Migraine is Not “Just a Headache.”

Migraines, Barometric Pressure, and How Structured Water Changed Everything for Me

Migraines are often misunderstood as just bad headaches. But for those who live with them, the reality is much more complex and often life-disrupting.

A migraine can begin hours or even days before the pain sets in. Symptoms might include:

• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Brain fog and trouble focusing
• Poor sleep
• Visual disturbances like zigzag lines or blind spots
• Mood swings, energy bursts just before the auras start
• Fatigue, and sometimes nausea

These aren't random. They’re part of a neurological process involving several important areas of the brain.

So What Exactly Happens in the Brain During a Migraine?

Research suggests that a migraine may start in the hypothalamus. This part of the brain helps regulate sleep, hormone levels, and thirst. That could explain why early warning signs include yawning, mood changes, disrupted sleep, and food cravings.

Some people also experience what's called a migraine aura. These temporary neurological disturbances can include visual distortions, tingling, or speech difficulties. They occur when electrical activity spreads across the brain, altering how neurons fire and how blood flows.

Fortunately, I have only experienced the speech difficulties twice, but it's very disturbing to try to form a sentence, but can't get the words out correctly. 

Then the pain phase begins. This is where the trigeminal nerve comes in. It carries sensations from the face and scalp. During a migraine, it becomes overly sensitive, and the threshold for pain drops. Simple things like bending over or being in a brightly lit room can suddenly become painful. Sounds at a normal volume all of a sudden seem way too loud. Music can become annoying. 

Studies show that people with migraines have brains that are more easily triggered by external stimuli and less capable of blocking pain signals once they start.

My Personal Trigger: Barometric Pressure

One of my biggest migraine triggers has always been low barometric pressure. When storms were on the horizon, I could usually feel the shift before the weather arrived. It meant a day lost to pain, light sensitivity, and exhaustion. I would have to go to bed and wait it out. 

I tried almost everything. Diet changes. Supplements. Sleep routines. Medications. Herbs, including cannabinoids. Some helped, but none of them gave lasting relief.

What Finally Helped: QELBY Structured Water

Things changed when I started drinking water structured with QELBY ceramic balls. These terra cotta-colored balls are made using a patented somatid ceramic technology from South Korea. They're created by blending natural ore with somatids, then firing them at high temperatures to form a unique ceramic material.

When placed in water, the balls provoke the release of free electrons. This changes the water’s structure and charge. The result is what scientists call EZ water, or exclusion zone water. It has a strong negative zeta potential and is thought to improve how water interacts with cells.

In simple terms, it supports better hydration at the cellular level, which may help stabilize the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote more efficient energy transfer within the body.

The Results Speak for Themselves

Since I began drinking QELBY water, I’ve gone months without a migraine. Even when weather patterns shift, I feel stable. For me, that’s nothing short of life-changing.

We’re still learning how structured water affects the body, but based on my experience, it’s one of the most promising tools I’ve found for managing neurological symptoms.

Migraines impact far more than the head. They involve the entire nervous system and can affect mood, hormones, sleep, and more. If you deal with migraines triggered by things like weather or hormones, it might be time to look beyond conventional treatments.

Water is the foundation of life. But not all water works the same.
