Most people get this one wrong — including doctors.

True or false: you can have migraine without headache.

Migraine is a neurological disease, not a headache.

Head pain is one symptom, and it's optional. Vestibular migraine can be pure dizziness. Migraine aura can happen with zero pain. Kids can get abdominal migraine — the attack lives in their gut. If someone told you "it can't be migraine, your head doesn't even hurt," send them this. It is important to rule out TIA/stroke before calling it silent migraine.

Educational content only, not medical advice — talk to your own doctor about your symptoms.

A neurologist demonstrates migraine triggers the only appropriate way.

Send this to the person who says "but you had coffee yesterday and were fine." That's the whole point. Migraine triggers don't work alone, they stack. Your brain has a threshold, and every trigger fills the cup: the skipped meal, the bad sleep, the storm front, the glass of wine. Some days your cup is nearly empty and you get away with everything. Other days it's already full and one sip tips it over. It was never "just the wine." It was the wine on top of everything else. If someone in your life still doesn't get why your triggers seem "inconsistent," this 30 seconds explains it better than you've ever been allowed to in an argument.

A pre-med, a med student, and a neurologist define migraine. One of them briefly got fired.

What is migraine? The answers show exactly why this disease keeps getting minimized — it's a disabling neurological condition, not "a bad headache," and one billion people live with it while med schools spend about two hours teaching it. No employees were harmed or fired in the making of this video. They're doing fine and remain gainfully employed.

Send this to someone who still thinks migraine is just a bad headache.

2 Doctors Play Yes, No, or Depends: Migraine Treatment Edition.

Is Fioricet a good option for migraine?

2 Doctors Play Yes, No, or Depends: Migraine Edition.

I sat down with Dr. Peter McAllister, a board-certified neurologist and one of the country’s leading headache specialists with decades of migraine experience, to weigh in on migraine triggers and treatments. Two neurologists, one honest answer.

Yes, that's a catheter. Yes, it's in the nose. Yes, it can stop a migraine.

This is an SPG block — a sphenopalatine ganglion block. The SPG is a bundle of nerves that sits just behind your nasal cavity and plays a big role in migraine and cluster headache pain. By delivering numbing medication through a thin, soft catheter in the nose, we can quiet that nerve bundle down — sometimes breaking a migraine cycle in minutes. No needles through the skin, no sedation, and most patients say the weirdest part is the anticipation. It doesn't work for everyone, and how long relief lasts varies from person to person — but for the right patient, it can be a useful tool that too few people know exists. If you get migraine attacks and nothing's working, ask your doctor whether an SPG block makes sense for you. I'm a neurologist and pain specialist — follow for more on treatments your 7-minute appointment never had time to cover.

How to fix the most common cause of vertigo (BPPV, caused by ear crystals).

Dix-Hallpike test + Epley maneuver for positional vertigo (BPPV).

The most common cause of vertigo isn’t a brain tumor, a stroke, or “stress.” It’s BPPV — tiny calcium crystals in your inner ear that drift into the wrong canal. Every time you roll over, look up, or tilt your head, they slosh around and your brain thinks the room is spinning.

The Dix-Hallpike test confirms it in about 30 seconds. The Epley maneuver treats it: around 8 in 10 people improve after a single session, no medication required.

Important: this only works for BPPV. If your vertigo comes with double vision, slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or a severe new headache, that’s not crystals, that’s an ER visit. And if you have neck problems, don’t attempt this at home; get it done by someone trained.

As always, this is for educational purposes, not medical advice. I'm a doctor, but I'm not your doctor.

Migraine hacks round two, rated 0-10. Two neurologists, zero mercy.

Defend your favorite hack in the comments — and send this to whoever thinks lying in a dark room is dramatic.

The “weekend migraine” is real and it has a name.

The “letdown migraine” is real. When the stress of the week suddenly drops, cortisol falls with it, and for a lot of people that drop is the trigger, not the stress itself. Add in sleeping late (shifted sleep schedule), a drink or two, skipped meals, and more sun and dehydration than usual, and a holiday weekend becomes a perfect storm. Follow for more migraine science from a neurologist and pain specialist.
