Do you have access to one? I'm guessing if you did, you would say so. I believe, as said above, that you need to be treated separately by neurology and, potentially, psychiatry. In my case, there is a… read more

I can't believe how much better I feel now that the temperature has dropped. There also does not seem to be the big fluctuations in the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The thing that is still messing with my head is precipitation. I know the day before it's going to rain, then it rains and then it takes a day to feel better. That's three days out of my life.

Disrupting sleep, so a lack of good sleep!! I thought it was teeth clenching, so I bought a good night-time mouth guard to use. Kind of helped, maybe 60%. Kind of hit or miss relief. Two days ago at my Neurologist's appt. for my regular Botox treatment, we discussed my issues. The Dr. prescribed a 10mg… read more
The quantity limitations of migraine meds stresses me out!
I was just prescribed Sumatriptans, but took and Excedrin Migraine 6 hrs ago. Is it safe to take the sumatriptans? The Excedrin Migraine did not work!
Thank you!
