Migraines and cea

[Guest guest]

I started having Migraine headaches around the same time that my

rosacea started, and they are getting worse. I am wondering if anyone

else has migraines and if so what helps to control the migraines? I

have just been referred to a neurologist to see if I can find out the

cause of these migraines. Has anyone in the group seen a neurologist,

and has it helped. I am really nervous about seeing a neurologist as

I don't like going to the doctor and really don't want to be put

through tests that aren't necessary. I don't even know what is

involved in a neurology exam, but it sounds a bit scary to me.

Hi , I have seen a neurologist and have had migraines. The exam is easy,

they look into your eyes and check your reflexes. Like does your knee jump

when they hit it with a little hammer. It is possible they could order an

MRI, but not likely. I had one to check for something else and it was not a

problem.

Medical doctors often treat migraines with an anit-depressant, an SSRI. or

they may give you a med to take when you feel a headache coming on. There

are more natural things to do, including biofeedback training, the herb

Feverfew, and watching for food and stress triggers. I have switched to the

over the counter anti depressant SAMe with very good results, no side effects

and good migraine control.

Migraines often run in families. My grandmother, dad and now my grandaughter

all had/have migraines. Good luck with your appointment.Kate
