Welp, it's time for me to go to my doctor and get some recommendations for specialists and/or tests.

1. To see if there's a visible or obvious reason why the vertebrae at the base of my skull slide slightly out of alignment so damn often. Because wheee, that's one of the migraine triggers, I know that much.


2. To see if there's some sort of test that can be done to determine the cause of the sinus migraines, because we're in the season where they ramp up dramatically. Is there some sort of plant or spore that's present during the summer that I'm allergic to? Is it some sort of weird seasonal pervasive barometric issue?
   (Weirdly, for all that I hate the burning orb, the sun and heat don't really cause me problems when I'm in California, so I suspect it's something environmental.)

One of the massage therapists at the spa is good at scalp and facial massage. And by good, I mean a miracle worker who I think presses my sinuses back into place, and make the sinus migraine retreat. But flinging myself into her merciful hands every week seems a bit much.

... at least I'm not in pain now? I've got the fuzzy brain and incoherency of a post-migraine hangover, but I don't want to drill holes in my face anymore.

I hope you get some images to see what is going on and get a treatment plan.

Living in the Willamette valley with sinus pressure is my problem. CA or going to the Oregon coast equals sinus pressure relief.

For me, it's the changes in the weather rather than the weather itself. I have a few allergies, (cottonwood trees and scotch broom can go DIAF), but what completely does me in are the days of weather change, like earlier this week when we went from OMG hot, to having to turn the heat back on the next morning. Lost one entire day to that.
