You know Allen, I've wondered that every now and then- whether there's something else going on in my brain to cause the migraines- but then I freak out that there IS something wrong and I have a giant tumour or something.

I've never had any tests done. I guess because my Dad has always had migraines that we just assumed it was hereditary, then it became more of an issue in these later years because of my RSD.

Usually they're your run of the mill migraines- hurting at the temples, behind my eyes, and at the lower back part of my head etc. Occasionally I can point a finger to the exact spot where it's hurting, but that's not often.

But you're right, I should really get a scan done to rule out anything else. I'm glad you don't HAVE to have the surgery, that you can keep going how you are. I hope it doesn't bother you too much.

Also, I just wanted to add that the main brand name for the beta blocker I'm starting on is Lopressor.
