Post Your Health: Migraines can come with 'fellow travelers' (Topix)
If you suffer from migraine headaches, you suffer enough. These aren't just headaches: They are life-disrupting events that can send you to bed for hours or days at a time, unable to tolerate light, sound, odors or human contact.

I copied this over from our News Headlines Forum because it mentions MS, so I wondered if others might be interested in reading it. In the article it mentions different consequences of migraine headaches, and MS was just one of them.

Quote:
• Multiple sclerosis.
Women with migraine were 47% more likely to develop MS than those without the headaches in one study....
I guess this gives us one more avenue to explore.

Definitely. Life-long migrainer here.

I'm beginning to wonder if CCSVI + migraine + MS all tie in together in my case... my MS, other than constant double vision, has been 100% sensory. Migraines when I was very young, to Trigeminal Neuralgia attacks in my mid-20s, to dx'ed at 31 with MS. Hrm!

Still getting migraines.. though I know my own personal triggers and avoid those.

Interesting! Yup -- migraines began in 6th or 7th grade and continued into adulthood. Optic neuritis at 32 and finally diagnosed with MS at 46....????
