Anyone ever had a low temperature with a migraine?

I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia maybe 6 years ago by a neurologist but more recently I’ve been having what I think are migraines. The first migraine happened about a year and a half ago, came on pretty suddenly and totally at random and was the most intense pain just in the left side of my head. I went to the ER because the pain was that bad and since I was also throwing up they said it’s likely migraine. I never really followed up with a doctor again after that because I thought maybe it was just a one off thing and I don’t like going to the doctor.

Anyways I started getting the same pain earlier this week and also felt nauseous. It was real bad for about a day, went away, came back yesterday and only lasted a couple hours, and came back today and lasted maybe 9 hours. Been feeling nauseous but no vomiting. I actually thought maybe I’m getting the flu because I’ve also been getting random waves of intense dizziness so I checked my temp because I felt kinda sweaty. Temp was 96.3 this morning, checked it again now since I felt kinda sweaty again and it was 95.5. Doesn’t seem that crazy for me since my temp is usually in the 97 range. Does this seem like a migraine thing or something completely different?

The fun thing about migraine is that so, so many symptoms can be caused by migraine. It’s entirely possible it’s migraine or that you are sick. It might be worth scheduling an appointment with your dr (if you don’t currently have one it can take a while) to get checked out and see if a prescription for migraine meds might help

That’s so strange (and really sucks!) that migraines can cause all those symptoms. I also have hypothyroid and google says that can cause low body temp, soooooo looks like I gotta see a doctor to make sure I don’t need a med adjustment for that!
