Just yesterday I started experiencing a new symptom of when I move my eyes side to side I get a sharp shooting pain toward the front of my head.
O wow! I did not read your brain bleed issue when I posted the above. Hope you are getting the proper attention for this. Prayers for you!

Cigarette Smoking And Migraine
Hi all
Everything I have read says that cigarette smoking is bad for migraineurs. However, I remember the years that I smoked - and admittedly, I was a “light” smoker - far less than a pack a day - but the thing is, I had LESS migraines during that time. And it is odd considering that some studies show that smoking can cause more migraines. The studies, however, seem small and not entirely conclusive. Since nicotine constructs blood vessels, this is considered bad for migraine. But a doctor once… read more

Does Anyone Know Of Migraine Meds That Can Be Taken With SSRIs?
Does anyone know of migraine meds that can be taken with SSRIs? I am beginning treatment for OCD and the standard is an SSRI. Their attitude is like you just have to live with it. I have had migraines since the age of three. One of the reasons I stopped taking SSRIs was because it aggravated them. It is like a choice between having OCD and having migraines. I cannot take tricyclics.
Thank you so much. God bless you also.
