Emory Peds-NeuroHeadaches the pattern of neurologic symptoms that develop. The more commonones include, Hemplegic Migraine and ophthalmoplegic migraine. http://www.emory.edu/PEDS/NEURO/ntshamg1.htm
Extractions: Migraine Headaches are recurring attacks of systemic and neurologic symptoms, occasionally neurologic signs, that follows a typical pattern of presentation, progression and resolution. Severe head discomfort is the major neurologic symptom. Other common neurologic symptoms include photophobia (sensativity to light), hyperacusia (sounds are precevied at excessive volume), and loss of apetite. Systemic symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, recurrent vomiting, generalized weakness, fatigue, exhaustion and need to sleep. Some children may develop pallor, become flushed and even run a temperature. Migraine Headaches are often frontal or more diffuse location in younger children but may lateralize in older children and teens. The pain typically builds in intensity over 5 to 20 minutes and may last several hours to several days. The pain builds to moderate to severe intensity with a pounding, intense character often to the point of crying . If vomiting occurs, the pain may subside following the vomiting . The need to sleep is a feature of migraine and may be related to the reduced blood flow measured over the cortex as the migraine progresses.

Extractions: Killing Bees When I was first Dxed with MS in 1990, I also found there was no cure but drugs from the medical world at that time. Yes, they had drugs to help with symptoms, but no cure. Although the drugs were not as bad as chemo, there were still side effects which I wanted no part of. After about 5 years I heard about BVT and I/We said, "Let's try it." So, I did. I did BVT from Sept. 1995 to July 1997. The only reason I stopped is because it was hurting too much and taking too long to do because I had to wait so long between stings. Here it is 2002 and they still have no cure for MS, just drugs to help symptoms. Some real bad drugs, too. Now, I am not working as I went out on disability in July 2000 because of the MS and I am in a power wheel chair almost full time to get around. I am at the point I need to do something. I am seeing an Advanced Alternative Medicine Doctor, "Doc Rick" since Feb. 2001. He has helped me a lot and I still see him every month, but I need more. So I/We decided to restart the BVT. My symptoms as of now are: cold hands, legs and feet; bladder control; my mind gets cloudy a lot, mainly after I eat; my eye sight is getting worse. Oh, and I can't walk or stand unaided.

Extractions: A migraine headache is a recurring, throbbing, intense pain that can affect one or both sides of the head. The pain typically starts gradually, peaks, and then subsides. Nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and other symptoms may also occur. In adults, the attack typically lasts between 4 and 72 hours. In children, it tends to last between 2 and 48 hours. The pain is aggravated by physical activity and often disrupts one's daily activities. Most migraine sufferers experience migraines one to several times a month. Others have only a few episodes over a lifetime or several each week. They are three times more common in women than in men and may occur before or during menstruation. The headaches usually begin before age 30, although they can happen in people who are in their 50s. They affect around 11 percent of Americans and tend to run in families. Migraines are classified into three subgroups: Migraine With Aura (previously called "Classic Migraine")
Extractions: Homepage Most migraines seen in physicians' offices are migraine without aura (formerly called "common migraine") and migraine with aura (formerly called "classic migraine" by some). Migraine aura without headache is also quite common, and is seen often by ophthalmologists. Neurologists and headache specialists often treat status migrainosus, characterized by a headache phase of over 72 hours. The other migraine types are listed in the left side bar and are fully described in the Headache Classification Committee's classification (1988).
Extractions: Home Alternative Medicine Stress Management Conditions/ Treatments ... Media Migraine Headaches Phases Of Migraine Prodrome Phase Aura Phase Headache Phase Termination Phase ... Postdrome Phase There are five well-defined phases of a classic migraine attack: prodrome, aura, headache, termination, and postdrome. You may experience more than one phase, although not necessarily all of them. Prodrome Phase The prodrome phase occurs hours to days before the headache. During this time, about 60% of migraine sufferers experience symptoms. The symptoms can be psychological (such as depression or extreme happiness), neurological (such as enhanced smell or heightened sensitivity to light), or constitutional (such as fatigue, loss of appetite, or increased thirst). Some people also experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. Although symptoms in the prodrome vary widely, each person usually has his or her own specific set of symptoms that signal a migraine. Aura Phase The aura phase immediately precedes or accompanies an attack. About 20% of migraine sufferers experience neurologic symptoms (the aura), usually developing over 5 to 20 minutes and lasting less than an hour. Migraines with visual disturbances are called classic migraines. The most common aura is flashing lights in a her- ringbone pattern. Some people see bright lights in other geometric patterns, or half of their visual field is blank.
Neurology Overview of the symptoms and diagnosis of basilar migraines.Category Health Conditions and Diseases Migraine Basilar Migraine literature also groups basilar migraine in with hemiplegic migraine andophthalmoplegic migraine under the heading of complicated migraines. Basilar http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/11/18/02.html
Extractions: MassageToday.com Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Basilar migraine was described by Bickerstaff in 1961 as a rare variant of migraine which frequently affects young women and girls and bears a strong relationship with menses.1 The condition is also known as basilar artery migraine, Bickerstaff's migraine, and syncopal migraine. Migraine literature also groups basilar migraine in with hemiplegic migraine and ophthalmoplegic migraine under the heading of "complicated migraines." Basilar migraine has since been shown to affect all age groups and both sexes with the usual migraine female predominance.2 The basilar migraine has been described by the Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society as "a migraine with aura symptoms clearly originating from the brainstem or from both occipital lobes." The aura phase of the migraine is due to transient brainstem and cerebellar ischemia, which can be mistaken for a transient ischemic attack of the vertebrobasilar circulation. The symptoms noted in the aura phase of the basilar artery migraine are the result of a combination of disturbances in the cerebellum, brainstem, and occipital lobes, which generally last for less than one hour. The aura phase usually begins with a bilateral disturbance of vision that may occasionally progress to temporary blindness. Visual symptoms are followed by varying combinations of ataxia, dysarthria, bilateral vertigo, tinnitus, changing levels of consciousness, bilateral paresthesias of the limbs, face, and tongue, and quadriparesis. Other brainstem- related symptoms less commonly noted include nystagmus, diplopia, and decreases in hearing.1-9

