[QUOTE="JackBeNimble, post: 656500, member: 18998"] One more reason for migraines is a condition my sister had which is called an AVM. As the result of a stroke she had a MRI and it showed a ball of blood vessels on one side front of her brain. The blood vessels were entangled around each other and it was leaking blood. She had an immediate operation where they used gamma rays to kill the wild growth of blood vessels. A man where I used to work had the same condition in his spine rendering him paralyzed from the waist down. He was diagnosed having polio as a young teen and had lived his life in a wheel chair. Only an MRI showed the real reason for his condition forty years later. Remember that doctors are human and they make mistakes. I spent almost thirty years of my life in a small town outside a small city in Pennsylvania. I had a skin condition and was diagnosed by two dermatologist as having Psoriasis.
