I just found this website on google. I've been living with migraines for 17 years, which is more than half of my life. I've tried just about EVERY medication-midrin, cafergot, imitrex, topomax, inderol, etc. The list goes on and on. I still use the imitrex nasal spray, which is the only thing that provides relief. The topomax literally made me crazy. Anyway, I just started going to a chiropractor. He thinks that my adrenal gland is over-worked, which may be the cause of my migraines. Has anyone else had this experience or know anything about the adrenal gland?

I suffered from migraines for my whole life from age 19 until I had a hysterectomy when I was 38. Then I had relief from them until a year ago when they came back with a vengeance. At the same time my Doctor found a very small tumor on my adrenal gland. The Dr. was unable to biopsy it, although they tried. They are monitoring it every 4 months to see if it is growing and so far it is not. My migraines are terrible and I suffer from them about 2-3 times a week. My vision is affected and my stomach, etc. I am wondering if there is a connection. I am going to another neurologist soon. I will let you know what he says. Do you think there is a connection?
