The latest BBC article on migraines confirms what we've known for years: triggers are often symptoms, not causes. But while science focuses on downstream mechanisms like CGRP and electrical waves, they're still not addressing the root issue, brain energy and electrolyte failure. Here's what they're missing, and why it matters.

This blog explores the postdrome phase of a migraine, often called the “migraine hangover.” It explains what happens after the pain fades—fatigue, brain fog, mood shifts, and more—and why these symptoms are a normal part of the migraine cycle. You'll learn common postdrome symptoms, how to manage recovery through rest, hydration, and nutrition, and why understanding this phase is key to full support and prevention. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to better manage or support someone through every stage of a migraine.
