Default What are some different types of migraines? - 12-28-2008, 12:36 PM

I get really bad migraines. Severe pain, spots in my vision, loss of feeling in extremeties, vomiting, etc. I find it hard to talk, and I usually crawl to the bathroom. Yet I see other people who are walking around, working, etc. and they say,"Yeah, I have a migraine."I cannot be prescribed certain types of birth control, because I am told I have"migraines with neurological affects."Are there different types, because when I get one, there is no functioning at all. Yet, when I see someone who is walking around and talking, and claims to have one, I am yet to believe that they are actually having a migraine. So are there different kinds?

Varying degrees of severity. Some migraines are much worse than others. Some last for days or weeks.Many people think that any headache is a migraine. This is not true. Migraines can be on either side of the head, generally have some indication of onset, auras, tunnel vision, naseua, and extreme pain.Migraine are in the brain stem and seem to be a chemical regulation deficiency. 3/4 of all migraine sufferers are women. Many women find it is tied to their menstral cycle.Medication works for some, either taken everyday or on onset. Some find diet triggers the migraine, or stress, or lighting.Migraines are really not well understood and there is little definitive information about them or how to treat them.

Migraines manifest with different symptoms. Not everyone has the same symptoms that you do with migraines. For example, I can get sensitivity to light and sound, extreme dizzy spells, nausea, pain that radiates, vision changes, intense pressure on my head and eyes, and sometimes, my hair hurts. There are other people who see auras, get ringing in their ears and other possible symptoms. These symptoms may or may not appear all at once. For example, when I was originally diagnosed with migraines, I was having constant dizzy spells with little to no other symptoms. After a battery of tests by the neurologist, it was determined that I was suffering from a type of migraine.What triggers these symptoms relates to where the migraine starts and how much the blood vessels in the brain are constricted. They can put more pressure on certain nerves and synapses than others.So it is possible that others are having migraines, yet less severe than yours, and affecting them in different ways than yours.Have you ever tried going to a chiropractor? I tried every medication available and was even hospitalized for migraines, with no luck. The only thing that stopped them is chiropractic care. Yes, I still get them now, but instead of daily migraines, I get one every other month or less. I would recommend you talk to a local chiropractor in your area to see if perhaps they could help you.

There are several different types of Migraine. And it does matter what type you have and that you know what type you have. Some medications shouldn't be taken with some types of Migraine. Some people have more than one type of Migraine. In fact, that's not unusual at all.

Migraine without aura is the most common type of Migraine. Migraine with aura is the second most common type. Approximately 20 - 25% of Migraineurs have Migraine with aura. Most people who have Migraine with aura do not have an aura with all of their Migraines; they also have Migraine without aura.

We tend to associate migraine with adults, but children as young as five can develop a type of migraine called abdominal migraine. The symptoms for abdominal migraine are severe abdominal pain near the navel.

Children may suffer the other classic symptoms such as,

• vomiting,
• diarrhea and
• nausea, but not necessarily the headache.

It is for this reason that the condition can be easily missed for some time and put done to just a 'tummy ache' or an excuse for not wanting to go to school etc. It is not until the abdominal pain becomes frequent, that it is investigated. It has been found that most children who experience abdominal migraine, go on to suffer migraines with or without aura, later in life.
