1) I have been getting mild
headaches with severe dizziness when a storm front is about to arrive. The
dizziness increases with head or eye movement and can induce vomiting... These
headaches are new since I started menopause and appear to be increasing
(although the stormy weather has also been on the increase)...

2) I have been a chronic migraine
sufferer for 8 years now. Not everyday includes a migraine, but everyday does
include a headache. Recently my migraines have severely intensified, and I am
not receiving the same effect from my pain medication as I used to... I was just
wondering if there are any new pain meds out there that might be effective, even
to just give the Fiorinal a break for a while... Amber.

At present the daily medications taken to prevent migraine are: Verapamil/240mg:
Valproic Acid/250mg: Metoprolol/50mg: Amitriptyline/50mg.... My problem is the
side effects of the preventative medications. Extremely severe constipation:

4) My daughter is 16 and has had
severe migraines since the age of six. She gets as many as 5 a week. Her school
work is compromised and she's now backed into a corner because she's a junior.
We have tried so many medications that I can't list them all. Her eating habits
are terrible. She vomits for 24 hours straight during some of her attacks. I
have no doubt that one of the main causes of her migraines is her diet. I seem
to always be chasing her around with pills and food. She refuses to eat
breakfast and my husband thinks he is helping by letting her stop at the
convenience store for a caffeine drink, a pack of gum and possibly, on a good
day, a muffin, energy bar or a pack of donuts. I feel that I'm howling at the
moon... Daryl.

5) I am a 28-year-old female, for
the past month I've been suffering from severe headache... I was diagnosed with
migraine about 10yrs ago. But all these years it has not been so severe. A
recent appointment with a neurologist he said that it was a tension headache -
which if not treated properly could lead to depression... Mrs. Ramesh.

6) I have been getting headaches
ever since my son was born 5 and a half years ago. They are entirely too
frequent and come like twice a week in a migraine style. Sometimes it is still
difficult for me to place differences between a simple headache that is curable
with Motrin. or if it is going to be a migraine... Any advice on the differences
of headaches? Thank you Danielle.

8) My mate of 4 years suffers from
intense headaches at least 3 to 4 times a week. 99% of the time he has to lay
down in a dark room with no noise and sleep them off. Sometimes they last for
hours, he complains of intense pain and wants me to squeeze his head to stop or
relieve the pain... In the last 4 or 5 months a new thing has been happening,
when we engage in sex, at the point of orgasm or seconds after, he has an
explosive headache that lasts for hours... What causes this and how can the
headache be prevented or avoided?...

10) I'm a 43 year-old-woman who
had never experienced much in the way of a headache, much less a migraine until
2 months ago. I wound up in the ER with this headache and vomiting.,. A brain
MRI did turn up one interesting little thing. A Chiari 1 malformation... Any
suggestions on where to turn? Or do people sometimes just suddenly develop a
chronic migraine overnight? I have barely been able to function for 2 months, I
can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life. Thanks! Cammie.
