I wanted to share my experience. I went to my doctor for migraines, terrible pressure on my temples to the point I could not touch my head to a pillow unless I took med's. My doctor didn't touch me, sent me for CAT scan did blood work and told me I probably had temporal arteries and sent me to a surgeon. He said at 45 I was too young for that and he sent me to nero. In the mean time I went to a dentist that said I may have TMJ but have my eyes checked.
I had my eyes checked and needed reading glasses. Went back to my doctor he still did not touch me put me on Tompamax. It helped some only two major migraines but depressed and severe hair loss. In the mean time I had developed nose bleeds so I decided I had to go to an ENT (he is well known for doing everything he can to help without surgery) but when looked in my nose he said I needed surgery but would do a CT scan of my sinus. I had a cyst, deviated septum and polyps in my nose. I had surgery two weeks ago and the pressure is gone in my neck, temples all over. I know that is not always the case and everytime you try something it breaks your heart when it doesn't work but now I am drug free and I am still recovering and feel a little tired but I can lie down an sleep. Many of you helped me late at night when I could not sleep just seeing that I was not alone. I pray for the many of you that need relief that you will find that doctor that can help you I found a great one who is now a friend as well, but if my headaches return and they may at least I found some relief. Merry Christmas and God Bless you all


Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. Taking care of nasal problems may reduce those Migraine triggers for some people if they are Migraine triggers. Some people get a Migraine from changes in the weather, certain foods, and dehydration. Migraine is thought to be a genetic neurologic disease, so all we can do to minimize our triggers that start a Migraine, not cause an attack, is a good thing.
