Hi DancingThrough,   When we get more than three or four Migraines a month (there is a difference between Migraine and headache) it may be time for Migraine prevention medication. A Migraine specialist can help you get the right diagnosis because they are the experts in this area. We have a list of patient recommended Migraine specialists you can see by clicking HERE.   What is a Migraine? It is a genetic neurologic disease that has flare ups, the attack themselves. Does you head pain get worse with activity? Are you sensitive to light and/or sound? Any stomach upset with your head pain or visual issues? Dizziness, and certainly ear pain for some can be part of a Migraine attack. Anatomy of a Migraine explains in detail the four phases of a Migraine attack. See what you think.   You may want to try keeping a Migraine diary. This allows you (and the doctor) to see what may be triggering an attack for you. Some things that can trigger, not cause, a Migraine are dehydration, changes in sleeping patterns, chocolate and the weather. Click HERE for our free downloadable diary.   Good luck Nancy
