Migraine Headaches Support Group

myself first. I was in tears with the pain of my

migraine this morning and decided to find a group

of people who have gone through this as well.

I have migraines that start and are continuous for

months. This has occurred every fall/winter/spring

for the last few years. For some reason, my migraines

are much better from April/May through Oct/Nov.

Welcome! I wonder if your migraines are related to allergies or something like that? Maybe to molds or something. Have you been tested for allergies? It's definitely a possibility when you have "seasonal" migraines. It's very interesting. It was hard to find a reason for my allergies--no, wait, we still haven't found a reason! LOL

But if you can find triggers, that will help so you can avoid them as much as possible...

I hope we can be of help, certainly take a look around and see what you can find out!

Glad you found us!!!! Are you finding your self around ok? Let us know if you need to talk or anything! Have you went to your doctor about your migraines yet? Have you found anything for relief?

neurology practice. I had an MRI and got an all clear there.

I tried topamax but that was just awful - no help and it

scrambled my brains. beta blockers didn't help but nortripaline

did (spelling not right... there's a y in there somewhere).

But I hated the side affects - put up with it 'til late Mar and

stopped it. The headaches came back through Apr but became only

occasional/monthly in May. I've been like that 'til Dec/Jan.

Now I'm back to constant with the pain ramping up as time goes by.

My neurologist has insisted it can't be allergies. I did have

an allergy test as a child and mold was definitely one of the

items I was allergic too. I went thru shots and am much better on

allergies now. (I had bad asthma as a child. Now just hay-fever).

I wonder if its the amount of sun? Or allergies yes. I guess

I should post this to see how many think it could be allergies?

Thanks for the welcome. Doctors don't know everything. And

sometimes its just too much & people w/o the problem just can't

understand.

I'm sorry you are going through this, and I completely agree that those who haven't experienced it just have NO idea what we all go through. If you want to vent, as with Lisa, I'm here for ya!

we are all hear for you

My neurologist just put me on a course of steroids & migranol nasal spray. It is helping today but hasn't kicked the migraine away. I woke up in the middle of night with the pain and just couldn't sleep. That doesn't happen often.
