I noticed with my last Migraine I had a really angry attitude one day before the Migraine pain. This happens alot in general. Is this typical or normal for the Prodrome phase? I can`t help but wonder what is going on in the brain that would trigger that kind of symptom.

I notice, for me, I get extreemly short and also cranky a couple days to a day before. Unless it's a weather triggered one.

So I can see that happening. Then the guilt/sad depression sets in after. Yep the cycle continues.

Hi Khrystaa,

On a few occasions I have become "grumpy" before a Migraine attack, but not on a regular basis for my Migraines.

Some typical prodrome symptoms can be irritability, depression and moodiness. It is important to remember that each persons prodrome may be a bit different from the next. Anatomy of a Migraine does a great job of explaining the four phases and symtpoms of a Migraine attack.

Does that help any?

Khrystaa - I often get grumpy before a migraine, though not always. If I feel really grumpy and I'm not overtired it's a pretty good indication a migraine is coming. sometimes it helps me to know that - like I realize everything in life is not awful and out to get me, it's just prodrome and I can go take my meds and get through it.

I've been known to get a bit grumpy from time to time when a migraine is thinking about settling in, too. Definitely, this is annoying, and merits a big UGH!

I always get very irritable- everything gets on my nerves- it's definitely a forewarning of a migraine for me. Strangely enough, I also get a craving for sweets, especially chocolate.

For me, I tend to be pretty grumpy during the actual migraine. I'm sure most of us aren't the happiest of people when we are in pain but alot of times I can be overly grumpy. I have to remember that it isn't anyone's fault I'm in pain and have to take a step back and re-evaluate. That's when I use my toolbox to settle myself down. I don't yell or scream (that would be a huge ouch) but I can get pretty snappy. Thankfully, my family knows it is the migraine talking and not my "real" personality. Smiler

My DH says there are two people inside of me. There's getting ready to have a migraine Tracie (definitely a naughty word, impossible to live around person), and then there's sweet, rational, normal Tracie. He can predict a migraine about 6 hours before I have it by the mood switch!
