Hello and I am new, am tying to get more information about basilar migranes, last year I could not find much information, but this year there seem to alot more information.

I have basilar migranes which are rare and they start at the stem of base of neck and travel to the top of my head and to the sides. At first I see blue lights/yellow lights (auro). When it is cold I have vertigo really bad and when it is windy a cervical collar is alot of relief but who want to walk around with a cervical collar all the time. I was put on pamelor at first and then topomax. I had alot of side effects with topomax and had to get off so my doctor started lyrica which causes alot of swelling and I was not on it long.

I am scheduled to go back to the neurologist and my PCP put me on Midran (generic) instead of the floricet which stop the headaches after they started. I was told I needed to be on a preventative so they put me pack on the pamelor. When it get cold out side my face and head get so tight I can't go outside. When it is humid I have the same problem so I have spent too much time inside.

Any information about basilar and treatment medications will be appreciated.