Extractions: MRI using gadolinium contrast material can demonstrate lesions in cranial nerves. Tumors and inflammatory lesions have been described. There is little published information on MRI of cranial nerves in patients with migraine headaches with ophthalmoplegia. We present a case of ophthalmoplegic migraine with a cranial nerve abnormality which was subsequently shown to improve as the patient clinically improved. Implications from this finding are discussed in relation to the pathophysiology of ophthalmoplegic migraine

Classic migraine : Migraine headache with aura (loss of vision or other visual symptoms, paresthesias, motor dysfunction) precedes the throbbing headache. 15-20% of migraines are classic (Russell and Olesen, 1996). Migraine with aura may be the first sign of CADASIL Common migraine : Migraine headache without aura. About 80% of migraines are of this type (Russell and Olesen, 1996). Vertebrobasilar migraine headache accompanied by dizziness or ataxia, hearing symptoms (other than phonophobia), nausea and vomiting, and sometimes loss of consciousness. This is rather common as about 1/3 of all persons with migraine experience true vertigo. Acephalgic migraine : Aura without headache. This diagnosis is generally made when persons who have headache and aura, also have aura without headache. Acephalgic migraines are generally thought to occur only about 1% of the time, but this is a hard number to pin down.

Extractions: Cluster headaches are one-sided headaches that usually occur in or around one eye. They are typically of short duration, usually lasting several minutes to several hours at the most. They are named "cluster" because they occur in a group or series. The patient has tearing of the eye, nasal congestion, facial flushing, and constriction of the pupil on the side of the headache. The series may last several months, occurring more frequently in the fall and spring, and the headaches may disappear for several months or several years. Some forms of cluster headaches, however, occur chronically. There are several kinds of migraine headaches. They include: Abdominal migraine - a type of migraine in which the pain is over the upper part of the abdomen and lasts a few hours. It is most common in female children. Diagnosis is easily made because of the family history of migraine, the infrequency of the attacks, and the frequent simultaneous occurrence of headache. If it remains undiagnosed, however, the patient may be subjected to unnecessary surgery for abdominal complaints. Basilar artery migraine - a type of migraine that can occur in younger people, with the headache most often limited to the back of the head. The symptoms are caused by a diminished blood supply to the parts of the brain supplied by the basilar artery. Besides nausea, patients may have double-vision, unsteady gait, slurred speech and may seem confused. During the headache, many lose consciousness. Often these patients are mistakenly thought to be drunk or mentally ill. A previous history of migraine is helpful in making the diagnosis.
