Diclofenac and ice packs on my neck and temples. I use to take a prescription sleeping pill to sleep through the headache, but now I managed to meditate myself to sleep....
I was on amitriptyline for about 5-6 years starting at age 15 and I never had an issue with it. I got off when my headaches were under control for a few years. I got back on it when my right side...
I would recomend to try another neurologist. Your symptoms do not sound out of the ordinary. Some physical therapists are trained to use a cannalith on patients with meniere's disease and I hear it...
You have every right to question your diagnosis. Every doctor I saw said it was due to migraines except for my new (third) neurologist said it may be a chance it is due to seizures. Though highly...
Talk to your neurologist before you see a chiropactor. A neurologist told me that manipulation of the neck can cause nerve damage. He recomended seeing a physical therapist instead for neck pain. Be...
I've cut out a lot of food triggers from my diet since I was 15. I wish I knew about them sooner to avoid all those migraines as a child. Still get them if I unknowingly ingest them like artificial...
I don't get headaches with my migraine symptoms. One of them is vertigo. It can be triggered by change in pressure of the room such as the act of turning on an air conditioner, certain room heaters,...
Hi, I, too, suffer from vertigo as one of my migraine symptoms, but I don't actually get a headache. My neurologist said it is most likely a migraine because it slowly progresses where if it was due...
People call it a silent migraine meaning you do not get the headache with the migraine symptoms. I can consider myself one of the lucky few because I can somewhat function. I was 24 when it first...
Hi, This is something I experience too starting two years ago. Although I have had migraine headaches on a regular basis since I was four. I am one of the lucky 5% that does not get a migraine...
You could have experienced an aura with your migraine. My migraine auras include some of yours, but they last for an hour to a few weeks plus I rarely get a migraine with them. If you are really...
I can definately feel for your son. I've had migraines since I was four. I did not get better until I saw a good neurologist when I was fifteen. He told me about the food and enviromental triggers...
I've had migraine headeaches with nausea since I could remember at age 4. My triggers are mostly food, smells and possibly changes in barometric pressure. I rarely get a migraine with my auras. Right...
Thanks for responding. I've never heard of changes in barometric pressure being a trigger. I'll have to buy a reader and track that in my log book. It could be messing with my inner ear causing the...
Recently, I have been diagnosed with Basilar Type Migraines. I have suffered from migraine with nausea since the age of 4. At 18 I had my first visual aura and only had about dozen of them since...
I have them about once a month now. They are caused by triggers so I have learned to avoid them most of the time. It wasn't very easy. I went through truthfully a half dozen ignorant pediatricians,...
It took me a few years do to the following. Find a pain reliever that works for you-Tylenol, ibuprofen, Advil etc. Realize that migraines are caused by all sorts of triggers. You will have to learn...
I'm 24 and I can positively say I remember having them since I was 4 when I was in Head Start....
Thanks for your reply. I didn't know there were different types of vertigo! That shows how little I know. I feel like I was spinning in a chair and I can't sit or stand by myself without leaning...
Here is my background: I have had migraines as far back as I could remember. I managed to get control of it as a teenager by figuring out the triggers and avoiding them. Then I figured out the best...
If I have a carbonated drink without any food I will get a migraine. If with food, I'm safe. It's odd and I don't know why. Only exception is Mountain Dew. If I have a migraine caused by a lack of or...
