i've had migraines for the last 12 years. for me, its a combo of hormones, stress, diet, bright lights, being over-heated, climent/weather change, back and neck problems....plus the fact that migrainers are more sensitive to the everyday things that give us headaches, but dont even phase the next person. Meaning, you might be able to sit there, in a dark room staring at the computer for 8 hours, while after 30 minutes my head starts pounding. Our brains are more sensitive to things that cause pain. If that makes any sense. The Dr explained it to me really well and i can't remember how he did, but that's pretty much what he was saying.

I know exactly what caused my headache when I get one, and most of the time it's hormonal (around the start of my period)...other times it's from lack of sleep, not eating enough or eating the wrong things, and extreme stress. My teeth are fine. The only thing that contributes to my headaches, other than waht i just said, is my back and neck being so messed up...and once in awhile because of my eyes.

So yea, I'm doombed. I've been to Dr after Dr and been on medication before...the OTC shit doesnt do a thing for me....so hopefully this Imitrex will :happysad:
