ive been having migraines for a while, some of my other family members have the same problem, doctor told me it can run in the family, one migrane was so bad i was passed out on the floor and when my mom came home she freaked out, called 911, my ambulance crew knew my address, they hurried up and called for medical assist from my fire dept, it looked like a parade of trucks on my street and like it was a 4 alarm fire, everyone in my area knows my address, and when they herd it come in everyone showed up, anyway, they took me to the ER, thought i might have had a seizure, had a big medical work up, only to find out that it was just a nasty migraine, i have imitrex now, and that stuff is amazing, but like paul said be careful with imitrex too.

see all my counsel above
since yes, migraines run in my family too BUT I seem to have stopped them - so it is not solely a genetic influence
SEE an ALLERGIST and an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor ASAP
... and do all the other stuff I said too... LOL

hang in there - they will get this figured out
even if they have to stick those Frankenstein Bolts in your head... or give you secret X-Men skills
(email me if you want to talk about specifics privately)

Chris reminded me this morning - GET A CHIROPRACTOR - they are awesome at straightening out the kinks in ones back and neck after working the way firefighters do - and sometimes it magically takes away migraines - and certainly takes away tension headaches and other related symptoms.

had em for years before my heart attack, thought it was stress and tried to let it go....i used to pop about 8 tylonol with no results then switched to advil with no effect. i used to see the white spots so bad that i had to leave the firehouse and get a guy to drive me home. i eventually went on some meds ending up on ZOMIG which was like a light switch on the pain after about an hour and a half. since i had my heart attack i dont get them anymore. i do suggest you talk to your doctor and tell him everything and be descriptive about the pain i used to rate it from 1-(ache) to 10 severe/cant function-white spots in the eyes, good luck
