2) I have been having persistent
headaches for about five years, and in those years I have gone to various
professionals for diagnosis, but they don't seem to find the cause of the
headaches. First I went to an ENT surgeon and they did x-ray of my sinuses and
they found they were infected. They treated them, but still the headaches
persisted. Also a CT scan was done on my brain and nothing was found to warrant
a serious headache according to my physician. Please can you help me doctor?

4) My life before trigeminal
neuralgia in 1993 was great, but the pain from this terrible neuralgia was truly
unbearable... Micro vascular decompression surgery
on the trigeminal nerve gave almost complete relief, but left me with an
extremely sensitive nerve and an occasional headache... entered
perimenopause and started having hot flashes, my bad migraines started. Is there
an expert out there whose specialty is this sensitive nerve?

6) ...I was diagnosed with
migraines 4 or 5 years ago. I've taken Imitrex, Zomig, the tablets that dissolve
on your tongue, and the shots. Nothing is working. The only thing that really
gets rid of the headaches is hydrocodone which I haven't used in a long time
because my doctor was concerned with it's addictive qualities, even though I've
never had a problem with it. What concerns me is I also have been experiencing
short term memory loss. I went through testing with a neuropsychiatrist and my
memory loss was severe... Right now my main concern are my headaches. I either
wake up with them or onset starts within 30 min. of waking. They last all day...
What can I do? ... Rosalie.

7) I am a 56-year-old female with
a history of migraines... The only way to describe the "spells" is: I start
becoming very dizzy with extreme motion sickness, dry heaves or vomiting and
need to lay down immediately. Sometimes not able to get to bed or couch and have
laid down on the floor. I have lost my balance on several occasions and have
fallen once or twice. After these spells I end up with a migraine... Where can I
locate more information regarding my symptoms? Is this a common form of
migraines? Is there any preventative medication? Medication when the migraine
starts? etc.?

10) I recently went to the doctor
and was told that perhaps I was having migraines but I told him that my head
hardly "ached" or was in pain. I do get visual distortions such as tunnel vision
and 3D distortions approximately 2-3 times a week... I was not aware that
migraines manifested with visual distortions and no pain in the head. Does this
type of migraine have a specific name if it's even a migraine?...
