    Give doghead a hug



    • Sympathy

      From CxExB November 6

      I remember being diagnosed and thinking that meant I would get well. That was 3 years and a lot of pills ago! But, I did get help and I am better today than I was then. Keep searching for a great doctor and answers. Best wishes!!

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      2 1/2 years ago i had encephalitis. i still don't feel the same as i did before but am much better. I had never had migraine before this and there is no history of migraine in my family. So I am sure this is a by-product of the encephalitis. Anyway I was wondering if any of you have carotid migraines. I don't get the typical blistering headache but lots of dizziness and vertigo at times with a fullness in my ear and fullness in the neck in the area of the carotids. i hate it!

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      cannot do caffeine or alcohol anymore. those are the main ones. i think msg is a big problem so i try to stay away from processed foods
      Magnesium Too Soon to Tell
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      for pain and inflammation
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      i use only when the migraines come. it lessens the symptoms
