Medicare just started covering Botox, mainly for severe migranes, Blepharospasm might be considered a benign condition and might fall under "cosmetic" Good luck tryin to get it covered

Neuropathy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathy Y-THINK-Y Subluxation could be the cause. It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor to assess the problem. You can get x-rays and a detailed physical of your nervous system, spine, and overall health. A subluxation is when your spine is misaligned which causes either pinched nerves, damaged nerves, damaged discs, etc. Your nerves are like the life line to your organs. If it is pinched or not allowed to function 100%, then it is like pinching a water hose. Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic, especially you at this time. The sign of a good doctor is to listen to his patient! Keep moving and get another opinion. It's possible all it is would be a pinched nerve in your back, but one never knows. It could be many thing. Any doctor that poo-poos a problem such as yours isn't earning his/her money!

yes.

It should be replaced 15 days prior to major hemorragic surgeries like spine fusion or very delicate ones (some plastic repairs, etc.) with another anti-seizure prescription.

I'm getting a rattling sound, too. But my problem is in my speakers. I'd have to guess you either need new speakers, or your problem could be in the hatch door. A friend of mine had that problem. His hatch window was loose or something, and that rattled, and eventually leaked. Hope that helped.

Side effects appear to be mild. Patients have reported stomach upset, dry mouth, and nausea.

Petadolex is a non-prescription herbal supplementation that claims to give migraine sufferers possibly 62% fewer migraine days. It does not work instantly but seems to begin to give relief after being in the body's system for about 3 months. Petadolex is made from Butterbur root and claims to have a muscle relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effect. It is not FDA approved as it is an herbal supplement, and it is manufactured by Weber and Weber. For more information you can go to www.migraineaid.com.

none of the responses were pertinent. my insurance doesn't like to pay for migraine meds too expensive. otc 's do not work. since they are related to my period i was wondering if it was possible to continue taking the bcp to control the frequency and severity of the migraines. since the neurological medications we tried did not work.

Only a doctor who is familiar with your personal medical history as well as the other medicines, supplements and herbal preparations you may be taking, is qualified to decide if this medicine is appropriate for you, in your particular situation, as a Migraineur.

Yes though it is extremely rare it has been proven that it can cause a rare form of sudden death syndrome by forming a lethal brain stem compression.

Chiari malformation can become a progressive disorder and lead to serious complications:

Hydrocephalus: accumulation of excess fluid within the brain

Syringomyelia: a cavity or cyst (syrinx) forms within the spinal column

Paralysis, which may occur due to the crowding and pressure on the spinal cord, tends to be permanent, even after treatment with surgery

Sudden Death: Lethal brain stem compression may accompany even relatively minor trauma associated with chronic cerebellar tonsillar herniation in patients with Chiari I malformation.

Any change in headache pattern indicates that you should see your physician. Headache Specialists are best for diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders. Neurologists can be helpful as can other physicians, but they are not as well versed or experienced as headache specialists in diagnosing and treating headache disorders.

no, they are the same drug just different release profile.

Back spasms and Migraine can be comorbid. This means they are separate conditions that one person has at the same time. Spasms can also trigger Migraine in susceptible individuals. See your physician or headache specialist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and headache disorders.

Keratconus is when the front of your cornea develops a 'point' Close up it can look like the apex of a rugby ball. It can cause visual disturbance. This 'point' can grow and may droop downwards.

Imitrex is a brand name sumatriptan drug that condenses blood vessels around the brain, and works to lower specific substances which have been known to induce headaches. The ultimate effect is to help relieve a migraine.

I wouldn't have thought so. Exercise will get your blood moving faster, and may make the migrain worse. The best thing to do is rest/sleep in a darkened room.

Women are more prone to migraine headaches because the hormonal changes a women's body goes through can often trigger a migraine headache. This mainly involves the sharp decline in estrogen, the release of prostaglandins, and a deficiency in magnesium during the menstrual cycle. It is not limited to this, however, as the beginning of menopause and pregnancy are two other times women can become more likely to be triggered by migraines.

Cupping causes blood to be drawn to the surface of the skin, which can cause red marks, swelling, and bruising.

Excedrin Migraine has been reported to have been recalled as a result of the chance that prescription pain killers may have been mixed into the distribution.

Yes like any sport which requires a lot of short burst of energy you can get what l call effort headaches. What you can do is take an aspirin prior to any strenous exercise which can help to eleviate it somewhat but it isn't a cure. Remember to replace the salt you have lost through sweating with a good rehydrating drink. Horleys replace is what a use.

There are cures for migraine...Neurofeedback is a non invasive training to help regulate brainwaves. I have trained people with migraines for many years and can say it works great.

You either have to pick up your check or it will be mailed to you. Which ever is company policy for where you used to work.
