1) I am a 16 year old boy, who
does lots of sport and eats well. The other day I suffered from what I thought
was a headache but now turns out to have been a migraine... do people
ever get one off migraines or once you have one, does that always mean more
are on the way? thanks, Don

2) For two years I have been
having headaches which appear to be primarily the result of bright lighting
conditions, particularly driving in bright sunlight... (1) Can this be
migraine? (2) I am told that there are vitamins that will tend to improve this
condition... Bart.

3) I have recently started
getting sharp shooting pains in the back of my head running from low down into
the centre of my head... Are these anything to worry about? I
don't want to take painkillers, but I am a little concerned that they may be
indicative of something more serious. Many thanks, Alison.

4) I was wondering if others
with migraine headaches suffer from long periods of depression after having a
migraine... I have not been out of my home in a
week... I have never
had this severe case of depression fallowing a migraine... Denise.

5) I am 31 and I have had
migraines since I was 3.... I find relief
in aborting migraines by using Imitrex. However, I often experience muscle
soreness after using Imitrex. Recently my neurologist put me on a
prophylactic, Pamelor. I am also on Zoloft for anxiety and irritability. My
question has two parts: Do you know why my muscles feel sore... after taking any amount of Imitrex?... is it
dangerous to be taking Pamelor, Zoloft, and Imitrex together?
Thank you, K-Lea.

6) My neurologist recently
diagnosed me with migraines that start with D. I have had the migraine since
June 27 and it has caused memory loss so I can't remember what it's called.
Could you please tell me what it is, how to prevent it, and what may have
caused it? Thank You, Roberta.

7) Is it possible for someone, (my
teenage daughter) to have debilitating head at the same time every day? Namely
early morning. It has affected her schooling greatly and of course has put a
real strain on everyone's relationship in our family...

8) It all started about 3 weeks
ago when I left work because of pain in my eyes like someone pressing in on
them. I went to the ER and was told to see an eye doctor. I went to the eye
doctor and had them checked and he said there was nothing wrong with my eyes
and it was probably my sinuses... I have had
this pain constantly for 5 days now... Could a headache last this
long...

9) I have had migraine headaches
since 1964. I'm now 55 years old... There is only one thing that relieves my migraines (I'm up
to two, sometimes three a day). That is a combination of a 100mg Imitrex
tablet along with a Midrin or a Fiorinal with codeine... I saw an article on
MSN or one of those web sites a year or two ago that had to do with two Italian
doctors (I think they were genetic specialists) who said they had the key to
actually curing migraines...

10) First of all, I am currently
taking daily Verapamil, birth control pill (Lessina) - (many of my migraines
seem to be hormone related) and Nortriptyline. The combination of meds I am on
finally seems to have brought my migraines under control, but I believe my
short-term memory over the past 2 years (particularly when I get a migraine
and/or take the Maxalt) is severely compromised -- to the point where it is
affecting my work and other areas of my life. I have not found any
side-effects suggesting Maxalt is the culprit. Is short-term memory loss
common with migraines, or is this a function of my age!... Leanne.
