This is really interesting . . . I'm close to 2 people w/severe migraine problems and they both have something very similar happen, and it begins just prior to their worst attacks. The one who had/has this the most often spirals into a panic attack when this happens. (Does this part sound familiar to anyone? I ask because my daughter had the panic thing ramp up in association w/the worst IBS attacks.) This migraine sufferer also got the advice (from a therapist advising her re: the panic) to stand in a cold shower when things started to go this way for her. So, the fight/flight/freeze response has been triggered inappropriately in these cases . . . (I suppose it could be something associated w/severe pain or the repetition of incidents of severe pain, rather than a commonality more specific to migraine and IBS?) kem (daughter w/ibs-d)
