Hi Im wondering if there is anyone else going through treatment that has chronic migraine and is finding they are getting daily migraines with the radiotherapy. The radiotherapy nurses said they dont think so , but there are so many very small changes that can kick off a migraine when its chronic, that I would like to confer with other chronic migrainers. It might just be a coincidental flare up - not sure.

I found another thread from a year ago where someone was getting daily migraines and they were told that it was an effect from the radiotehrapy. My gut feeling was that it was, but my nurses told me it wasnt! But not sure how much they know how radiotehrapy impacts on other chronic conditions
