What type of doctor would you be reffered to if you had migraines.  They would do a spinal tap and a catscan but I dont remember their exact title.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and unless you are a very bad case and they have tried everything on you, or they suspect a tumor I doubt if they would refer you for a catscan and they do not do spinal taps for migraines. The one cure for migraines that i always treat my patients with is Feverfew. You can get this at any health shop but remember herbal medicine takes time to work, it has to get into the system\n\nG Jones (BSYA)

Have you ever considered chiropractic?  My wife suffered a pretty severe neck injury in a car accident and feels that the treatment she received was nothing but good.\n\nIt's non-invasive and covered by most health insurance plans.  I have NEVER had anyone I've ever known who has gone to a chiropractor and had anything negative to say.

Headaches can have different causes, naming them is not the scope of this forum.  The role of a physician is to determine the cause of the headache.  If the headache's cause is an underlying disease (for example, high blood pressure, sinus infections, tumors, etc), then, that is what one treats.  If it is determined that is a migraine, then you treat it as a migraine.  Most of the time headaches have no organic cause and have no specific therapy other than pain medications.  Our role as MD's is to discover the cause of the headaches.  If there is none, then you treat the pain. It has nothing to do with being "stumped".  Your family member should be glad that the tests done are normal and she does not have an underlying dangerous illness.

Yes!  I've gone through all the DVDs, CDs and the manual.  When I was first learning it, I thought, "This has got to be the silliest thing I've ever looked into." I get migraines and I do EFT every time I feel one coming on.  It works very well!  I haven't had to take my migraine medicine for a few months now.  I try if for Everything.  I get pretty darn good results.\n\nFeel free to email me about this.

If you've never had a Migraine attack, you need to be checked out by your doctor to confirm.  The symptoms you are describing are likely Migraine symptoms but may be something else.  A qualified Headache Specialist will ask you specific questions to determine whether or not you had or have Migraines.  He/she may also run specific tests to help in diagnosis you.  Some of these tests could be an MRI, CAT scan, and/or EEG.\n\nMigraine is not just bad headache.  It is a genetic neurological disease.  There is no cure but there are ways to control and live with it.\n\nCheck out the source below.  It describes the 4 different phases of a Migraine; Prodrome, Aura, Headache and Postrdrome, and what you may possibly experience with each phase.  Not all Migraineur's go through all the phases with each Migraine so there it's likely that your Migraines may be different than someone else's.

Get a carbon monoxide detector.  I had a friend who was diagnosed with migraines when they later found out was carbon monoxide poisoning.

A Chiropractor does wonders,your neck it probably out and it will and can pinch a nerve,you need to go see one you will feel better,meds don't fix the pain because it will always come back.All they want is your money for making you feel like crap.

Hi. I can relate. I am a brain tumor survivor and I know how bad migraines can really be. Whats worked for me is the eucolyptus and spearmint all natural headache relief available at Bath and Body Works. Also, if available have someone massage your temples while you close your eyes and relax. Prescriptions don't work for some of us. Hope this helps. \n\nGood luck and best wishes,\n\nChris

Like everyone else, I would recommend going to a doctor first to make sure there isn't a serious (i.e. brain disease) underlying cause for your headaches. If the doctor can't find a specific cause, then you should consider seeing a chiropractor. Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic is more than just "neck and back pain." Chiropractic is founded in the belief that the Central Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls every bodily function. When the vertebrae are misaligned, they can pinch/damage/affect the nerves running out between them, causing pain or any type of malfunction in the corresponding body part. Chiropractic has tremendous success in treating chronic migraine headaches by removing the neural interference of the pinched nerve and letting the body take care of itself.\n\nFor a quick remedy, try putting ice on the back of your neck for 20 minutes (I know it sounds weird, but it's worth a try). No matter what you decide to do, good luck! Hope you feel better.

You can take a look at this new health drink. I use it, but not for migraines, but there is alot of people who have had their migraines actually cease by using it. I can give you the link and you can draw your own conclusions. I hope this will help you, it has for many others.

Follow up with a neurologist.  They specialize in this matter.

Stay away from stressful situations.  Don't watch TC in the dark or stay up too late.  Sleep is important.\n\nIt sounds like you may be getting migrains and you may need to seek mediacal attention.  What you should do in the mean time is STAY in the dark, with a cool face cloth.  \n\nEat a well balanced diet, eat things in moderation, and include exercise in your daily routine.\n\nI am a previous sufferer of headaches.  Good luck!

Did they do a myelogram?  Also, was the spinal tap done to rule out meningitis?  Normally, your symptoms should be subsiding by now.  If it continues, I would call you doctor.

To go and have too much fun is RIGHT up my alley! I like a little girlfriend action myself.. then Im having LOTS of fun! As far as your headache goes, take two excedrin for migraines and you'll feel better in 20 mins.
