- even though I had a migraine.We changed insurance as of April 1 (not our choice). With the last insurer, I had to make three appeals in order to get more than 4 Relpax pills a month. My doctor prescribed 18. After making a complaint to the Arizona...
- I had my estradiol checked in December and found that it was 44. My doctor told me that most women have trouble getting it to 20. She suggested that I cut my hormone medication dosage down by 1/2. In January I had 19 migraines by January 26 and was...
- Has anyone ever used one of these?http://www.icewraps.net/cranial-cap-for-migraines-by-elasto-gel.htmlThe cheapest I can find one is $39. I am wondering if it is possible to get a prescription for one.
- I often wake up at 3am with the start of a migraine. What wakes me is that I get very warm. This has happened 5 times so far this month. There has to be something to this. Is it a lack of sugar or hormone levels or what???
- Can anyone who has been to a pain clinic explain the difference between going there vs. seeing your usual neurologist?My neurologist is a migraine specialist and he gets migraines himself. But he just keeps wanting to put me on prophylactic...
