[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 551203, member: 1967"] I started getting what I called sinus headaches in my twenties. I would usually wake up with them and they would progress to vomiting. I found that the combination of sudafed and ibpuprofin helped me when I could keep them down. They were definitely seasonal and would be the worst in the fall when I was congested. easy child started having headaches in high school. The first time one hit, she ran into a dark room and laid down and went to sleep. We went to a pediatric neurologist who diagnosed her with migraines. He asked if anyone else in the family had migraines and I mentioned that my mother had one once a month the entire time I was growing up. Hers were definitely hormonal. I mentioned that I had sinus headaches and when I described them he told me that I was really having migraines that were triggered by allergies. He said most of what people think are sinus headaches are actually migraines. The doctor started easy child on medications and to our dismay we found out that easy child was allergic to the entire class of triptan drugs that are used for migraines. The only thing she could take was the prescription pain killer Midrin. When she takes it she gets sleepy and takes a nap and when she wakes up the migraine is usually gone. The good news is that easy child is having less and less of them as she is getting older. I hope Duckie can find a medication that works for her. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
