The women in my family all suffer from migraines and I have had them since I was 16. I am currently taking Elavil daily as a preventative and that helps.

I recently had a very bad sinus infection and ear infection. I was first prescribed a 5 day antibiotic which did nothing, so I was put on a stronger 10 day antibiotic along with a suggestion of using Afrin. I used it for 5 days and voiced my concern about using it longer than 3 days, but the docs told me to keep using it for another 5 days to see if that cleared up my ear infection. I have been on it for almost 2 weeks now and have noticed that my congestion has come back. The doc tried to give me Nasonex, which almost instantly gave me a migraine. I have not used it since and have been using Zyrtec D, a Salt water rinse, and afrin. Are there any nasal steroids out there that are safe for migraine sufferers who also have allergies?
