Wow! A great website! Too Too bad that Canada does not have an equally comprehensive website. They tend to be wishy washy in their approach to migraine. My question: Is there any truth to the success of brow lift (cutting of the muscles in forehead and cutting the nerves that transmit pain of migraine) surgery as a drug free remedy for migraines? Thanks in advance. Joan in Ontario Canada

Me again.I recently had an MRI and will see my doctor in a couple of weeks to go over that but as of now,nothing has changed. I had to postpone a meeting at my baby's school because of a migraine.When I finally made it there and explained to the young woman working that I had a 3 day migraine,She giggled in her bright sunny office and said "Oh I know, I'm having one right now!" Very politely I said "No you're not.Let me stab an ice pick into the back of your eyeball via your temple and then we'll talk!" Trying my Tenz unit for back pain on my wrist like the De-Ka Titan and I feel a tiny bit of relief. God bless each of you suffering.As sorry as I am for all your going through it is nice to know I'm not alone.Hang on.

I have had Migraines now for over 5 years. I get between 150 and 200 of them a year. I have been seeing Doctors for them but they tell me I am part of that 2 % that they are not able to help. Nothing seems to help nothing seems to work. About 85 to 90 % of mine come in the morning or as I sleep at night and awaken me to pain with which I have to put up with to about noon. Thank you for the fine web site. It is vary helpful.

I wanted to go to Philadelphia to the IHS Congress after reading about Cindy. I read your article on MAGNUM's migraineblog.com about Mrs. Cindy McCain last night, then I saw her on TV this morning—WOW Keep up the wonderful, wonderful work you people do. I also enjoyed reading about the volunteers who help MAGNUM. It is nice to see women given credit for the hard work they don't have to do! MAGNUM does this so we all can learn more about migraine disease, bravo. One more thought then I shall run. Eleven or twelve years ago I found MAGNUM or maybe it was longer, anyway when I saw migraine called a disease over and over on your website I printed it out and took it to my neurologist, gently placing on her desk and I told her "See I told you so"! All she said was allot of her colleagues agree with MAGNUM in that migraine is a complex disorder or yes a disease. Then she asked you got this from MAGNUM's website didn't you? All I remember saying was "See I told you migraine was a disease." It was the beginning of taking control of my migraines. I can only hope this remark makes your organization’s efforts feel worth the work. Because we sure need you guys & gals to keep it up! As you know it takes years as MAGNUM point’s out (while being under a doctors care) to learn about your illness and how to control it while not letting it control you! Those evil rotten triggers take time, but it was worth it as they peel off one by one and then preventives begin to actually work for the first time now that you eat right, wear the correct kind of sunglasses and so on. So you first times start with Myth & Reality Section, you can’t go wrong! Thanks again, Sharon

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this site! I've only begun to look through it but have already learned so much! I've suffered from them for years and have had to deal with dr.s who just aren't informed. I've watched my mom struggle with them for years with no releif. This is now on my favorites!

Sufro de migranas desde que tenia 8 anos ahora tengo 54. Algunos desencadenantes de la migrana los puedo controlar otros no. He estado en tratamiento medico por anos. Mi hija desafortunadamente empieza a padecer de migranas. Solo esperamos que en un futuro cercano tengamos un medicamento que ayude a prevenirla Luz Buitrago
