A member asked:

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.

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.

Yes, definitely: About 52% of ms patients suffer migraine headaches and there seems to be a general relationship, but, if there are lesions in the periaqueductal brainstem region, the headache incidence goes up four-fold. This is readily managed with appropriate migraine preventative measures, and your regular neurologist will manage this easily.
