1) ...there was burning
sensations and sharp pain that would suddenly come about on different areas of
my head. The first time I got one I seriously thought I was having a stroke... What would cause the brain's nerves to
misfire? I was in a car wreck in '79', and had a small blood clot that was
dissolved by medication and did have some swelling in the back of my head... Tina.

2) I have had a history of
migraine headaches for most of my life, maybe 2 or 3 times per year, lasting 3
to 4 days... for the past couple of days, I
have had the exact same migraine pain in my "leg". Is it possible to suffer
migraines in other parts of the body besides the head?... Don.

4) ...Sometimes I get migraines that just hurt
so much that I can't keep my eyes open. It started about 2 years ago. Whenever I
would have a busy day by 5pm I would have a headache that would turn into a
migraine by 7pm... I obviously understand that these migraines are not normal, and I
was wondering what could it be and what do I need to do? Thank you, Katie.

5) My husband has tried all of the
classes of drugs to find relief from migraines. He finally found Relpax. This
worked great, but he began having rebound headaches... headache specialist who prescribed Methergine. The
doctor said that Methergine was very similar to Relpax, but you could take it
every day without the danger of rebound headaches... she said that he would have to take a break from using
it after 6 months because it can cause vessels to harden. Can you explain this
to me?... Meg.

6) I was recently diagnosed with
occipital migraines.... He put me
on Depakote ER 500 mg once daily. I took one pill and it stopped my migraine but
it caused a bad side effect. I had to go to the ER because it caused a drug
induced akathesia, which is an involuntary movement disorder. The doctor there
told me to stop the medication that I could not take the medication at all and
to call my doctor immediately. I called and he only lowered the dose to 250 mg
per day. I don't know who to believe... Tami.

8) Is brief pain lasting only
seconds considered a headache? ... my 9yr old son just told me
that he gets a pain on one spot on his head that hurts and then heats up lasting
seconds. When he gets this pain he said he gets a funny tingly feeling on his
tongue... Should I be very concerned?

9) I have been treated for
migraines since childhood. My current med is Zomig, which is very effective. My
husband and I would like to start a family. I understand that Zomig, as well as
other drugs in its family, are considered Class C meds... how long does it take for the
body to purge this medication? Do you suggest waiting a few months after Zomig
has been taken to begin trying to conceive?... Angie B.

10) ...My question is this. Prior to getting any of these episodes of numbness etc, and
the reason why I went to the neurologist in the fist place, was that I was, and
continue to see sparks of light in my field of vision... The sparks vary
enormously and occur seemingly randomly, sometimes none in a day, but some times
20 in a day or more... Is this something that needs
further investigation? ... Becky.
