Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
First of all, I want to say that an MRI was a good idea and I'm sorry to hear your doctor ripped up the referral slip. I think you should try again to get an MRI.
Causes of migraines can include but are not limited to:
--eye strain -- sometimes a person can need glass or have a wrong prescription for their eyes causing eye strain. This, coupled with hours of computer work, and/or reading without proper glasses can cause headaches/migraines.
--back problems -- Though it may not be the only cause, it can be a contributing factor
-- allergies -- there is a possibility of having unknown allergies perhaps to food, animals, or plants. Common food culprits include: chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, and dairy.
-- hormonal imbalances -- premenstrual migraines usually happen right before your period when the estrogen levels drop. However if you have irregular hormonal imbalances caused by a thyroid problem, IUD etc the migraines could be at any time, not just before your period.
-- concussions -- the head injuries you've received can be contributing greatly to your migraines
-- stress/anxiety -- these are also huge perpetuating causes
I suggest you start exploring the possible causes of your migraines with a doctor you can trust.
Causes of thin, nasal dripping range from seeing a bright light to spinal fluid leak. The cause it difficult to track. However, since yours is coupled with a migraines, and after a head injury (which you have experienced), all these factors may be connected and a good doctor will be able to help you connect the dots.
