I'm guessing it was a virus since it never came back but it was frightening because doctors couldn't do much.

My hu...Oh, Beth, I hate that you went through this. My husband had severe migraines, then was in a car accident which aggravated them until he was eating BC powders like candy and they ate a hole in his stomach. The neurologist prescribed a migraine medicine, but Tom was having to take so much of it, that, even though his blood pressure wasn't high-high, the neurologist put him on Atenelol. It made such a difference that now (most of the time, anyway) he just has to pop two Excedrin at the first sign of a headache and it goes away. Most of the time. You're in my prayers, and I hope your doctors find the right prescription to help you!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074104063769255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-18616758104162591242012-09-05T21:15:45.467-05:002012-09-05T21:15:45.467-05:00OMG - I feel your pain.

I've never determined what sets mine off but can tell very quickly when one is on the horizon (my words get scrambled). I hope you have many good days between them.
