Okay, I'm back/been migraining

[Guest guest]

but not tonight. Been suffering from a migraine and then today I felt like

I'd been on a bender without the " pleasure " . No headache, but shakey hands,

neck muscles were sore and stomach felt as though there was a grinder in

there... and NO WONDER!

 

Last night before I went to bed, I popped some more pills, finally read the

lable... SHEESH! It' said, " take no more than two in a 24 hour period " , This

was right after I sucked down pill number TWELVE in a fourteen hour

period... needless to say, I've been paying for it today. Thank the Gods the

migraine left about 7 this morning, I don't think I could do that again.

 

Saw the quack yesterday, she's prescribed me some migraine pills, not OTC,

but something else... I can take SIX of these in a day... one at a time.

Knowing me, if they get bad enough, I'll prolly double it. I'll be picking

them up tomorrow... first time in YeaRS that I'll actually pick up something

that's been prescribed for me.

 

If you've had a migraine before, you KNOW you'll do just about anything to

try and ease the pain. I once had a friend who had morphine due to

excruciating back pain. These weren't polite little morphine pills, these

were heavy duty stuff... she offered and I took one.... 24 hours later I

went through withdrawl (No I'm NOT kidding, who'd a thunk, withdrawls from

one stupid little pill!).... Sweats, shakes, nausea, the whole kit and

kaboodle. And the worse part? Didn't even TOUCH the dang head pain.

 

Same with Vicodin... doesn't touch migraines... but the good thing is...

put's me to sleep. Which in and of itself is a blessing.

 

At any rate, I'm hoping these new things will do the trick... starts with an

M.... Lemme google, brb.... There it is, Maxalt. Know NOTHING about it, I

suppose I should go and do some reading.

 

Anywho, there's several folk who have written me and I haven't answered...

truth to tell, there's really only 2 folk I wrote to and I owe one of them a

reply... tomorrow. ;-) I just haven't been up to it.

 

Prepare yourself for a slew of business notes including a revisit to the ole

shopping cart subject.... Nite all

Feel better Kathleen,

 

My mom used to suffer migraines, but acupuncture really helped her and

it hasn't been a problem for her for a long time, thankfully. I hope you

can find something that works for you!

 

Hey, look for a message I sent you about some chandler work ... you

might have missed it while you were down with the throbbing head!

 

*Hugs*

Hi Kathleen,

I've been a migraine sufferer for 35= years, Thanks Dad for gifting

to me. Anyway, had a 14 day, count that..migraine starting on

christmas day 06. On day 10 I finally cakled my doc and said help.

He had a cow, sent me for loads of tests, he was sure I had a bleed.

3 grand later, oh it's a weird migraine. I went to a neurologist

(Now I am a nurse, ED medicine for 30+ years), The neurologist

listend to my story of sinus HA and Tension HA and occasional

migraines. He said they were all migraines called them Cascade

type. Anyway he wanted me to start taking something to prevent them,

(Also said all the motrin/tylenol I was taking was giving me rebound

HA). I balked at the Rx meds he offered. I don't tolerate, Maxalt

or any of the anti depressants that are offered for Migraine

control. He had recently been to a conference regarding " Natural

management " of same. He and I have been evaluating a B2/Magnesium

protocol. I have not had any kind of HA since week 5 of the

protocol. Now for my official disclaimer....Talk to your Doc before

trying this!

Magnesium 400mg per day x 1 week then 800mg per day, Riboflavin 200mg

2 times a day.

I use B100 which has alot of the B's at 100mg, (Hard to find B2 by

itself, I take 2 B100's 2 x a day without ill effect).

I will admit the first few weeks of nothing, no motrin no tylenol, no

nothing (Especially since I have traumatic arthritis) were difficult,

but I have to say, for me it has worked like a charm! I take minimal

motrin for arthritis, and use my aches and pains oil first to help

manage that problem.

Hope this helps, it has made a world of difference for me...my kids

make sure I take the supplements every day, cause when mom ain't

happy nobodies happy.

I feel your pain Kathleen. Regarding the narcotics. I caution all

of my patients that even a few days on them, will cause withdrawal,

rebound HA, nausea, dizziness, sweats etc. Take them only when

absolutely necessary, and stop as quickly as you can. I always

recommend that folks take motrin/tylenol a few hours after the

narcotic, to potentiate/extend the effect, thus reducing their need

for more narcotics. Old ED trick to reduce narcotic use.
