The second patient was a 41-year-old woman who also found that crying triggered migraines. Other triggers in this patient included stress, menstruation, weather changes, oversleeping and missed meals. As with the first patient, crying associated with happiness or peeling onions did not cause migraine. "Only in the second patient was crying during a sad movie or theatrical production also a trigger," Evans reports. "I suspect that many... patients have crying migraines which we have not asked about," Evans concludes. SOURCE: Headache 1998;38:799-800.-From Reuters News-Dr. Randolph W.
