Migraines
by Gigi4647, May 20, 2009 08:18PM
Does anyone have any information regarding Atypical migraine headaches?
I have been diagnosed with Atypical migraine headaches and I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with these headaches and if anyone has found ways to alleviate symptoms when they occur.
I have had many tests-Brain MRI with contrast, vision tests, several EMG/nerve conduction studies, tons of blood tests, and tons of hearing tests. The conclusion was Atypical migraines. I was first told ALS or MS were possible
diagnosis. Both have been ruled out based on test results and the conclusion is Atypical Migraines.

There are some treatments that seem to work better with atypical migraine and symptoms, depending on what those symptoms are. But for the most part your neurologist will probably recommend treatments that are common to other types of migraine - whatever seems to closest fit your symptoms.
So your neurologist has to give treatment based on the symptoms which are closest with the typical migraine.
Try to keep away from things which usually start your migraine. Stressless life, healthy diet and proper sleep without smoking and zero alcohol is what you have to achieve to get started.
Take care and keep consulting your neurologist as this is a continous treatment.
