Question 1

i am a migraine patient an under regular medications.i am very stressful right now and this has triggered the migraine. what shall i do now?

Accepted Answer

Relax: As you rightly noted, your stress seems to be exacerbating your migraine headaches. Try engaging in activities that reduce stress. Practice deep breathing, meditation , et.C and seek help in addressing the stress in your life right now if you can't do it yourself. Good luck.

Question 2

my mom is a migraine patient. what are her options?

Accepted Answer

Migraine treatment: Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management (e.g. acupuncture), and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. See an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and professional management.

Question 3

is there a link between migraines and ms i have had migraines since age 10 and was recently told i have ms, i have noticed a large number of ms patients seem to also have or have had migraine histories.

Accepted Answer

That : That is a very good question. It turns out that at least in females with ms, a higher percentage do have migraine. A study of a large number of women, those with migraine were more likely to develop ms than women without migraine.
Check out www.Msrc.Co.Uk/index.Cfm/fuseaction/show/pageid/2458. This is a description of the study as reported on the ms resource center of the uk.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Orthopedic specialis: Make an appointment with an orthopedic specialist or at a clinic specializing in back and spine problems. If you're back pain is still excruciating, go to the hospital emergency room where prompt examination and treatment are available.

Question 5

well established vestibular migraine/cdh patient on nortriptyline 30mg, struggling. would it make sense to keep titrating up, or swap out to ami. now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You might discuss with your doctor trying a higher dose. If by "ami" you mean amitriptyline, there is probably no benefit to switching.

Question 6

for a non-diabetic patient whose normal fasting glucose is 90mg/dl, how much spike in fasting glucose is normal during an acute vertiginous migraine attack? is a 60mg/dl elevation to a fasting glucose level of 150mg/dl normal and acceptable?

Accepted Answer

: During an acute vertiginous migraine attack, a spike in fasting glucose levels is not typically observed. In fact, a study conducted by the American Diabetes Association found that there was no significant difference in fasting glucose levels between migraine sufferers and non-migraine sufferers. Therefore, a 60mg/dl elevation to a fasting glucose level of 150mg/dl is not considered acceptable.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: The headache is probably a migraine, but please see a physician urgently for moderate to severe pain, facial dropping and numbness. A head CT may be indicated. Other causes should be considered. If you experience any dizziness, also see the Emergency department. Drink fluids, rest and please follow up with your Physician.

Accepted Answer

FL-41 tinted glasses: These are special tinted glasses available online from the companies who make them. I suggest you ask when you make your appointment. In the US major eye centers are the main places listed online, such as at a medical school.
