ongoing migraine for the last 14 years and it’d destroyed the

part of my brain that works out what sounds are and what they mean and I don’t know

how to feel about that news so I’m burying it in this video.

Am I going to loose more bits of my brain? Who knows! Can’t tell you! But I’m quietly

- yes, this is the Jessica version of freaking out. It’s very mellow. Of course my inside

Oh my God, my brain is liquifying and pouring out of my nose!

- it’s not, that’s just how a migraine feels.

Someone is literally poking me in the eye with a hot poker!

- that’s really not the right use of ‘literally’

- well, it’s either that or panic, which is not very productive so…

Let’s talk about what a migraine actually is!

Migraines are believed to be a neurovascular disorder- that means it’s a problem with

the blood vessels that supply the brain and spinal cord with freshly oxygenated blood.

Since our nervous system depends on a constant supply of oxygen and other nutrients from

this network of blood vessels… it’s not great when things go wrong!

However, researchers aren’t yet sure whether migraines are caused by neuronal mechanisms

or blood vessels are setting things off… maybe it’s both!

Spoiler: no one really knows what causes migraines.

I could give you a whole medical schpeal about different nerves and maybe serotonin and triggers

and smells and fatigue but really no one knows why I end up like this for a large part of

- But if I can’t tell you what starts a migraine, I can at least tell you what MAKES

a migraine and thus answer that age old question: ‘what’s the difference between a migraine

So, there are four possible phases to a migraine:

The prodrome, which occurs before the headache and is the sign it’s coming…

The aura, which immediately precedes the headache The pain, also known as ‘headache’

The postdrome, effects experienced following the headache.

A headache is a pain in your head, a migraine is so much more! Since your nervous system

is affected you’ll be feeling symptoms like: irritability, constipation, fatigue, sensitivity

to smells, blurs and lights in your vision, pins and needles in your hands and face, vomiting

Interestingly, you don’t have to have all four of the phases to make a migraine. I often

have all of the symptoms of a migraine but without the actual pain in my head. So I have

visual disturbances, feel very lightheaded and spacy, nauseas, and like my entire body

is made of fresh scar tissue but my head doesn’t hurt so I can’t work out why I can no longer

[sight] We classically think of a migraine and assume

someone has to lie down in a dark room but that isn’t always the case. Personally,

it’s rare for me that light makes my pain worse or that looking at a screen affects

my migraine. I can happily read something on my phone whilst feeling like I’m dying

and not feel... more like I’m dying…?

- that’s not a great way to explain that.

actually it’s really helpful because I feel less alone.

To break down those four migraine stages:

1. Prodromal or premonitory symptoms occur in about 60% of those with migraines and they’re

the ones I hate the most because they’re so darn confusing and… awful. You don’t

yet know the migraine is coming so there is seemingly no reason for you to be feeling

like this, and then once you twig there is the awful realisation that you’re going

to get hit with the migraine! Symptoms can include: altered mood, irritability, depression,

euphoria, fatigue, stiff muscles, sensitivity to smells or noise and food craving.

Personally, I get very restless and full of dread. I’ll try and watch something and

only be able to make it 2 minutes in before I have to switch to something else, and then

something else, and then something else… That’s very rare for me. I’m the subscriber

who pulls up people’s watch time averages. I’ve recently become obsessed with Plumbella

and I watch until the end screen on every single video.
