The facial pain may be caused mainly by TN since migraine headaches are associated with one-sided throbbing headaches and sometimes numbing of different body parts such as the extremities and face. Medications or surgery are often done to manage TN while avoiding the migraine triggers and prescription medications help with the headaches. If it persists, check with your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
Triptans are migraine medications that interupt the physiology of a migraine and STOP the migraine from happening. Migraine is much more than just pain, so taking pain killer for migraine is only treating one part of the migraine and not actually stopping the migraine... which is why so often the pain killers don't even touch the pain or the pain will return. If you are having migraines, you should really be treating them with proper migraine medications.
When I first went on it, I went for over 3 months without so much a daily headache. Before that I was getting some sort of headache every day with migraines 2-3X a week. Some insurances may not pay for this as it is not marketed for this pupose. Some docs may not know about this. My headache specialist put me on this. Hope this info helps.

Yesterday morning I woke up around 4am with another migraine. I took my sumatriptan, and the migraine was gone when I woke up again. I commuted to my college, and went about my day. Yesterday evening it came back (maybe a rebound?). Knowing that it typically gets worse, I took a sumatriptan before bed. Last night, I woke up every hour desperate for relief. Ice didn't work. Changing my position didn't work.
Have been diagnosed with migraines but the correlation of cracking my neck then having a wretched headache (with migraine attributes--which yours sounds like as well--bilateral/suborbital pain) is just too odd AND Yet occurs too regularly to be coincidence!!! Have you found a solution and/or come across any medical literature that explains a link btw the two?
Am having a throbbing headache along with pain deep down my eyes...I went to see my doctor who gave me other medication and checked for nerve palsy.and said it's nothing but migraine.it's been 3 weeks since am suffering from migraine ,have been taken migraleve, diclofenac & sumatriptan. Which do give relief but whenever i watch tv or using the computer the headache come back and i feel my eyes tired and aching.Do i need to see an optician or need glasses?

Had emergency appt with neuro who has diagnosed Vestibular migraine, altho none of my symptoms really match the required for vestibular migraine.
I would like to know how long after taking Sumatriptan/Imitrex could any drowsiness side effect be considered to have worn off for when I get a migraine away from home and have no reasonable option to get home without driving myself. A few years ago, I got a migraine while some distance from home. I do not drive with a migraine.
my doc put me on birth control pills and took pills for 2days and that night while I was sleeping I woke up with this bad one sides headache....I still remember how bad that headache was, I was in tears and excrutiating pain in one left eye and head. I had no aura I just woke up with this horrible pain. My doc then gave me a shot od deporpovera.....and where then, I have developed "migraines".
In addition, many medications used to treat migraine headache (Excedrin Migraine Pain Reliever/Pain Reliever Aid, oxygen, prednisone [Deltasone]) can also be used for cluster headache.
You should consult a neurologist regarding these treatment options.
Apart from this avoid stressful events,develop a regular sleep patterna d do daily exercises.

Cannot tolerate side effects. Sumatriptan injection quickly aborts but only allotted so much per month. Almost out of injections and has no pain relief. Neuro dropped her as patient and advised to find another neuro. He states cant do any thing more fr her. Been to ER. No help. Referred to neuro. Can't get in for 3 weeks. They feel no urgency. Also dr adv her she as penial cyst but not the reason for the pain....he states has had cyst since birth?? Cannot function.
- injection with sumatriptan (assuming you have not already taken the replex)
- IV liquids (at least one liter i believe is the standard... but you can trust the hospital with giving you enough)
- morphine. this will make you feel sick and disgusting. if they say they are giving you morphine, ask for hydromorphone... it is more expensive (if you live in america, much more expensive for you...
That is kinda why I posted this question. I knew that when a prodrome comes the migraine headache is not long off. So, can you do anything while in prodrome that can stop the headache from coming? Well, if you want to talk more about mit just friend me and we can talk more one on one. Hope to hear from you soon, and good luck.
Hello Dear,
Your symptoms resemble those of migraine. Symptoms of a migraine may include sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, auras (loss of vision in one eye or tunnel vision), difficulty of speech and intense pain predominating on one side of the head
You can also try for sumatriptan in combination with NSAID like naproxen.
Has your husband been to a headache specialist? Where do u live? Google headache specialist in your area. I had 2 cluster headache cycles in my life and they are no joke almost makes migraines a piece of cake. There is also a support site called ****************.com. There are alot of treatment for cluster's. Usually the best is to sttart with a prednisone taper while starting verapamil of lithium high flow oxygen for aborting headaches. What are his symptom's .
Some people have success treating migraine with ibuprofin (such as advil). For me nothing works except sumatriptan (such as imitrex) for you need a prescription.
Migraine headaches can be brought on by triggers, like stress, anxiety, chocolate, oranges, cheese, red wine, lack of sleep, glaring at a computer for too long. Everyone is different, so if one food triggers a migraine headache for someone it does not mean that that will be your trigger. There are also prescription medications specifically for migraines.
The other causes of headaches could be from blood pressure, either being too low or too high.
Also, this type primary headache may be present in ombination with other types like migraine or luster headaches. Check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Prescription medications like ergotamine, sumatriptan or intranasal application of local anesthetic agent may help. Try also to avoid the triggers that you mentioned. Take care and do keep us posted.
