1) I have suffered from almost
daily headaches and migraines. My symptoms are related to all types of
headaches, cluster, sinus, tension, migraines, and just good old fashioned
headaches. My Dr. has prescribed Maxalt and Zanaflex. I also must take daily
pain meds (Vicodin, Advil, and Ultram) due to severe arthritis, so rebound
headaches are probably an issue... Cyndi-lou.

2) My 14 year old daughter suffers
from Migraines, however when she gets a really bad migraine she will pass out. I
have not heard of this happening with any other people is this something that
does occur with migraines. She has been to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh and
had every test imaginable but all they came up with was a diagnosis of
"complicated migraines"... JoAnn

4) I often get a severe headache,
usually on 1 side of my head and it lasts for 3 days. Advil every 4 hours 600mg
seems to take the edge off but not relieve it. This last time it occurred right
before my period, but not on other times. Should I be concerned? ... Marla.

5) I have suffered with migraines
for many years and have not been able to tolerate most of the preventative

6) I begin to get migraine
headaches suddenly while working out. I begin to have two or three a week and
was put on a combination of Depakote, Maxalt, B12 and several over the counter
medicines. I stopped taking these after two years because they stopped being
effective and at the time the migraines had almost stopped... Lisa.

7) Is there any links between
migraines and a freezing cold nose? It's not just cold on the outside (skin),
it's cold radiating outward from inside my nose. It is like frostbite, almost. I
have been to 3 diff doctors, and none of them have ever heard of it. Thanks,
lynpx.

8) What hope can you give a near
60-year old who has had chronic, severe Migraine for 50 years?

aspirin to Methysergide, homoeopathy to acupuncture to osteopathy, feverfew to
lavender, B2 to B6, magnesium to calcium combined, sunglasses to hats,
amitriptyline to Digoxin and so on, and on, and on...

9) I am a 50-year old female who
has had migraines for many years, the worst being menstrual. A few months ago, I
got shingles on my face. Lately, it seems the menstrual migraines are more
painful and last longer. Imitrex does not always work for these headaches. My
doctor thinks the shingles may be making the pain worse, but doesn't seem to
know for sure...

10) For about 5-6 months now, I
have a chronic tension type headache. Its very hard to describe except that
every morning when I wake up, I feel a light feeling in my head before I even
stand up. This will build during the day into a more bothersome tension type
headache. It basically lasts all day...
