Alternative medicine: You may want to consider some alternative or complementary medicine approaches. Traditional triptan medicines pose a risk for elevated blood pressure and stroke. Migraines respond very well to biofeedback. You should check your area for a good biofeedback provider. Medical acupuncture is useful (check on www.Americanacademyof medicalacupuncture.Org). Cranial-sacral therapy and cranial estim .Usef.

Migraines: Are you seeing a neurologist who is a migraine specialist? If not, then do so. If you are already seeing one, consider getting a 2nd opinion.
