new/ eye watering
Nancy : Yes I have and my nose on that side stuffs up too. However, when I lie down on my side with the bad side up, it (the headache and stuffiness) often moves to the other side. I just keep rolling over, with the addition of ice packs till I can get up again. I also have one eye that waters, migraine or not, in any kind of windy weather. It's quite embarrassing, since it looks like you're crying. I think the eye thing has something to do with the histamine component to migraine. Maybe someone else knows more about that. Linda

Linda Linda, Thank you. Sometimes it just helps knowing that some of the symptoms are common to others also. I have not pursued very much in the way of medical treatment. I know they have discovered many new drugs in the last few years, but I have a tendency to suffer every side effect of everything invented. Right down to antibiotics even. Last "wonder drug" when I went to a doctor for my migraines was Inderal. I came home (100 miles) with a prescription for it. My druggist looked at it and said "You can't take this, Nancy! Your blood pressure is already so low that this would make you a zombie." The doctor knew about my blood pressure but he had already made his money on cat scans, MRI, ect. Do I sound bitter?<g Again, thank you and I know all about that 'rollin' around' from one side to another. It usually helps. Nancy J.
