Ellen: I find the same to be true for myself. Never knew what a
migraine was until I hospitalized with ATM. Sense I experience about one
episode a week and find that there cause to be tension in my upper back
and neck. A Florinal tablet is the prescribed treatment but a quick back
and neck rub will relieve the headache sometimes just as well. Problem
being no one to administer the massage quickly enough.
I remember reading about a muscle or sheath, newly discovered in the
last couple of years. "Don't ask me the name and I'm sorry I cannot be
more pacific" This muscle-sheath supposedly surrounds half the scull
and down the neck to the shoulder area that is quite thin and was
according the this article. A possible reason for some migraine or
chronic headache sufferers, particularly tension headaches.> "For what
it's worth".
If your asking if I know the difference between a headache and migraine.
I was dx'ed as migraines. And can attest aspirin has no effect on mine.
One side of the head and light and sound sensitive, quit uncomfortable.
Thank you DCJones {Dave}
