1) I am a thirty year old woman
who has been suffering from head pain since Dec 8, 2005. I had chronic pain in
my head and even experienced face paralysis on the left side. I couldn't even
blink my eye. The pain, on a scale of 1-10, was a level 9. I could barely walk
straight, vomited, and vision was extremely blurred. I was hospitalized and
check for stroke, bell's palsey, multiple sclerosis... Thank you, Krista.

2) I have a problem in regard to
medical procedures that require no eating or drinking before, and the resulting
low blood sugar and lack of caffeine from morning coffee that often ends up
triggering a migraine for me. I have an impending procedure later this month... Benita.

3) I just started a new job that
requires me to wear safety glasses. Within a few minutes I develop a severe
migraine. I have tried all of the different types of goggles but nothing seems
to help, and they are necessary for my job. Afterwards the bridge of my nose is
kind of numb for most of the rest of the day. Can you offer any advise? Andrea.

4) I suffer from sudden,
debilitating headaches. I have not had one that lasted more than 30 seconds. It
is as if I have been struck in the side of the head with a club. Then as
suddenly as it appeared, it is gone. If it is a bad one (lasting the full 30
seconds) then the side of my head will feel sore for a few hours. They sometimes
wake me from sleep, which is pretty scary... Julie.

5) I have had facial pain and pain
on one side of my head for about a year. My facial pain is like an abscess
tooth, but I have dentures so do not have any teeth to ache but it sure feels
like it. The pain then goes across my cheekbone behind my eye into my head. This
pain comes and goes, I have been on several different medicines and nothing
seems to help... Robert.

6) My neurologist prescribed
gravergol for my migraines because tryptans don't work well on me. This is an
older medicine and I cannot find information about it from Google. What do you
know about it and why isn't it popular on the web. Thanks, Louise

7) My question relates to my 20
year old son who is type 1 diabetic and suffers from migraine. He has had two
major migraine attacks (one year apart) that the neurologist described as a
delusional migraine. Both episodes occurred after he awoke from a nights sleep.
He acts very much like when his sugar is extremely low, confused, not able to
answer questions or even able to help himself at all... Tracy.

8) My migraines are increasing in
occurrence and I'm very light/computer screen sensitive. I'm looking for
suggestions on what sunglasses are the best. I have light skin/eyes, but have
never worn sunglasses because of the reflections/glare that bother me also. I've
heard of melanin glasses online, but can't find anyone familiar. Are adjustable
lenses best, or solid color? Thanks, M.

9) I am a 43 yr. old woman who was
recently diagnosed with migraines. I have suffered with them for many years, but
thought they were sinus problems. I am currently taking 25mg of Topamax, once a
day, and when I have a migraine, I take Maxalt. My question is, after I have had
a bad migraine, one that lasts a day or two, I have a tingling sensation on one
side of my face as if I had been burned... Thank you, Charlotte.

10) When I was 17 years old
my doctor diagnosed me as having migraines. I hate taking any kind of
medication, and I've tried every type of remedy (icepacks, changing eating
habits, etc.) but only to find that they don't work for me... I've never had a
CT scan (or know what it is). Do you think that is something I should look into
doing? Sa'Lena
