Close Migraine Headaches
Treatments
- Amerge Not Working
- Was on this medication about 6 year ago and it just did nothing for me. Another person I know took one tab daily and it worked well for her.
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- I combine 2 Advil with my Imetrix meds and it works well
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I had blood tests done for food allergies and found I was allergic to gluten. Went on gluten free diet for 6 months - no real results. I will try yeast free diet at start of new year - 1/09
- Excedrin Working / Worked
- It may work well, but another rebound medication. I was taking 6 - 8 tabs a day. Not a good med. - but sometimes you have to do what you have to do function! I use this when I am running low on my Imetrix meds.
- Fiorinol Not Working
- Watch out! This drug is a big rebound headache drug! I was up to taking 50 a month - not a good thing!
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- Works great! I use it as an abortive combined with 2 advil.

- I have tried but did not work. This also gave me a lot of gas and diarrhea

Treatments
- Brace Working / Worked
- Wore a brace or 21/2 years in high school. Not the best time to wear something like that. It did not work so I went one to have surgery
- Harrington Rods Working / Worked
- My rod goes from T4-L4. I had my surgery in 1979 and have no problems so far. After reading this site and doing some research I think I am showing signs of "flat back" syndrome. My lower, mostly muscular I think, gives me problems when I use that part of my body. I wonder if it takes a lot of the pressure that the rest of my back does not because it is fused together.
