cervicogenic headaches - topamax
Hello All-
I've been on the neuropthy forum for a few months now and decided to check out the headache forum too. I've suffered from migraine since I was 18 (now 51) but have been lucky in recent years to have sumatriptin work for me. However, the past several of years they have been getting worse. Tried several rounds of botox this summer which made them worse. Started topamax this week. I linked on to a site that Dr Smith reccomended and saw info about cervicogenic headaches which I definitly have. I'm not sure how these trigger a full blown migraine but they seem to do. Any suggestions on how to try and minimize these headaches? I get a severe migraine with any excerise and when the weather changes. Use to get them with hormonal changes but am now on a patch so hormones dont seem to be a trigger now.
Thanks!
Judie
