Have you seen a doctor? There are new meds now that control migraines
effectively. My granddaughter takes them and they have helped a lot. I
had migraines from the time I was 10 years old. They left when I was in
my 50s. Purrs that you will find something to give you relief. MLB

Yes, I went on Monday. I think I may be seeing the night. Last night was
rough, but I took what seems an exhorbitant amount of medication (but what
was recommended on the bottles.) and right now I am tentatively headache
free. However guilty I feel, I believe I am calling in because it seems
everyhing gets worse under florescent lights and I just think I could use a
pain free day away from them to make sure. I feel like it's a big green Ogre
hiding behind a thin little tree waiting to pounce. i will be more confident
if it is still gone later today and tomorrow.

Karen,

I suggest that you go to a doctor in the morning. I used to get migraines
regularly, especially if I did not take medication at the very first signs
(fortunately, that is one thing that often disappears as we get older -- and
mine did). When it would get as bad as you described, I sometimes had to go
to a doctor for an injection because none of the prescriptions I had would
work at that time. I think my doctor used an injection of Torodol (also
available by prescription, but only the injection seemed to work if the
headache had already lasted for many days).

Thanks Mary. I went Monday. I haven't ever had to have the shot, although
most people I know with them have. I think maybe just maybe I've got killed.
Cross your fingers!

I am sorry, Karen; it sounds awful. Please know 5 kitties are sending purrs
for your poor head. I don't know if a muscle relaxant would do any good or
if you've tried that -- gentle hugs,
Christine

Karen,
I understand how you feel, they hurt like hell,
The only thing that helps mine is a shot of demerol
I would suggest that you see your doctor there really have
been alot of new breakthroughs with medications.
Quite purrs from my crew that you feel better fast.

Lots of anti-migraine purrs going your way. One thing I've discovered
works for me sometimes better than the Rx stuff is plain-old Excedrin.
My doctor gave me some samples of Imitrex to try, but I haven't had a
chance to, thank goodness.

I have vicodin too, but in my case it just numbs the pain, which I guess
it's good enough. The problem I have with it is that it gives me insomnia!

Oh yea, I forgot. I take atenolol every day as a preventative for
migraines. You might want to talk to your doctor about it. I'd rather
take a small pill every morning than to deal with a migraine.

Sadly atenolol doesn't work for everyone. Great if you've got high blood
pressure, but if you haven't, take atenolol and you can have problems, as
it's a high blood pressure medication ( I can faint if given atenolol!).
It's the same with the usual abortives & preventatives - there's so many
causes of migraine that what works for one person doesn't for another.

Cheers, helen s

Powerful purrs, and tell those kitties to take good care of you.
