I have had migraines on the right side of my head since I was 13 (took a head blow to the left side of the head and since then migraines, occasional tremors, and once in a great while a seizure). most of the time, they are medically controlled. however, recently, I have for 6 weeks now, had rolling severe migraines - auras (flashing lights, the smell of rotten citrus), nausea, vomiting, sensitive to light and noise, tremors on the right side, (no seizures - blessed be!). my neurologist has changed medications - doubled my dose of clanozipan which has knocked most of the tremors down, and now take 100 mg of topiramate daily and isomethept-dichloralp-acetaminophen as needed up to 3x/day. he has requested an eeg (kidna useless unless I have a seizure while i m hooked up - my daughter has artive lupus - been this route before), and both a standard and contrast mri. are there any other tests you can recommend that might pinpoint if these are physical and not hormonal? at age 50 i m beginning to think the changes may be hormonal - i.e. premonpausal, or possibly sinus related (I have chronic allergies - and a sinus headache pressing in the right place could change blood flow to trigger a migraine - or possibly weather related - I live in florida - if you don t like the weather, wait 5 minutes. I just want the pain gone - no class 3 narcotics (have an issue with them and don t want to ever have one again) and my life back. any ideas? ty! Lori Goodall
