No advice...other than to ask if you've ever tried Axert? It's the only med that can touch my migranes. Praying that they find out what is wrong and that it is very treatable.

Do you know if it is a triptan or an abortive?? I can't have any triptans at all because I have had two strokes already. It makes it more difficult to deal sometimes!!

Just looked it up it is a triptan so that counts that out for me. Thank you though for the thought!!

I know how you feel one, from the migraines and two, from tests and not knowing what is causing something. The problem with migraines is they can just be, for no real reason. I have taken several meds for migraines too. The only one that really helped was Topamax. But, as you know the Topamax has some tough side effects. Excedrin Migraine helps some.
Axert is a triptan. It did not work for me at all, neither did Imitrex. I am allergic to naprosin so I dont take any of those drugs.
I was also on heart meds for them, which was almost the same as taking an aspirin a day.
Some antidepressants help with migraines too.
Of note, migraines can be related to hormonal fluctuations. I had a few last week and one was terrible.
It stinks to have to go through that and everything else. I completely understand and you are not in it alone. You will get through it one day at a time. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm so sorry that you're going through all this without DH. Migraine's are awful. I find that Zomig helps me, but I don't know what kind of drug it is...

I also suffer from migrains and they really suck. I have taken relpax for mine and it worked very well not sure if it's tiptan or abortive but maybe it will help!!!!

So sorry you have to deal with those nasty migraines. I am in bed with a bad one right now. Take care sweetie!

You ladies have been such a help!! It is so nice when you can just ask for advice and the sister hood rises!! I can't thank you enough and I will check on Zomig but I have tried the other stuff and they are all triptans so I can't have them without setting myself up for a stroke!!(((Hugs))) to all of you. I love you ladies so much and you have made me so strong to get through this!!

Have you tried Midrin? I believe that it is an abortive. I used this in high school. I used to get really bad migraines and as soon as I would start seeing the spots or feel it coning on I would take a midrin and it would kick it out before it could get started.

i have migraines too. Mine have progressively gotten worse and I have to see a neurologist for help. Mine they don't know why I get them, but my mom got them too. She is in early stages of menopause and she told me that the migraines have become less not more for her. So I hope that is some good news for us, I hope!

I use Imitrex, Fiorcet, Ultram and Hydrocodone. (not all at once LOL). My one that helps me most of the time is the Imitrex, if I take it soon enough. But it makes me feel super drugged out and tired so I have to sleep. Most of the time mine are stress induced. I do have anxiety. But right now I am off those meds (Ativan) cuz of TTC.

That is one thing that is very hard for being pregnant. Just regular tylenol does not fight a migraine like what we get. It doesnt even really help.

I dont kow if you can relate, but after awhile of taking Advil or Tylenol, it gets like you are immune. Advil does absolutely nothing for me. Two tylenol don't cut it either.

Sorry about your hubby fighting the fires. Hopefully he can come home soon!

Take care.

I'm a headache/migraine suffer too! Sorry, I can't offer any real advice, but all I do is breakdown and cry when I feel overwhelmed with crap.

SO SORRY MY DEAR FRIEND. I HOPE THEY FIND THE CAUSE AND FIX IT FOR YA . I HATE IT WHEN YOU ARE HURTING. I KNOW THE STRESS DOESNT HELP ONE BIT EITHER . IM PRAYING FOR YOU GIRL AND IM ALWAYS HERE WHEN YOU NEED ME .
