I have not had a migraine in more than 25 years since I was treated by a chiropractor. I used to have them several times a year. Many of your symptoms might be addressed by a reliable chiropractor.

I would go to chiropractor and see what they can do for you. As IsadoraAlman has said, I know it dose help with my headaches. It will give you some energy too.

Thanks for the idea.

hi. i began having migraines at age 6. my parents weren't very concerned as they both also suffered with them especially my mother. not one doctor or chiropractor recommended that i see a neurologist until i was 50 years old. they found severe disc degeneration in my entire cervical spine and spinal stenosis which was causing inflammation to the nerves that come out of the spinal discs. i had assumed, as had my doctors, that the pain that i'd had in my neck for so many years was just a part of the migraine and not an additional component.

i would suggest that you see a neurologist and have them rule out any additional problems before turning to chiropractors. if you're "cleared" for it, chiropractic therapy can be a great way to find relief or even acupunture.

good luck!

Wow. Just when you think there is nothing left to learn about migs...

I think I get that same thing! I always thought it was just sinus pressure but it is almost always on my right side which is also where most of my - I'll call them sharp - migraines begin. "Sharp" as opposed to the slow build from my neck (which is screwed up too) to a tension/migraine. But I get that same 'fluttering...that is the perfect word! very interesting. thank you.

I am currently waiting for my zonegran to kick in - up to 200mg a day. It worked great for me a couple years ago but then slowly stopped. Dropped it for more than a year and I now hope it helps me. I have had a mig just about every day for a week. not all day, pain in the am...then the zomig or maxalt kicks in and then I am just wiped out.

alright - enough boo-hooing. It could always be worse.

I've had migraine for longer than I knew it was migraine.Have you had an mri done?It seems like chronic neck pain would effect your head(even if it's referred pain)

Asuuming may not be a good thing as far as the dizziness.Any new or different symptom you may not want to overlook.Migraine's a weird disease.

I have a website:http://mymigraines.com/

My husband is a web consultant/web designer/host.He built the site for me.All the content,is up to me.I get daily updates from newsfeeds if you want to check it out.I'm trying to get the forum going on it.

Anyway,I'd get checked out.

Oops, I haven't checked back here in a while! Great comments. I'm going to check out your website, Margevans.

Right now I have a sinus infection and am on antibiotics, so we'll see what happens when that's over.

I have had an MRI, but not since the dizziness began.

Thanks, everyone!
