    Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

     

    Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease, characterized by flare-ups, the Migraine attack. Headache can be just one symptom of a Migraine attack. This article What is a Migraine is very helpful. A Pineal cyst won't cause a Migraine, but may trigger one.

     

    Typically, when taking Migraine prevention medications, it can take up to three months for our bodies to adjust to them. So if you've taken several preventive medications this month, they haven't had a chance to really work, I'm sorry to say.

    I have yet to find a ER doc to follow a Neurological suggestion.  My last visit I pulled out my Neuro recommendation and they look at like it was something from another planet.  They don't believe in following neuro plans. they like to follow there own.
