Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection!

What you're describing could be from your neck issues or something else entirely. We'd love to help, but the problem is that nobody, even a doctor, can diagnose via the Internet.

Have you checked with Health and Human Services to see if you're eligible for Medicaid? Are there any free clinics in your area?

I know you wanted advice other than "go to the doctor," but there's really no other advice I can safely give you. Sorry.

Thank you for creating a SharePost. SharePosts are a form of blogging, and there are many things you can do with them. You can share an experience, suggest something that's helped you, use SharePosts as a Migraine and headache journal, and many other things.

We also have a discussion forum that you may want to check out. Especially if you have questions or are looking for information, you may find the interaction on the forum to be quite helpful. To get to the forum, just look for the orange box marked "Manage" and click on the Migraine Forums link. Because our forums are maintained by a third party, you'll need to register for the forum.
