It's helpful whether or not the headache is preceded by an aura (visual disturbances such as seeing halos or flickering lights). Experts think that migraines are caused by the expansion of blood vessels serving the brain, and that this expansion is triggered by a decline in the level of serotonin, one of the brain's chief chemical messengers. Frova works by restoring serotonin levels to normal. It belongs to a class of drugs called "serotonin agonists." Most important fact about this drug Return to top Frova can quell migraine attacks once they've begun, but it won't prevent them before they start. It should not be used for certain rare types of migraine called "hemiplegic migraine" or "basilar migraine," and it is not recommended for the "cluster headaches" that tend to affect older men.

Medical Information: Migraine Overview Migraines are a common disease often misunderstood by patients and even by many physicians. This section is geared to intelligent surfers who desire to learn more about migraine than most typical web sites offer. The information here is felt to be true and accurate by the author but at least in some areas there are neurologists who would disagree with some of the information presented. What are migraines? Conversely, if you do meet the criteria for migraine, then you likely do have migraine headache even if you have been told you have recurrent sinus or tension headaches. While the internet is filled with lots of information, both good and bad, there is still a place for books. Particularly to cover those areas that physicians tend to not spend enough time addressing. In this regard, I recommend an excellent book for patients with migraines is the Migraines for Dummies book. In the interest of complete disclosure, the author does thank me in the acknoledgement section. I have not met the author but she emailed me multiple questions about migraines and apparently found me helpful enough to be mentioned.

"Seraphim" Dancing With Migraine Disease As A Youth By Michael John Coleman I still remember clearly the first time a Migraine disrupted my life, I was just six years old and in the first grade. I looked sick enough that the teacher asked me to put my head down on my desk. I still recall looking through the tall classroom windows, with the blinds drawn all the way up and dark battleship-gray fluffy-bellied clouds looming as part of an approaching autumn thunderstorm. Unbeknown to me at the time was that atmospheric pressure changes, induced by weather fronts, was a major Migraine trigger, a fact I will learn later in life. I marveled as the clouds seamed to hover over one side of the playground, and the bright and painful afternoon sunlight on the opposite side of a baseball field, a chiaroscuro effect. "USDA Roadside View" Purchase an artist hand signed giclee print of this original image and all proceeds will be donated to MAGNUM! BUY NOW To this day, dramatic skies play a dominant roll in the landscapes I produce as an artist. The pain of my Migraines throughout my life has been like being tortured by invisible terrorists. An acute severe Migraine is difficult to explain to a non-suffer. Put it this way; after enduring the so-called 'headaches,' you don't fear other things, such as dentists and bullies. But you do fear having to explain to your childhood friends why you don't want to go out to play basketball. Better to play in pain than say "I have a headache", as that just invites bullying because kids just don't understand what they have not experienced.

imonit = true; Common Terms You Should Know Listed below are a few common terms you may come across in your reading and discussions about migraine. Click on a letter below to find the term you want or print out this glossary as a handy reference tool. A B C E ... Triptan A Aura The most common symptoms include visual changes, such as seeing flashing lights or jagged lines; experiencing blurred vision or blind spots; or having difficulty focusing. Aura may precede some migraine attacks. It develops gradually over 5 to 20 minutes, and generally lasts less than an hour. Up to 3 out of every 10 people who suffer from migraine experience aura before an attack. Back to top B Basilar Migraine A rare type of migraine with aura symptoms clearly originating from the brain stem or both occipital lobes. The aura is usually characterized by extreme dizziness, double vision, lack of coordination, or fainting. Headache pain begins at the back of the head, affecting both sides, and may progress down into the neck or forward to the top of the head. Headache is intense and throbbing, and vomiting may occur. Back to top C CAT Scan A CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan is a test that uses X-ray and computer technology to take pictures of the inside of the body from many different angles and then combines them into a single picture.

