3) ... Migraines started after I took on a very
stressful manager role at my job. I get them about 3-4 times a month... My
symptoms used to be ... Did my Migraines change? Does this happen? Or am I
getting a different type of headache? ... Another question. I went to the doctor
and was told that my Migraine was triggered by my schedule... I worked 30 hours of overtime in an 8 day period... In reading some articles on this site I
read that stress does not cause a migraine... I was wondering if there is
anything else I can do besides medication for prevention. Thanks, Melissa.

4) ... Four years ago, I started getting migraines 3-a-day. All
the tests were done. Local doctors were no help. I went to The Cleveland
Clinic. They said I had a railroad effect and cleared it up quickly. In 2003,
the headaches returned slowly at first, and now they are 3 to 5 migraines a
week. Largely they are hormonal... They have tried all meds and put me only on a treatment regime. They
say I may have to wait until after menopause for this to go away, and it may not
even go away then. Did you ever hear of this? Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
Therese.

6) ...
I have recently been diagnosed as having a "Type of Migraine" because I do not
experience an aura, no sensitivity to light, or vomiting. I was given a
prescription for Relpax which is a godsend... My family doctor now wants to me to take Zoloft for prevention
because the headaches normally occur the week before my cycle and the week of my
cycle. Is this a normal medication given to aid in prevention of migraines? I am
worried about taking Zoloft... Jennifer.

thyroid, or other blood issue be causing the burning?... Daye.

10) In May of 1998, I had 3
cervical vertebrae fused, Ever since I have suffered from severe migraines, so
bad that I am now permanently disabled. I have tried 3 series of prophylactic
meds... These meds didn't help, and
reading the information supplied with them scared the heck out of me. My
questions are: 1. Are migraines a common result of fusion surgery... 2. Are there migraines that just cant be helped by
preventive meds...
