I think I would call your neuro -- since that doc ordered the MRI at least doc will be in the loop on symptoms. Certainly wouldn't hurt to tell them what's going on, might change exact areas tested and save you money and not have to redo the test to cover more of an area. Good luck!

My old housemate had real bad migraines. Had them all her life. She finally got to see a headache specialist neuro and she had to keep a food diary. She had to eliminate all dairy that was curdled, such as buttermilk. She drank a lot of butter milk and apparently that was a food that triggered her headaches. Cheese was a no no as well.

I would try keeping a diary or at least a food diary. But seeing a neuro specialist will help you.

Food really made a difference with her headaches. Also, certain meds prevented the migraines. But seeing a doctor would hopefully rule out what it is to make sure that it is a migraine.

Best of luck in your search. Keep searching until you get the answers you need. Migraines can make you nauseous.

I see a chiropractor and have known people come in to see the chiro for migraines so having an adjustment can possibly help you head. They are cheap and are usually covered by insurance.

thank you both!! they ordered me some flexerall for over the weekend. still some pain but meh...

Hi, my lessions are in my spinal cord, so I get pain a little higher than my neck, its not a headache, its a pain in the head. Muscle relaxers work great for me.
Hope you feel better soon.

I too get that, and yes muscle relaxers help me too
I hope you feel better today??

I would let your neuro know this is happening

Let us know what you find out

I get neck pain but it from an accident and the muscle relaxers help but the chiro is what really makes a difference. Don't know if my MS aggravates the neck stiffness but the chiro adjustments help me. I get migraines as a side effect from Rebif and I take Zomig for them. That takes the migraine away,. Use all tools at your disposal and see what your doctor says. You may have to speak to both the neuro and PCP. But the neuro will tell you if this is common with MSers. I don't know anyone in my local group with migraines from MS (just me from the side effect of Rebif).

I talked to my neuro and she said it does indeed pertain to MS, although, not necessarily a flare up.
On the other hand, I called my Rheumys on call and they called me in some Flexerall (sp?). The pain has gone down quite a bit (hallelujah!!!) , although it begins to kick in again during the evening :/

With all that said, I had my MRI done yesterday morning, believe it was brain and cervical spine.
Now I discuss the results with my Neuro and I'm bringing this up to them.
And again, thank you for all your support :)))
