I have been a migrain sufferer for 7 years now. It is a horrible thing to go through!! I have between 23-29 migrains per month so I am in bed most of the time. I have done many things to try to get rid of them...botox, IV pushes in the hospital for 4 days and now my doctor wants to try medical marijauna. I am totally against drugs so I doubt very much I will try that!! I am on preventatives as well as migrain medicines and nothing seems to help. They say that I have to much stress in my life..how do you get rid of stress?? So if you are going through some hard times in your life or if something is really bothering you...maybe that could be it?? I wish you luck because I know how bad these migrains are   Don't get me wrong, cause I am not into pot or anything. But curious if you might consider your opinion from a different angle. See, I'm not even big on the scripts you take, and if I had pain as bad and as frequently as you do might actually consider medical mj before most of the others if it were a legal option and I would not be out driving anyway. I'm curious what make the separation for you between the two types of drugs? Hey No1sLove, I guess I am totally against drugs because I had a nephew who died in 04 from a drug overdose. So, how can I sit here and preach to my children about using drugs and then turn around and do them myself? The separation between the two types of drugs are very easy actually. I am not on any type of narcotics at all..I am on topamax and maxalt. It does not effect me to the point to where I can not function. Now I do have to admit, when I am so sick and throwing up for days and I just can't take it anymore...I do go in and get a shot. That will actually knock me out BUT I never drive and I always have someone watch my son when I do this. I don't do this very often and I only do this when I can't handle the pain anymore. I have done lots of studies on the M.M. and they say it helps with the migrains..I don't judge anyone for the choice that they make. I just don't think it can be a good choice for me! I actually never had this many migrains until I had colon cancer in 04, then my migrains went crazy!! |

There are so many reasons for people feeling how they do about drugs and each one is valid in their own opinion in my eyes. I was just curious. Thanks for the reply. I hope your migraines get better. That's horrible to have them so often.

i get cluster headaches, very painful. i have pizitofen as a preventive and imigran and indometacin for flare ups, and i have demerol and df118 as well for another reason and those help to.
out of all of them imigran, and indometacin are the best for when the preventive doesnt work. |

I have suffered with them since I was 2. Its different for everyone but for me I truly think the Excedrin Migraine and protein help mine ease up much quicker. I usually try to eat a peanut butter sandwich for the protein. Something light but not something to make me any more queasy.
