Can anyone tell me if it is possible for migraine to be seasonal ie meaning the patient is only affected during the months of June and July.This may sound odd,but I can assure you it is real and I would like to know why.

I've had severe migriane in the past, but mine was hormonal, & usualy bi-monthly, & also affected by barometic pressure,..... I was better than any weather forcaster at telling you there was a storm on the way......
I'm wondering if yours could be Sinus linked??, as I also suffere with Chronic Sinusitis, & the pain, nausea & light sensitivity can be similar..... if it is sinus, then possibly, you've got a problem with certain types of pollen, released in those months??
If its true migraine, (true migraine headache wont last more than 2 days) .....then I would recomend a herb "FEVERFEW", you take it daily,
& it really did stop my migrianes, I've had the odd very mild one since, but nothing like the ones that had me locked in my dark room, & i haven't taken this in years either, so seems to have mostly cured it .....
do check the contra-indications though, as I think I remeber theres a couple of drugs you shouldn't take this with.

Yes! My daughter has been taking these new very power full and expensive shots because her asthma was ssssssssso bad and allergies triggered her asthma attacks. The asthma attacks triggered migraines. Now that her asthma is somewhat under control so are her migraines. So I'm trying to say that, yes, your migraines could very well be seasonal.
By the way she found out that putting an ice pack (along with her meds) on the affected area of her migraine sometimes helped keep it down to the point where we didn't have to take her to the hospital!
I really hope this post helps you , not only with the timing of your migraines, but also with so possible causes or reasons for them.

I have never heard of headaches in only those 2 months, but many people get a migraine with a change in barometric pressure. This could be relevant where you live for those two months. There are many triggers to migraine that you rarely find in literature. My son gets a migraine from eating turkey. No one believed this at first, but even the stuffing gave him a migraine. Is it possible that something like fresh strawberries are available in June and July (as they are here) and that could be the trigger. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Have you seen a doctor about this? If they came on suddenly and you've never really had headaches before, it would be a good idea to see your doctor. It could be something more than a migraine. Migraines have all types of forms. Some people see a bright light like lightning just before or other visual distubances. If you take something like Advil and drink something with caffiene in it and it goes away then it is most likely a regular one, but if not or if you wake up with it ...it could be something that you really need to be seen in a medical facility for and quickly. I don't want to give any medical advice as I am not a doctor, but I have experience with cluster headaches and know that they can be pretty bad. Cold packs help until you can be seen.

I get migraine attacks when subjected to bright lights!
So I get them more in the summer, (when it is bright), than in the winter.

That is ironic, because I get most of mine in the spring (March - May). Do not know why. The best medication I have ever taken - and it works wonders for me - is imitrex injections.

Something stressful during those two months is triggering the attacks.
