    Being fobbed off by a busy doctor who either hasn’t got the time or doesn’t have the knowledge to treat migraine. I spent 5 years complaining to my doctor who put it down to the stress of having two small children and it wasn’t until we moved to a new area and changed doctors that I was finally referred to the London Migraine Clinic for much needed help. I attended there regularly for 2 1/2 years and finally I can control my migraine with a combination of diet, avoiding certain triggers and recognizing the symptoms when one is on it’s way so I can take medication in time. I find taking 20mg motillium (on prescription) when I take my medication helps me absorb the medication quickly as the first sign of my migraine attack is my stomach shuts down and I start to feel queasy. If I do not take motillium, it can be a couple of days before an attack subsides.

    I’ve been fighting migraines for 30 years. I know what triggers them and what helps once they start. However for the last year or so things have been changing. The headaches have been getting worse and worse and nothing helps anymore. My wonderful doctor sent me to a neurologist who ordered an MRI and it turns out I’ve developed Psuedotumor Cerebri – increased cranial spinal fluid pressure which can potentially lead to blindness. Find a doctor you trust and DO NOT ignore your body; you know it better than anyone else.

    I am a massage therapist and former migrainer. I used to eat just 1 Hershey’s Kiss and would have a migraine in 5 mins. After being in massage school a few months, headaches became rare. In my practice, migrainers almost always have tight neck,shoulders and rhomboids (between shoulders). I explain why this can lead to pain around the eyes and how regular massage may help to lower or even eliminate headaches. Not all massage therapists do good headache work but my suggestion is to try to find one. The success rate can be very high. Best wishes to all.
