Question: I have chronic migraines and the cause is unknown, what do i do!?
Yes, my girlfriend suffers from chrnoic migraines which come about just about every day!. Problem is when she got a analysis, they couldn't find anything wrong w/ her!. No tumors, etc!.!. But she gets the headaches nevertheless!. I wanted to know if there was any way to calm/remove the migraines, or just look more into what the cause could really be!. Any useful information would be very much appreciated as soon as possible!. Thank you for your time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
so obviously they have done the CT and MRI scans!. did they check her spinal alignment, that can cuase it, or it could be what they hought i had!. its caled cluster headaches, and they cant really test fr it except by putting you on meds and seeing if they help!.
mine turned out i needed glasses, but they wee migranes i was geting, so maybe get her eyes checked!.
um!.!. obviously you are seeing a doc!.
give them a undown of her general diet, stress levels, previous family medical contitions, and all that usual stuff, ask about clusters, have the spine checked!.
thats the best advice i can give!.
as for traeting them, cool water to drink, quiet dark room, and try nurofen migrane!. doesnt do much, but takes the edge off a little bit!.
some people can use those stripps you put over your head, but the last thing you want to do with a migrane is to muck around with cutting the damn things, so best for quiet, water and sleep!.
oh and also make sure your GF drinks enough during the day!. you can get shockers from dehydration, and they get serious
hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I get migraines and chronic headaches!. They gave me a MRI - could not find anything wrong!. Blood tests yada yada yada!. I got lasik surgery on my eyes because I thought it would help, which it didn't!.
The cause of chronic headaches and migraines is really hard to pinpoint, unless you have a brain tumor!. I was on medication that helped me curb my headaches -- inderal - it is a type of blood pressure medication!. (My doc toook me off and put me on another medication when my blood pressure began to rise w/Inderal!.!. since then my headaches have come back full swing!.!.going back to the doc this wk, but anyway)
There are some presciption medications she can use to keep from having migraines!. I tried a few and had horrible side effects with them -- (I tried Topamax and Depakote)!.!. and Inderal -- otherwise, there are abortive migraine medications available that really work!.
Abortive prescription migraine medications, like Zomig, Imitrex, Relpax, Amerge, !.!. are all great and non-narcotic, but they are very expensive, especially if you don't have insurance!.
Otherwise, I recommend taking Excedrin migraine or Aleve!.!. plus, that medication called "head on" - it's a topical, over the counter medication that you just rub on your head and after a few minutes, it cools off your head and you forget that you have a headache (Sort of)!.
Migraines can be brought on by allergies!.!.!. plus, food allergies (and you might not even know you are allergic to a food but the by-product is migraines/headaches), poor eyesight, depression, high blood pressure, irregular thyroid, brain tumor, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
