1) I have always had headaches
since I was a child, but for the last 5-6 years they have been daily. Most days
the pain is just a dull ache, but some days it can be very intense and this can
last for a week or longer... I also had a CAT scan which showed a 1cm exostosis
on the inside left of my skull... Karin

2) I started seeing a pain
management doctor in Fort Worth, Texas, by the name of Dr. X... I receive
injections in my head on the side that my migraines are once a month... After my first appointment with him, he gave me a prescriptions
for OxyContin 15mg #180 and with the directions to take 1-2 q 4 to 6 hours. At
my last appointment... Dr. X. fell asleep in the chair that was sitting
behind me... This doctor is beginning to
worry me about his treatment. Should I have cause for alarm? Thank you, Sheryl.

3) I am a 37 year old female, who
has had a headache going on 5 weeks now. It never goes away, however the
intensity varies anywhere from a 3-9... One doctor said it was a tension headache, another said I
was "stuck in a migraine". I do not normally get headaches, let alone migraines... I am thinking I might want to be tested for spinal meningitis... Deannie

4) I am a 28 year old female with
frequent, often debilitating, migraines. These are accompanied by an audible
aura -- generally a high-pitched squeal or a rapidly rising tone, rather like a
chime. At times the aura is painfully loud. My physician prescribed Fioricet at
first, but as I was experiencing so many, he switched to Imitrex. I recently
heard that one should NOT take triptans if she experiences neurological auras .
. . is this true? Why would this be and what will happen if I do take them?
Thank you, Dori.

6) Hello, my question is about my
15 yr old daughter, one time a month not necessarily before or after her period.
She gets these very painful headaches on one side of her head behind her ear.
She says its like needles sometimes and she loses her sight these only last for
about 10 to 30 minutes then it passes, sometimes it she is left with pain in her
neck even the day after... Patches,
mom.

7) My husband has suffered with
chronic migraines for the past three and a half years. He is currently on
disability. He has been seen by leading migraine doctors. Lately he has been
getting these sensations that he describes as "shocks". He said it feels like
there is a lightning bolt in his head and every so often he will get an
electrical shock that goes through his head and sometimes through his body... Thanks, Joni.

8) I seem to have a unique
problem. I do not suffer from headaches or migraines, but visual disturbances
that have been diagnosed as "ocular migraines". My ophthalmologist calls the
episodes I have been experiencing, "photopsia". However, I can trigger it
at will. If I go from a brightly lit environment to very dark, I will see
flashing lights like a strobe light... Thank you, Stephanie

9) I had a CT scan 12 years ago
and they found "Communicating Hydrocephalus". They did an MRI but I never heard
anything from it. I do know that I did NOT have any complaints of discomfort, so
I don't think my neurologist did anything. Recently, I've been getting
headaches, preceded by blurred vision or flashes of light... I saw a doctor and she gave me Lortab 5mg, every 6
hours, as needed for HA (which doesn't really work, the pain is still there) and
I'm due for a CT scan in 3 weeks... aline

10) I have been diagnosed with
migraines about two years ago. I am 28 years old. I usually get them while I am
sleeping and don't seem to be awakened by them until they are full blown... Do you have any ideas or suggestions on
why I get migraines while I sleep? Barb
