I have had problems with my sinuses forever, it seems. I've had nose bleeds lately, and I know I've got a deviated septum and I'm planning on getting it fixed although it doesn't sound like fun at all! But, I know it will help me breathe so much better. Anyone else have this problem and good results?...

Denise,

I had a deviated septum. It caused me to have sinus infection after sinus infection, so I fianally had it repaired. It stopped the sinus infections, but had NO impact on my Migraines at all.

Did we discuss a Migraine specialist the last time we conversed here? What happened with that?

Teri,

Yes, I'm seeing him now going on 4 times. He has me on Lamictol and I'm raising the mg. Doesn't seem to be helping yet. However, when I get one, I can stop it with Aleive or midrin sometimes. But.........Midrin tears up my stomach, so I can't take that all the time. Nor can I keep taking Aleive too often. So, I'm basically screwed.

Oh well, I'll keep praying, and hope I get my disability, that will be one less worry. I go next week to hearing.
