Mareena,

-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-

I'm not quite sure what your diagnosis is as there's no such thing as "tension Migraines." A tension-type headache (TTH) can be a Migraine trigger. Is that perhaps what you're talking about? If so, the key would be to stop the TTH before it triggers a Migraine.

Midrin is prescribed for both Migraines and TTH, so it's worth discussing with your doctor. Something else that some of us with neck and shoulder issues have found is that a TENS unit applied to the shoulders and lower neck when the pain starts will sometimes stop a TTH, without medications, before it can trigger a Migraine.

If this isn't the information you were looking for, please reply with another question.

Good luck,

Teri
