1) I was diagnosed and have
suffered with migraines since I was 20 years old. I am now 41 and they have
become extremely worse over the past few years... My physician ordered an MRI
and found lesions on my brain... do the lesions cause my migraines or did my
migraines cause the lesions? I am also wondering if there is any substantial
evidence that these lesions cause brain damage? Thank you, Cyndy

3) I have been training with
weights on a regular basis for about 3-4 years. I was doing squats at the end of
my leg routine with a moderate amount of weight to failure. When I racked the
weight my head began throbbing, so much that I had to sit down because the pain
was so intense...

4) I was diagnosed with migraines
when I was five years old and took Elavil and Inderal until high school. I am
now 32 (and female) and my headaches have changed. I have heard of "transitional
migraines" and wondered if there is such a thing... Thank you, J. Hughes

6) I have a 33 year history of
headache. Tension type rather than migraine.. Recently I had a total knee
replacement. While rehabbing the knee, I have been prescribed OxyContin 40mg 2
per day. One every 12 hrs. I feel no rush, no euphoria and NO HEADACHE... If my
headaches come back, why wouldn't a doctor keep me on whatever level is needed
to defeat the headache pain I am feeling?... BAC

8) Do you know if taking Protonix
could trigger migraine headaches? Also I noticed if I take Relpax right away and

Randy.

9) ..I am 35 and have been
diagnosed with chronic migraines since I was 16... I was sent home with Topamax
and another med that I can't remember... By three weeks on Topamax I could not
function very well... I demanded that I be taken off the Topamax... I worked my
way up to 1500mgs of magnesium with calcium a day. I was still having the
headaches daily but I was getting better. She then came to me with a study on CO
Q 10 and melatonin. I added these as well to my diet. My diet changed from my
collapse. I can not tolerate Chocolate ( loved this so much), caffeine,
alcohol... I do not want to be on heavy medication for the rest of my life. I
honestly believe that there has to be a nutritional reason for this.... Brandy

10) I have been suffering from
Migraines for 20 years. I have tried many medications that didn't work. A doctor
put me on Fiorinal with Codeine and for the first time this med worked. I have
been taking this for 10 yrs. My regular doctor is over in Iraq and every doctor
I see wants to take me off this. My doctor told me not to worry about taking it
because when your in such pain the medicine goes right to the pain. What can I
do? Marcia.
