Does Anyone Have To Take Imetrex On A Daily Basis?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am to the point that I am having to take Imetrex daily just to function. I have tried to go without it but the most I can go is three days before I have to finally give in and take it. I am concerned as to what it may be doing to my heart. I take the "Reddy" brand through CVS which does not seem to work as well as the name brand. Also, each time I take an Imetrex I have to chase it with two Tylenol or Advil.

Foods, Milk And Corn Give Me A Migraine.These Ingredients Are In Many Drugs.Can We Get Companies To Stop Using Them As Inactive Ingredient?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve suffered from migraines for 60 years. They last for weeks. I’ve found through elimination diets many foods that get me sick. Surely I’m not the only person to suffer from foods. Why isn’t there more concentration on eliminating many foods. Mainly, stop putting inactive ingredients (fillers) of corn starch and lactose in mds.
