How to live with Chronic Migraine Headaches? Suffered a trama in 1992 & now on disability due to Migraine Headaches. This trama was physical & very emotional. I was 45 years old & to start Migrains at this age is unusual. Didn't talk for six months after this trama & when I did start talking the headaches came on fast & fourious. I'm allergy pron. Extreamly sencitive to ALL sences; light, sound, smells, touch, taste. Always seek low light, quiet, clean, few people in motion. I do consentrate intently & this helps get me though pain as does physical activity. Tulane has been GREAT for me with Dr. Debra G. Elliott. However, Katrina sent her north to LSU in Shreveport. She knows her stuff with me. Yet, I still seek knowledge on this painful topic that has changed my life.

Migraine headaches/ Is this a migraine, Can they start without a person having any prior history of them? What I mean to ask is this likely a migraine? I have never had a headach EVER (other than just mild sinus ones when I was sick a few times years ago). Then about a week and a half ago I got one and it never completely went away, some days are worse than others. It started out with a dull, ache which seemed to be behind both eyes or around both eyes, and a feeling of nausea that seems syncopated with the eye pain. When I get a surge of eye pain, the qweezy feeling gets worse at the same time. eventually I got pain on the very top of my head and the Back of my head too. I almost vomited the first day it started, I got a really dry mouth and Hot flashes. That ended after about a day and now my head just hurts in different places at different times of the day. Anyway, my longwinded question can be boiled down to this. Does a person who never had migraines in the past, just all of a sudden get a migraine like that and have it last so long without any prior history ? I forgot to mention, within an hour of the headache originally starting, I did two things that I can recall that may have had something to do with it. First bent down and attempted to push my bed mattress really hard to move it sideways ( I was moving my bed) then the second which was within a hour of the pain starting, was I just Shaved. When I shave I bend my neck upward for awhile while so i can see my neck as I shave. I didnt notice any pain during any of these acts, but those were the only two activities that I can remember having done shortly before the pain started.

She takes several different kinds of medication for it as prescribed by her doctor.

Has anyone tried a "upper cervical "specific" chiropractor to treat migraine headaches? I have been suffering from migraine headaches for 17 years. I go to a regular chiropractor at least once a week and it works to relieve the pain once I already have a headache but it does not prevent me from getting a migraine. Now after years of going to the chiropractor the headaches and the neck pain seem to be coming more often. I have been reading about upper cervical specific chiropractors, it seems like this may be my answer but it is very expensive and my insurance does not cover the cost. Has anyone out there gone to one of these chiropractors for their migraine headaches? Or if you have any other advice on how I can get ride of these migrains let me know. I am not interested in taking perscriptions though, I have done it before and it works to releive the pain but I feel that it only masks the problem.
