1) I am 26-years-old and I have
had these headaches for my whole life. As a 22-month-old baby I had a febrile
seizure and that is when they found that there was something wrong with me... My
headaches usually happen when I am tired, congested, get upset, on the verge of
crying or when I enter from the warm in the cold temperature... I have 2 boys
and they are both getting them now...

2) Migraines for me are nothing
new. I was diagnosed at 19 (I'm in my mid 40s now), though I remember having
headaches even when I was much younger. For many years now (more than I can
count) my average number of migraines is from 3 to 5 every week... This Fall I
got a sinus infection... I have been with a migraine every day for the past 5
weeks... I've been told that hoping to go back to my "normal" 3-5 a week is not
normal at all and that I should see a neurologist...

3) I have had migraines since I
was nine-years-old, I am now 41. My migraines are triggered by a variety of
things.. My neurologist said that I had a spot on my brain that showed aging
which was caused by having so many migraines over the years... Is there a link
to having migraines on a regular basis to diseases such as dementia,
Alzheimer's, etc.? Darla.

4) My husband has been diagnosed
with ocular migraines. He has spotty or kaleidoscope vision, and sometimes a
headache under his left eye, sometimes not. However, he has had this migraine
every day between 1-3pm for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Are ocular migraines
clustered? What preventive steps can he take to avoid or lesson these attacks.
Thank you for your help. Best, Dana.

5) I've had a history of severe
headaches throughout my life; in 2000, I was diagnosed with migraine and given a
CAT scan, but nothing unusual showed up. I've never had pain that is
incapacitating or debilitating, but it has been intense.About two years ago, my
headaches took on a new form: a tingling sensation in my left temple that
eventually gets sharper and more painful over a period of a few weeks or months
until it eventually goes away... My doctor is concerned, of course, and can't
really classify this headache...

6) I have peculiar migraines. I
work at a school, and I've noticed that bright colored paper will trigger a
migraine. As soon as I notice a migraine coming on I take an Imitrex pill. Is
there something I can take everyday that would stop the migraines? I hate to
take more medicine that I need, but I am having more problems at school lately.
Sincerely, Penny.

about taking too much paracetamol and ibuprofen - are there any safe
alternatives?...

10) I'm a 53-year-old female and
have had migraines pretty much my whole life. I know that a visual aura can
sometimes accompany a migraine although I seldom have them. I was wondering if
smelling odors that aren't really there could also be related to migraines... I
was also wondering your opinion of Imitrex Nasal spray. I use it frequently and
worry that it will "rot" my sinuses. My doctor says not to worry. Glennice.
