Yikes, I am doomed Sad ! I have at least 4 and possibly 6 of these! I guess they are really additive factors for me, though. My migraines are mostly hormonal.

Sorry to hear that, Cindy :[

Migraine are often co morbid with quite a number of other diseases/disorders.
I suspect many of our daily or frequent symptoms we contribute to migraine could be to this other condition.

Like, for me, I recently started suspecting that although my fingers never turn blue or chalky white or any other color,
I may in fact have some light form of Raynaud's, on the account how my fingers and often the entire hands are extremely,
painfully cold. Feet, too. Getting them warm brings immediate relief.

And for some reason thanks to you, I also remembered celiac should be added to the list.

Oh, yes, Celiac disease for sure. I have talked to many people whose migraines went away on a gluten free diet. Not me, I am special! Zoe has very cold hands and feet, too. Her feet turn purple sometimes. I always forget to mention that to her Dr.

Cheryl, I have been reading your posts on the Care Pages. I am glad Anna felt better while she was there. I pray that you can find someone at home to continue the program.
Hugs,
Cindy

That's an awesome list of autoimmune diseases in there.

One disease that they are now guessing is antibodies attacking ourselves, is Menieres (vertigo and dizziness) - the antibodies attacking the liquid that acts as the body's spirit level near the ear canal.

It does make me wonder if you have one part of the body being attacked, just how many others are also being attacked that science hasn't cottoned on to yet.

Add Trigeminal Neuralgia... That definitely triggers migraines for me.
And IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome or maybe that is just co-morbid... But what does co-morbid mean anyway? They are linked.

Guys, you are great:]

I updated the list, which grew to number 44 which in important Polish poetic literature was sort of mythical number lololol
Linked to all sorts of mysterious predictions, beats me which ones, suffice to say it was big kahuna, this 44 :]

but silly me, with nonsense I digress.

Please keep adding your ideas, anytime. I will be updating the list accordingly. and thank you guys!
