MIGRAINE MISERY
Throbbing head pain, hypersensitivity to light and sound, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting are all typical symptoms of migraine headaches that afflict more than 28 million Americans and cost employers $13 billion a year in lost productivity.  Today on House Calls, we'll talk about the latest research on migraines and methods of treatment, including drugs, devices, botox, and nutritional and lifestyle adjustments, with neurologist Neil Pugach, of Neurological Associates of Hampton Roads in Chesapeake, and researcher at Brighton Research Group, Virginia Beach.
