1) I am a 45 y/o male who has been
suffering with headaches about 10 years. They started out mild to moderate and I
used OTC sinus meds and Tylenol. Over the years they worsened and I saw several
neurologists... I've been on opioids (which have caused rebound headaches)... Do
you feel that the rebound headaches will eventually lessen and that I can expect
some relief as long as I don't go back to the opioids?... Daniel.

2) Last summer, I noticed that
pretty near every day that I spent even a small amount of time in the sun, I
developed a headache. I didn't receive the same amount over the winter... Now
that the sunny weather has just started again, I have noticed that even if I
spend only less than an hour outside in the sun, I still develop that same
headache. Is there any link to the sun and constant headaches? Vicki

3) I am male, and a migraine
sufferer for the past 24years. I live in South Africa, and have not been able to
find a successful preventative measure to either prevent/reduce the
amount/severity of the migraines I get. I get migraine on average 6 to 8 times
per month. I have heard about the new way of treating migraines using
testosterone treatment... doctor, and he is willing to try the treatment, but
not knowing the details about this, he does not know the dosages recommended.
Can you assist by recommending method of treatment, as well as recommended
dosage? Kobus.

5) Daily headaches began for me in
my late teens, and continued until my headache Doctor diagnosed me at the age of
29 with Rebound headaches from the Excedrin that I had been taking for the pain.
I stopped 'cold turkey,' and after a painful period of adjustment, the headaches
diminished. My problem now is that ANY time I take an analgesic for aching
muscles from flu or pain of arthritis, even if I only take 2 Advil, for example,
I invariably suffer from a Rebound Headache... Kaye.

6) My daughter is 14 and just
started menstruating late last summer. She has complained of throbbing headaches
since she was a little girl. We do have migraine in our family... Her
neurologist says Migraine and prescribed Topamax and Axert. Since she doesn’t
have debilitating pain, I don’t see the point in the Axert since it is not a
long term preventative, do you? And the Topamax FDA warnings scare me... Please
give me pros and cons on whether or not I should medicate my daughter at this
age and stage... Thanks, rjf

taken if you are a woman, is this true? ... Theaudrey
