Cyclelops, I was diagnosed with abdominal migraine about ten years ago at Johns Hopkins. As a child, I had stomach pains and migraine headaches started at puberty. After the Hopkins diagnosis, I was referred to a headache specialist and prescribed the whopping dosage of Verapamil (480 mg). Prior to Verapamil, I was on a Beta Blocker for the tachycardia. Verapamil is one drug I have been tapering for tomorrows testing.

I have also been diagnosed with "complicated' migraine as I can have paralysis in my face (left side) and my eye waters and I have trouble talking. Also, parts of my body feel huge, not painful, just huge and out of proportion... Also, I have severe chest pain. I have had some help with nitroglycerin in the past from the pain. It is indescribable. I would imagine it is similar to what a heart attack feels like. But everything goes back to normal after an hour or so. Also, dilaudid did work for this pain (when I had some).

When I am in a flare, I often find it difficult to use my arms (as if there is a temporary paralyzing) though it is swift and passes quickly.

Do you think the abdominal migraine/complicated migraine be related to the SFN and autoimmune issues? Or, is it coincidental?
