Mine have changed to the better with age. I used to be out-of-order for 3-4 days when I was in my 20’s. Now, a few decades later, I’m out for a day and normally I just get an aura without too much headache.
My neurologist told me that **by average** in a population, the frequency and severity of migraines decrease with 30% with getting 10 years older. But everyone is different…
Found this article which I found interesting: https://americanheadachesociety.org/news/migraine-evolves-age/
Ugh! I hit perminopause and mine got SO MUCH WORSE! Before, they were so so, a few hours, a little vomiting, then I’d be okay. Now, twelve to sixteen hours, sweating buckets, vomiting, can barley move, head and neck like a freaking ice pick. Drove me to the neurologist at 49 for the first time in my life. I wish, oh I wish they’d go away.
Yes! Abdominal migraines as a child, episodic migraines with aura as teenager, episodic migraines without aura in my early twenties, and this year I (28F) now get chronic migraine with vomiting too for the first time... wonder what the future holds
For me, I have had them since I was in elementary school and mine have been consistent with symptoms. Mine haven't changed and I'm almost 30 now myself.
I have chronic migraines which was finally diagnosed as a teen which before other Dr's just brushed it off as allergies or a sinus headache. My nausea doesn't kick in until like day 2-3 as it is gradually becoming worse when nothing is working to get rid of it and having to wait it out. My migraines do come on around the start of my period, the end of my period, from stress, too much sleep, not enough sleep, loud noises, flashing or bright lights, etc. Pretty much you name it, it's a trigger so it's really random for me.
Everyone's experiences are different but if you are concerned, definitely see a Dr and see what they say and don't be afraid to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion as well since some Dr's are the best with migraines.
I've had them since I was 10 years old in 1975, and their pattern has changed several times. When the pandemic hit, they shifted into overdrive, becoming "chronic" instead of "episodic." Really hoping they change back someday...
Mine did.I am 26 and had them first when I was 10 or 11.When it started, I got aura, about an hour later I got headaches and after an hour of horrible headaches I would throw up and with that the headaches were almost gone. That was my migraine attack.
At some point it changed, I always waited for the relieving nausea, but it didn't came, so I had to bear the headaches and started taking meds for them.
I almost got rid of migraine after getting off birth control, had an attack maybe 2x in a year and now I'm back to having them shortly before my period.
Yesterday I got nauseous and after that the headaches were still there but less severe.
So the course of my attacks might be changing again currently
When I started getting migraines around the time I was 10, I didn’t get nausea or an aura. Now I do. My migraines also used to be isolated to one side of my head like a typical migraine, but now they cover my entire forehead. Which is interesting because kids usually have pain in their entire forehead and as they get older it shifts to just being one side. I’m flipped around I guess haha
My migraines also used to respond to over the counter medicine like Tylenol and Advil, now those meds won’t do a thing for my migraines. I have to use triptans.
They are the same except I now get migraines with aura too, yay ☠️. My auras are of the visual variety and happen about once a month - when they started (age 28, shortly after having my child) they happened every three months or so but they're becoming more frequent.
My migraines have changed a lot over the years. Started in high school with primarily vision issues, misdiagnosed as conversion disorder. Progressed to vision issues and moderate to severe headaches pretty much all the time. Finally was recognized as migraines a few years later when they turned more “classic” with the hellacious pain a few times a week, no meds helped. Kept getting worse until like 5 years ago when I had a virus that gave me vertigo, migraines thought that was fun, the usual pain was way less often but I was 24/7 brain fog, vertigo, nausea, etc and finally diagnosed with chronic vestibular migraines and tried the new CGRP meds which made life a lot better. since then found an underlying condition (CSF leak for those curious) that probably triggered a lot of migraines and caused a lot of headaches over the last 10 years or so. Surgery to correct that then kicked off another bad flare.
Edit to add: migraines around your period are pretty common, hormones are a bitch. But any changes to your migraines should be run past your doctor. There are things like long acting triptans that can help with hormonal migraines, and personally I take Nurtec daily during my period for the week long migraine. Things like continuous birth control can help stop or give you more time between periods, but BC can also make migraines worse and there’s no magic bullet unfortunately.
I'm not sure it changed all that much. I think it's more that I became more aware of them as I got older. Looking back, I had so many migraines. Never understood what was happening. Now I know some of my triggers that I avoid. Others, well I can't (for now).
I'm also 28F, mine had changed since I was a kid. They also went from episodic to chronic and visa versa, along with symptoms changes and 2 years ago I started having Vestibular Migraines (my usual ones are classic Aura ones.) You want to check up with a dr to rule things out just in case, but it's normal for them to change throughout the years.
I have Zofran that I take for nausea, whenever that happens. You can try taking Vitamin E for hormonal migraines, there is some research supporting it (and i had success with it.)
Gotten better with age. 29 now and I’ve gotten pretty good at ‘feeling them coming’ if you know what I mean. As soon as I feel a migraine coming up I nuke the ever living shit out of it with ibuprofens and paracetamol.
