Migraines - Novelish

Go to your Dr an ask for imitrex nasal spray .its prescripition migrane medicine.Its waht i take for migraines .

 

Oh 98 sorry to hear that.
Like Steve R said Imitrex spray.
It will work faster than its pill form since it your sinuses are like a gateway.

I had migraines up until 2003 after going the whole route with neurologists, scans, blood work. Some were so bad, I had to go to the hospital for an shot that helped immediately but still took a lot out of me.

Nothing turned up or accounted for them so my neurologist suggested keeping a log to see a pattern & changing my diet. Begrudingly I avoided foods that trigger migraines, adopted some that help prevent it & stopped consuming any alcohol and have been migraine free without medicine since 2004.

I wish you the best in figuring this out & don't wish them on anyone, crazy painful.

 

Sounds like you are on the right track trying in figuring out the triggers & a pattern.
I hope the doctors/blood work sheds some light for you. No pun intended.

 

Instant feelin good.I use it for my cluster migraines.

 

dood sorry to hear that. my aunt has constant migraine and thats what she used is that spray.
maybe the chicken tonight will cure that....if no a good shot of old grandad will.

 

Although I can't speak for him.....My husband has had migraines ever since he was a baby. The triggers vary. MSG's,chocolate and the usual migraine triggers - although sometimes they don't trigger one (he can't go without certain foods even though there's that potential). I've also noticed, if he doesn't eat regularly...he gets 'em also. They can vary from mild to massive. Luckily, the massive ones (throwing up,etc) are rare.

He takes Phurenol (spelling?) and Immitrex for the most part. For the minor ones - Excedrin.

I keep a steady supply of all 3 of those in my purse for those times he needs something - better to catch it early before it escalates.

 

I've had migraines my whole life. I've learned most of the triggers. Lack of sleep, not having coffee as soon as I wake up and alchohol are the top ones. I have noticed that as I get older they are getting less severe. I get a perscription for Oxycodone that works for me if they get to bad. The only thing that really works sometimes is just to go to sleep in a dark room. Migraines just plain suck.

 

im gonna let u in a little secret... its called "Trigger Point Therapy"

i do this and i help get rid of H/As & migraines

find a local Massage Therapist, interview them over the phone, make sure they know how to do this modality and BAM! they will be gone

and u can also benefit from gettin massages in helpin u sleep better.

i would suggest u come down here and get one from me, but im sure thats a little out of yur way.

but if yur H/As are really bad & cant seem to find any alternative.... im sure u can figure out how to get here

 

i know when i have back problems the Ciro takes care of it but i have to go see a masseuse right after or it all goes back out.
damn now i just came down with a serious headache think you could fly here?

 

we are accepting the term "Massage Therapist" now

fly there? hmmm.... that'd be a hefty fee just to come massage u

 

me and ben can split the cost

 

well, with this new job, im gonna be traveling thru arkansas, louisiana, missouri & mississippi... so unless yur gonna be in the same area i am when i travel, u might wanna split the cost
