similarity to migraines

[Guest guest]

I shared the 20/20 link with my siblings, three of whom have the same misery

with misophonia. My sister said the symptoms seem similar to migraines. Not

all migraines cause pain, some are visual disturbances that escalate. Three of

my siblings and I also get visual (ocular) migraines and they all experienced

visual migraines since they were very young.

She said misophonia sounded like an auditory migraine to her based on her years

of experiences with visual ones. With her visual migraines she experiences

sensitivity to lights, colors, patterns, visual effects, etc. that most people

don't seem to notice.

Her idea sounded interesting.

That is interesting. I started getting migraines as a young adult - really bad

for one summer - but I've had the misophonia since long before then, for sure.

However, it has been more pronounced now as an adult - or maybe short term

memory just serves better, now that we know it's an actual thing.

My migraines in the past couple of years are most visual - spots of light,

blurs, that kind of thing. I only get the pain headache rarely now.

I'd be interested to know if other misophonics have migraines, too.
