I had brain tumor and had migraines before and 10 years after. The acoustic neuroma I had left me with SSD, balance problems, and headaches still and occasionally even now migraines. I suffered for years till I was subscribed the drug called Sumatriptan. Luckily it works on me. If I detect migraine coming on I take pill. It usually works if not the doctor said to follow up with ALEVE. Sumatriptan don't work for everybody with migraines, so you have to try it see if it helps. Mine were pretty bad after surgery grown man lying crying in pitch dark room, no noise or light for 8 to 20 hours. Luckily today I rarely get mingraine ( probably less than 4 a year) compared to 2 or 3 month years ago. Funny thing I never had headaches till I was 42.
