Hi all
Am new to migraines. Am 42 years old and 3 months ago had first one. I thought I had heart attack. But things didn’t add up cause I didn’t had chest pain nor arm pain. Just slurred speech
Luckily I had morphine left over from kidney stone I had month before migraine attack. But morphine didn’t work. Had to take Advil and Tylenol too. Than I fall a sleep and when I woke up I was just tired but head was fine.
I went to fam doc for something else and at the end I mentioned headache and… read more

What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?

I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work).

My blood pressure is slightly elevated, but not in danger zone. I have been losing weight intentionally...packed some on during covid, but not in too bad of a shape. They seem to think they are rebounds...but everything rebounds your body, including anything with caffeine, sugar, and much more… read more

The advertisements say that they are cool to the head, and I know that is a good thing for us. I don't know if they are cool enough to reduce head pain. They talk more about neck pain, because you can adjust the little things inside the pillow, and take out some of the stuffing for a looser, softer effect.

They are so expensive; I wanted to see what kind of feedback I could get here.

I'm looking at PineTales.com, because they are in Arizona and completely American-made. I don't want to buy… read more

My migraines are triggered almost 80% by barometric changes. So, I read the book and I did all that the doctor suggested. I stop drinking coffee 100%. And changed my diet.
But since the weather is something that you can’t control. His method is not help me much.
Just want to know any comments.
Thank you.
