Vera, I'm so sorry you are suffering from these. My mom & sister both have chronic migraines and it's horrible. They both use Immitrex and it works wonderfully. But I do hope you can find a reason why you are getting them so often. Sending good thoughts your way.

So sorry to hear you get them - I also suffer from them - have been to the ER more times than can count. Agree that Immitrix works great. I use the injection kind because I get physically ill but the pill form works as well. Other things that work - I take Topamax daily. Another good fix is Mirganal (nasal spray). Works well. Good luck!!! they are just horrible and can really affect your life:(

Oh poor Vera, I had migraines for years as a teenager but only get them once in a blue moon now. I feel for you. Hope you find a treatment soon.

Vera,
There are so many new medicines for Migraines. My heart goes out to you. My husband has suffered withe cluster headaches take it up a few notches from what you feel. The reinters used to detatch from his eyes. the imitrix shots only worked for a bit. We finally found a Dr. in the city who specialized in these type of headaches. they tasted like pepermint i can't remember the name I will try to find out for you. They say what you eat ( i don't believe that after keeping a journal I noticed that when we had a big change in our weather he had them more. So much for Global warning. Godd luck Honey call if you need me

I know everyone has their own triggers for migraines, but I though I would share the story of my own migraine struggle. I had migraines for years and years, was on Topomax and Imitrex which sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. I went on the migraine diet which got rid of caffeine, lots of sugars, some fruits, etc. to no avail, so I thought it was not food/drink induced. I decided to go on an organic diet, which included no more diet soda, and MAGIC, my migraines disappeared. When I looked at some journal articles about aspartame (I am a scientist and have access to most journals) there were TONS of articles about how aspartame can cause migraines; possibly even causing up to 10% of migraines in the population. I never put it together because a.) I didn't know aspartame could cause migraines and b.) I didn't get a migraine right after I drank the soda. It was just a slow build up in my body of chemicals. I hope that this helps and maybe trying an all natural diet would help you too? Good luck in your search, I hope you can find out what is wrong without medicating yourself unnecessarily.

Oops...

never had a migraine but i've heard they are horrible. hope they go away soon.
