PTSD and Migraine: What's the Connection and What do we Need to Know?

This video is intended to raise awareness of the connection between PTSD and Migraine, because it is so treatable with a therapy known as EMDR. This treatment rewires the brain so that the traumatic memories are stored in a neutral part of the brain, rather than being linked to the emotion center in the brain. Interested in learning more about brain health and fixing the root cause of headaches? 👉 https://migraineclass.com One third of people with migraine meet criteria for the diagnosis of PTSD, compared to about 10% of the population without migraine. But most of us don't realize it. Part of the reason is that one of the main symptoms of PTSD is avoidance, or numbing.

AMELIA SCOTT BARRETT ★☆★ After more than 20 years as a Stanford-trained Neurologist, I'm seeing a big problem out there. So many people with migraines are "powering through...". Gotta get the kids to soccer? Take some ibuprofen. Work deadline coming up? Pull out the prescription meds. I'm not judging ~ I totally get it, because I've done those things too. The problem is that when you get to the point where you're having 10 or more headache days a month, then your brain starts to physically change. It's kind of like laying down train tracks that make it easier for the "migraine train" to run through your head. Instead of powering through, we need to listen to the pain signals and figure out to help the brain actually heal. Does the brain need different nutrients? Do we need to remove toxins? Rewire to the parasympathetic state of healing? We can use modern science to figure out exactly what we need in order to heal, and then we can monitor our bodies with devices to be sure we are making that happen. Curious? Good!
