3) I have a question concerning
triptans. Is it possible to get rebound headaches from using these. If so, at
what point (e.g. taking them how often per week) would that occur. Also, over
time would the effectiveness of the triptans diminish?

7) I have been a migraine-sufferer
since 1994. I have tried Imitrex and Maxalt + other migraine meds and have had
mild to scary reactions with each (Imitrex was the scary one.) Is there any new
or homeopathic remedies I could try at the onset of a migraine? Thanks,
Christian.

8) For the last 8 years, I have
been experiencing what I have recently come to believe is a migraine aura
without headache... These symptoms encouraged the doctor visit. He referred me
to a neurologist... the neurologist was very surprised that I would be
experiencing migraine without headache. She said typically it occurs in
post-menopausal women and that she had never seen it in someone my age. She went
on to order an MRI, and MRA, and an EEG... Melanie.

9) My sister recently had chest
pain, left arm pain & numbness and her legs were numb. She had diarrhea,
vomiting and nausea. The first EKG was off the wall. All other ok. Stress test
she passed. Waiting on other test results. They are leaning towards these
symptoms being related to Migraines. She has had headaches for over 30 years.
Takes several meds to help control. Have you heard of this? Where could I find
info on this? Thanks, Shar.