58. Migraine And Vertigo Less common types of migraine include basilar migraine. Symptoms include vertigo, tinnitus, decreased hearing, and ataxia (loss of coordination). http://www.vestibular.org/migraine.html

Migraine and Vertigo Migraine is a disorder usually associated with headache. Although it can affect the whole head, it usually occurs on one side only. It is characterized by throbbing and associated with symptoms that may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Flashes or patterns before the eyes may precede the headache. Symptoms may also include vertigo and imbalance. Migraine can be associated with benign recurrent vertigo of adults (not to be confused with BPPV), paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, motion sickness, and other vestibular disturbances. Stress, anxiety, hypoglycemia, fluctuating estrogen, certain foods, smoking and other factors can trigger migraine. Physicians treat vertigo and imbalance from migraine by reducing these risk factors. Treatment may also involve medications. Statistics Migraine is an extremely common disorder. Studies suggest that more than 20 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraine. Women are four times as likely as men to experience migraine, which can recur at intervals ranging from one day to several years. Studies indicate that about 25 percent of migraine sufferers experience dizziness during the attacks. Migraine classifications Migraine disorders are usually divided into several types including common, classic, migraine equivalent, and complicated migraine. However, the International Headache Society (IHS) recently developed a new classification system.

59. MENIERES AND MIGRAINES basilar migraine. Thought initially to occur primarily in adolescent girls, basilar migraine can occur in both sexes at any age. http://www.menieres.org/jacki/jackis68.htm

MENIERES AND MIGRAINES Neurotology of Migraine Robert W. Baloh, MD Migraine is a disease characterized by periodic headaches, but patients often experience other symptoms including dizziness and hearing loss and, in some, these can be the only symptoms. Since most patients equate migraine with headache, it can be difficult to convince them that symptoms other than headache are due to migraine. Comments such as "But, doctor, I don't have a 'migraine' with my dizziness" or "I came to see you because of my dizziness. I haven't had a migraine for at least a year" are common in our Neurotology Clinic. Until we understand the pathophysiology of migraine, it will remain difficult to educate patients and their physicians on the relationship between migraine and neurotologic symptoms. Furthermore, there is debate as to whether migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) are distinct syndromes, different manifestations of the same disorder, or part of a continuum. Patients can have both types of attacks (with and without aura), and not infrequently, both types of migraine run in the same family (see below). The headache phases of both types of migraine are almost identical, and the same treatments are usually effective for both types of migraine. Conversely, certain epidemiological characteristics, overall familial aggregation, and varying pathophysiologic findings suggest that these two types of migraine may be separate entities. NEUROTOLOGIC SYMPTOMS AND MIGRAINE

60. Other Conditions That Cause Dizziness basilar migraine, also known as Bickerstaff syndrom (1961), is an important variant of migraine with aura. Bickerstaff syndrome http://www.menieres.org/jacki/jackis70.htm

Other Conditions That Cause Dizziness There are many other conditions that cause dizziness. Below are some that we know of. Remember I am not a doctor but this is information I've picked up over the years that I thought was relevant to my site. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) This is one of the most common causes of dizziness and one of the easiest to diagnose and treat. It is best characterized by true vertigo and geotropic nystagmus that occur a few seconds after specific head movements, such as rolling over in bed, bending over, or looking upward. The vertigo usually lasts no more than a minute. Both the vertigo and nystagmus tend to lessen in severity with repetitions of the evoking movement. the symptoms are most often experienced when patients lie down, which distinguishes BPPV from orthostatic hypotension. BPPV may be recurrent. Links to more information on BPPV: More info on BPPV Autoimmune Inner Disease (AIED) AIED consists of a syndrome progressive hearing loss and/or dizziness which is caused by antibodies or immune cells which are attacking the inner ear. The classic picture is reduction of hearing accompanied by tinnitus (ringing, hissing or roaring) which occurs over a few months. Variants are bilateral attacks of hearing loss and tinnitus which resemble Menieres Disease, and attacks of dizziness accompanied by abnormal blood tests for antibodies. About 50% of patients with AIED have balance symptoms. The immune system is complex and there are several ways that it can damage the inner ear.
