Maybe later . .

Migraine today. First one in a long, long time.

Going home to bed.

Unknown said...: Louise Hay makes a recommendation for migraines that makes a lot of sense to me. You have to catch it before it gets full blown. The 'technique'involves doing the one thing that I can think of that you can do by yourself (preferably in a very private place) that gets your circulation and your respiration going at a very high rate and then provides an immediate and extreme release of bodily pressure.; March 4, 2008 at 6:00 PM

Comrade Kevin said...: Does Imitrex works for you?

I used to have them constantly.

So much so that I went on a med, topamax, which helps prevent them from happening in the first place.; March 5, 2008 at 3:46 PM
Brave Sir Robin said...: I haven't had one in a very, very long time. There was a period about 12 years ago, when I was getting them on average, about two to three times a week.

Then, they just disappeared.

Monday, I was given a Maxult, and it helped a lot. It didn't completely go away, but it helped a lot. A whole lot.

Thanks for the tips, I'll check into those meds.; March 5, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Petra said...: Imitrex - they were the first.

I remember when I got a shot of it for the first time (the stuff was not available in tablet form then)- I could not believe the relief. It was a major, major event in my life. A while later the tablets came and they have been my best friends.

By now there are several newer "generations" of this type of medication available. They are all good, but I stick to the good old Imitrex (never change a winning team).

I know what I am taking about - I have suffered from severe migraines since I was 12.; March 6, 2008 at 9:54 AM
