Who can I contact regarding migraine research?
I am a migraine sufferer, and to date I have not been able to find resources that address the more peculiar of my migraine symptoms. As such, I would be interested in contacting medical professionals or organizations conducting research and perhaps participating in a clinical study. I’ve done some web searches and made a few phone calls, but it seems that points of contact for this sort of thing are hard to find. Anyone know where to start?
If there is a medical college in your area, check there to see if they need an subjects for study of migraine headaches. You poor darling. I empathize, I suffered with migraines for years and was subjected to medical proceedures that just increased the pain.
I found out some of the reasons for migraines are, hormones (esp. if you are at start of Change of Life/menopause), aged cheeses (esp imported), and red wine (contains preservatives that can trigger headaches), peanuts, raw spinach, chocolate, and even coffee (any food containing oxalic acid, or mold)also excessive stress.

I used Feverfew (an herb, from health food store). gently rub oil of peppermint or Vicks Vaporub on forehead.
Also acupuncture (from a certified acupuncturist) helps tremendously. I also got a divorce plus used all the methods I mentioned and that worked for me. I hope you find some relief.
