The Doctor looked weary when I visited him again about my migraines. I can’t blame him - he’d suggested various common triggers for me to avoid, and none of the conventional remedies he’d tried had had any effect. But this time I was bringing a new theory to him. A friend had heard that changes in the weather could trigger migraines.The doctor looked at me with something resembling interest for the first time.Imagine my surprise, and relief, when he said “Yes, I heard that at a medical conference recently”. “Changes in barometric pressure, eh?
