> MarieHi there. I have suffered from migraines for years. At this point I use Imitrex which works like magic to clear it up within 45 mins. The stuff is expensive but well worth looking into. I gather from clinical testing that I was one of the fortunate one's it works well on with no side-effects; others have less effective results.
For years Fiurinal was also used. Asperin with codeine is effective for those "one side of the head" massive headaches but must be used in moderation. If the frequency of migraines per month goes up to around 10 or so you should have a head scan done.
Finally, migraines are a complex subject, and they have alot to do with background stress or even allergic reactions to the environment. Try noting down events, situations, weather, whatever, to see if you can figure out a pattern to their onsets.
Best wishes,
D.
