Beary, you rock. You know that girl?
I have no doubts that migraines are, in those with MS, frequently a resulting "symptom" of MS.
When headaches/migraines are mentioned in MS discussions, I tend to pay close attention. It's really no surprise to see folks who never suffered migraines before suddenly experiencing migraines with MS.
In any event, I get all types of different headaches and migraines. Sometimes it's hard to really evaluate it and say, "This is a headache. This is a migraine. Well, I'm not entirely sure what this is because the pain is not typical of headache or migraine!". I've had the regular old headache that I can take a couple Tylenol and rid myself of in 30 minutes, but then I've had the headaches that come on gradually over the course of a day, and no matter how many pain medications I take, the only relief is from sleeping them off.
I've had periods of being 'headache free' for months on end, and then suffering back to back headaches for months on end. It wears on you, that much is for sure.
