1) My wife has suffered with
severe migraines every day for the last year and before that every month for
most of her adult life. She is now on 50 milligrams of oxycodone, 125 milligrams
Topamax,... This is every day. An anesthesiologist in her doctors office wants to
give her a shot in the back spinal area to relieve the pain and swelling in the
muscles which he says will help the migraines at least 70%... Signed Pain in

2) I was diagnosed in Dec 2005
with having complicated migraines. I am still having symptoms, numbness and
tingling in entire left side of my body (face/neck/back/legs etc, impaired
vision) even with treatment. Is this a common complaint for those with this
diagnosis? I am concerned due to family history of stroke, etc. Thank you,
Donna.

3) I want to know if there is a
strong relationship between stomach/diet and migraines. I have been having
neurological symptoms for some time now, and it often seems to be related to
stomach problems. I often wake feeling shaky and a little headachy, with a
"buzz" like feeling in my head and body. I also feel very woozy and dizzy...
Thanks, Carly.

4) ...I have had these terrible
beasts since I was 19. Did everything imaginable to rid them. I am 52 and at
this time, I am taking Nadolol 40mg, twice a day. I don't have the headaches as
often as I used to. I have the aura, with the zigzag lines and then pain is
behind one or both of my eyes. My Dr. gave me a paper with some triggers, aged
cheese, chocolate, peanuts, etc... Is there any kind of chocolate that a
Migrainuer can eat that is not a cocoa base? Do bananas give headaches?...

5) I have a question concerning
the Triptan group of drugs used for migraine treatment. Does anyone know what
causes one or more of these drugs to become ineffective over time?...

6) I was recently diagnosed as
having a stroke then revised to having a complex migraine... I was out in the
heat the day... I became confused, couldn't remember the president or the year
or the best way to get back to the truck even though I new right where it was
at... When I got out of the hospital I got another migraine exactly one month to
the day and my period never came when I discontinued my Zovia (birth control)...
Does the heat have any bearing on any of this?... I and still have some left
sided weakness, I can't spell and do math as well.. Sheri

7) I was wondering if you ever
recommend a certain make or brand of lens of sun glasses that are dark enough to
aid in keeping the brightness of the light especially the sun to a minimum. I
have purchased numerous sun glasses to no avail so am hoping that you may have
some suggestions... Thank you, Marlene

8) Hi I am a 35 year old female. I
suffered an episode 6 months ago which included disturbed vision (flashing and
roving lights on only the right field of vision in both eyes), and transient
numbness down the right side of my body... suspected of having a minor stroke.
The vision problems abated, as did the numbness, but the weakness down my right
side was not resolved... suspected diagnosis is chronic daily headaches... Can
you tell me if it is normal to have language problems with headaches /
migraines? Additionally, the transient numbness – how is this related to
headaches, and can I expect it to be long-lasting... Tracie.

9) I suffer headaches caused by
the amount of concussions I have had. Lucky for me Advil keeps most of them
under control. For the times that it doesn't, I was wondering if heat or cold
packs can take the edge off of a migraine. I have tried to search for this
information and nobody seems to know which one, or if either even help at all...
Thanks, Jeff.
