Migraines & Headaches Common Among IC Patients

Published by ff at 4:00 am under IC Disease, Symptoms Edit This

I guess it’s rather ironic that as I sit here writing this post about migraines, headaches and IC Disease, I just finished taking my third daily dose of pain medication for my constant headaches.  I was just reading some information on how common a symptom headaches and migraines are in IC patients and I realized that I have gotten so used to having daily headaches and frequent migraines that I don’t remember what it was like to not have them.

In 1997, an IC Disease report revealed that almost 25% of IC patients surveyed also suffer from migraine disease.  In the general population, migraines affect approximately 18% of those surveyed.  What I couldn’t find is why there may be a link to the two.  Is it hormones?  Stress?   What are your thoughts?
