"So I'm experiencing a new kind of migraine. I'm not sure when, exactly, the migraines started but I noticed this pain right along the bridge of my nose and radiates around my eyes. There isn't any warning except a feeling of a little congestion under my eyes. Like eyes get when the allergies strike. If you've read my feed for any length of time you know I was bit by a dog on the face. My doctor gave me migraine meds but I'm not sure this is an official migraine. It's very painful but it seems to be caused by inflammation of the cartilage of the bridge of the nose unlike my POTSIE migraines which occur because of low blood pressure. (Or sometimes I wake up with a migraine...) It's another mystery.

  1. oh dear, that sounds incredibly painful and challenging! Have you noticed that migraine medications helping when the pain occurs? These mysteries can be so frustrating and challenging...so much trial and error to figure out what is going on. Obviously I am not a doctor, but I'm curious if seeing an ear nose and throat doctor would be helpful in this situation, especially given the dog bite you experienced. Of course, if you feel your migraine doctor (and medications) have things well-controlled then an extra doctor might not be necessary, but I'm just thinking out loud about who might be able to help you get to the bottom of the mystery. In any case, I am so sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else. Sending you gentle hugs! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
