Different problem. Already had my bite fixed $$$$$

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.

Have you been diagnosed with lupoid migraines or experienced migraines related to lupus?

Yes, migraines are definitely connected to lupus. Migraine-like headaches occur in about 20 percent of people with lupus, making them a fairly common symptom of the condition.

These headaches are considered a neurological symptom of lupus. The connection is real and recognized by medical professionals who specialize in lupus care.

Some key points about lupus and migraines:

* They're part of the neurological symptoms that lupus can cause
* About 1 in 5 people with lupus experience migraine-like headaches
* These aren't just regular headaches - they can be severe and debilitating
* They may occur during lupus flares when inflammation increases

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.
