Dignosed several months ago. Dr gave me Imtrex to take. Lovely medical card says I can only get 9 pills a month. So thank for for telling my head how often it can hurt, please tell it never!
Woke up with it this morning and can't get rid of it. Meds aren't helping....

Any mircale idea's you've found? Any 'secret' cures?

Hope everyones feeling good today.

I had to change from Imitrex to Zomig zmt. It's a quick dissolving on the tongue pill. The sooner I attack any hint of migraine the easier it is to treat. Yes, my scripts are limited too...but I get a new one from MD asap and the pharmacist talks them into it I guess? It's tough for them to go against a new script from the MD.

I have never understood how putting a limit on migraine meds helps anything. OH that's right...insurance companies exist to limit spending, not limit suffering.

The only thing that helps with mine is sunglasses, earplugs, and caffeine. I avoid going to the doc whenever possible so that's all I have tried. Well...percoset works somewhat but it makes me hypomanic. Stopping my cycles with birth control pills helped too, but made me depressed and unable to enjoy "marital relations". I didn't realize that's how they are supposed to work....

I hope it goes away soon.

I hate them too and people just treat you like you have a regular headache.
Imitrex and all those types never worked and a few made it worse.
The combo that works best for me is darvon and fiorinal. i noticed when i started depakote for hypomania the frequency dropped dramatically!
good luck,

Hiya bearchic

Have you worked out whats causing the migraines?
I was having heaps of them until I found out what was triggering them. For me it is acidic food. So real labels carefully on food. Oranges, Lemons, Tomatoes, Grapefruits etc are all very high in Acids. Once I stopped eating them (And i love oranges etc) the migraines dropped right off.

Also when you are stressed try visiting a therapist who can reduce the tension along your neck. EG Osteopath, Physiopath... or get a Massage.
Or maybe even see and endocrinologist as your headaches may be linked to hormones.

Hope this helps.
