Different problem. Already had my bite fixed $$$$$
January 29
I had unrelenting, worsening migraines every day for two decades. No medication helped. Then, my Sjogrens, which is Sle's "sister" disease, caused all my teeth to fall out & the migraines subsided. The gradual wearing of my teeth was causing a misaligned "bite", triggering referred neurological pain to my head.
A woman who attended our church had a similar outcome when her bite was corrected.

A MyLupusTeam member might find it helpful to track when migraines occur to identify patterns or triggers related to lupus activity. This information can be valuable when working with your doctor to manage both your lupus and migraine symptoms.
If you're experiencing these headaches, it's important to discuss them with your rheumatologist or healthcare provider, as they can help determine the best treatment approach for managing migraines alongside your lupus.
