2) I have a lot of headaches
behind my right eye and right temple. I always thought they were sinus headaches
since I can put pressure on the inside corner of my eye and it seems to help at
the moment, but it doesn't go away. My family doctor sent me to an ear, nose &
throat doctor. He took a CT scan but didn't see any sinus problems, so he sent
me to a neurologist. He put me on Frova to take when a headache started to come
on, and it stopped... Thank you, Becky.

3) I am a 49 yr. old woman & have
had migraines since my early 20’s. They were almost always a result of my
menstrual cycle. At 45, I had a total hysterectomy and thought that would be the
end of my migraines, but I was wrong. They still continue and are probably just
as frequent, if not more so now than ever before... Sandy.

4) I've had migraines for over 20
years. I went to one of the best-known clinics for 8 years. I currently see a
neurologist at another headache clinic. He told me, after trying several
medicines, that he was "stumped". He says I've been on everything he can think
of... They tell me they are intractable. Isn't there any hope at all for someone
like me? Patty

5) I'm suffering from severe
headache very often. I usually get headache whenever I take head bath or if I
get drenched in rain or if water is poured on my head. The headache usually is
at the rear side of the head. I also have gas trouble and other stomach problems
very often. Srinivasan.

6) ...my daughter. She has had
migraines since she was 9. She is now 21 & has recently went to a Neurologist.
She had a Cat Scan & we are waiting for the results. Her Doctor put her on
Topamax. I wasn't too concerned until my sister freaked out when she found out
that the Doctor prescribed this as a first line of defense... As a parent, I am
very concerned for my daughter's safety. Should I be freaked out as well with
this Topamax? Thanks for your help. Donna

7) I started peri-menopause rather
early (at 38). Prior to that, I had experienced several severe headaches which I
did not classify as migraines. But shortly after menopausal symptoms hit, I
began to experience migraines with increasing severity. .. My primary doctor put
me on Inderal and Topamax when the headaches would not cease...
neurologist was patronizing, told me my scans were perfect and that he couldn't
help me, "It's just hormonal," ... What is the current word on hormonally
induced headaches? ... Debra

8) About 3 years ago, at the age
of 44, I was diagnosed as having silent migraines. It started with double
vision; when I was driving I was seeing two roads, one on top of the other. I
also was very tired and my neck hurt. To get my eyes focusing properly I would
have to close one of them. Lately I have been having these migraines every day,
all day, for about 3 to 4 weeks. I go to bed tired and wake up tired. I had an
MRI 2 1/2 years ago, which showed a shadow on my brain... Do you think I should
have another MRI, just to calm my fears? ... Sincerely, Maria.

9) Can you tell me why Doctors do
not want to use Demerol to get rid of migraines? I used to go to Urgent Care for
a shot when it is really bad. My Doctor had instructions on file. Now I give
myself shots at home, Dilaudid. This works, but not as good as Demerol. Nancy.

10) I have been suffering from
headaches for as long as I can remember (around six years old if not younger).
It's not like they come or go; they never go away. I have them 24/7... I am also
too young to be put on other drugs for I am only fourteen. Pain killers such as
Advil, don't work at all... Is there anything that can help?... Rosie.
