This is a very common presentation of the migraine syndrome. Frequently their problems are compounded by overmedicationeither by self-medicating or prescription drugs. Often there is a history of injury to the neck, for example, whiplash. Often they have been to the chiropractor and have been told there neck is so far out of alignment that the curve in the neck is reversed. The curve in the neck is straightened or reversed because of painful spasm. The trigeminal nerve (sensation of the face) and the cervical (neck) nerves are adjacent to each other in the brain stem (the base of the brain). What affects one affects the other. Migraineurs who smoke usually will develop neck problems. It is absolutely essential for the migraineur who smokes to abstain! Smoke is a smell. The sensitivity to the smell is the problem! Also secondhand smoke and perfumes are major problems. The patient can develop extreme sensitivity to stress and after years with frequently develop fibromyalgia.
Migraine Headaches: Are Pain-Killing Drugs Worth The Risk?Patients with migraine headaches seek over-the-counter pain pills by the multimillions. But are these migraine headache sufferers actually helping themselves or are they taking dangerous risks that they are unaware of?
All drugs are dangerous. Before a person suffering with a migraine headache takes an over-the-counter medication they should be asking the question Is the possible benefit worth the risk of taking that drug?

This person falls into the migraine syndrome profile. Let me explain what I mean by the migraine syndrome. It is the outward expression of the bodys sensitivity to light, sound, smell, food, and/or stress. Some people are more sensitive than others; therefore, their reactions to different stimuli are greater. This sensitivity can be manifested in the body as migraines, sinus headaches, neck aches, palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, motion sickness or vertigo, reactive hypoglycemia, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), panic attacks, and/or fibromyalgia. Now thats a mouthful! Understanding what is going on with you is very important in the healing process.
