Migraine Headaches

For years my migraines are triggered by low pressure fronts coming thru my area resulting in either rain or snow. For years doctors thought I was nuts, but I could predict the weather was changing and rain/snow was on its way, even before the outside weather changed.

My migraines are triggered by east winds and I know of at least two other people having the same trigger. I am able to prevent mine by using an electric heater in my bedroom at night during east winds and cold weather. I have been doing this for 20 years. Should I forget to switch on the heater, the result is I wake at around 5a.m. with a migraine that can last for up to 3 days.
