1) My pain specialist believes I
have hemicrania continua -- a daily, unilateral headache with fluids around my
eye membranes. I started on a regimen of indomethacin and felt better, but,
unfortunately, this medication caused my liver function to be ten times out of
the range of normal. Is there any viable alternative to indomethacin? Barb

2) ...just returned from a 2 week
trip throughout Germany where I was drinking coffee every morning. At home I
drink coffee maybe half as much. I've now returned for 4 days and have had one
cup of coffee since being back could that cause the migraines I seem to be
getting every other day now being home. I take Excedrin Migraine but, how much

3) I've suffered from daily
tension headaches for at least 12 years. In my right eye, I broke a blood vessel
about 5 years ago. I just recently broke a batch more in the same eye on the
other side of the iris. I am now on Topamax and Zoloft. Do you have any answers
for me concerning whether my eyes will ever heal themselves?... Sincerely,
Painful Peepers.

eye pressures and we needed to follow them on a regular basis... Thanks! Hope.

6) I am 50 years old, 6' tall and
weight about 220lbs. Playing basketball last evening I felt a snapping in my
head like a rubber band snapping (this is not the first time this has happened

7) How do you advise your
postmenopausal migraine patients who seem to feel their estradiol patch is one
of their migraine triggers? ... Whom should I see to regulate my hormones to
hopefully reduce my migraines? Neither my gynecologist nor my neurologist seems
to have expertise in this area and I can't find anyone who does. Any ideas?
Thanks! Hope.

8) Do you have any information of
a connection between heart murmur caused by the tissue flaps in the heart's
upper chamber, called a PFO tunnel, not closing properly after birth, and
migraines. Occasionally blood can be recirculated before it is cleansed by the
lungs. Operations for other reasons to correct the problem have resulted in
migraine cure.

9) I am a Type I diabetic with no
particular complications of that disease. However in the past 6 weeks I've
developed a constant pain (feels like pressure that hurts upon moving the area)
in the back left side (occipital) area and left side of the neck. It is always
worse as the day progresses and relieved when I am prone... My question is does
the location give a clue as to whether it may be caused by... Molly
