Veteran AN patient needs support

[yardtick]

Hey Deb what are the 15 different causes of headaches?  I see the neurologist tomorrow, I am armed and ready to do battle.

Dr Leonetti referred to about 15 causes in his ANA Notes article, which is an almost direct transcript of his headache workshop presentation.  Am away from home right now with no access to the hard copy I have at home--will list them after I get home if you still want them!

Your not alone, I am 8 years out and have the exact same symptoms. Noise above 80 Deciles.  starts the migraine process. I also have severe tooth aches which is the precursor of migraines. Nothing wrong with my teeth I go to the dentist twice a year. I have come to the conclusion that majority of AN'er will have the symptoms the rest of their lives. I just hope my problems don't get worse. I also worry about strokes with all the migraine's I get. Just when I think I got it bad I see others that have it worse! God bless us all cursed with the after effects.

Yes,  I feel the same way.   Somewhere on the Forum they said that they get cracked teeth on the non AN side.   I find myself grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw.   Am getting a night guard next Tuesday and hope that helps.
Hang in there.

When I read what you, as a 23-year-old, went through, I feel so badly.  At least I've had 60 good years of fairly decent health.  My heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers.
