That sucks

 

[}

I had a bad one last night. I'm sure it came from my sinuses since it rained a lot yesterday.

 

I hate that.

Thanks It's still raining here, but my headache is pretty much gone.

 

It varies, but a lot. Usually they're not bad and I can just have a cup of tea. Other times a nap will take care of it. I've been trying to not take meds for them because I take them a lot and I don't want to develope an immunity.

 

I like Amerge. It knocks me out for several hours, but it does the trick. However, it's so strong that I can't take it more than twice a week.

 

Maxalt works pretty well for me. But it tends to make me feel dizzy, so I don't like to take it unless I can go straight to bed. Unfortunately, I get sinus headaches from changing weather and then that will sometimes trigger a migraine. And then there's the monthly migraine as well.

 

I get weather-change headaches too (thus mine over the last couple weeks). I've never heard of Maxalt, though.

 

It's similar to Imitrex (which is imitriptan, I think). Maxalt is rizatriptan. It melts on your tongue, so it gets into your system faster. They've given it a minty taste, but it does have a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

But when you feel like you want to cut your head off, taste really doesn't matter.

 

I can handle the taste better then pulling my brain out through my nose with a coat hanger. And that's want I want to do most of the time, hoping it would stop the pain???? I don't do it because I know it wouldn't help.

Don't think I've tried Amerge, need to look into that. I'm out of my meds, can't find a Dr in my new insurance plan that is any good. So I'm hoping someone will refill my old perscripts

Yesterday was bad, today not as bad, but when Aunt Flo comes along as well..... It just makes things worse.

Hope your all feeling better. I don't know much about allergies either (thank the maker) but know they can be teh suck too.

Have a great day everyone

 

Ah, I've had Imitrex. It doesn't work for me

I hope you can find one! Amerge is really good and really strong, but it can knock you out for hours.

 

Connie - wisdom tooth-induced head? Are you getting them removed?

 

Oh. My. Goodness.

I've found it.

The Thread.



I have migranes every day, all the time, when I wake up, when I go to bed, when I read in a dark room, when I read in a well-lit room. I have one right now, and I'll have one tomorrow. Migranes dictate my existance. I am their slave. They are my master. We are forever bound by eternal chains of pain and suffering.

 

Oh no!! Have you tried taking fifteen or so minutes and sitting down and just breathing and trying to relax? Probably won't help the migraine, but if you feel a stress headche starting to build, that might help

QGR, wow!! Have you seen a neurologist or anything?
