Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hanna Can you contact the neuro in Cleveland? It sounds like you might have inflammation in the arteries. If this is what is making it different, they might want to give you some prednisone. My son has strange migraines and he has had this happen a time or two. Please don't let it go too long. The longer a migraine lasts, the harder it is to break. Hugs, laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 19:14:55 -0000 > To: > Subject: Migraine? > > > Hello everyone.
