Yes!!
The day after the migraine breaks is almost as bad as the migraine itself.
I take Aleve and sometimes I even need to take lorazepam. I also recently found that liquid IV helps.
Constant headaches migraines, mostly vestibular, off steady walking, just got medicare. My nero and regular Dr suggest specialist. I've been on wait list, going near Milwaukee Oct 18. almost 1 hour away. LMK any help or suggestions. Don't want sympathy, glad to be alive, that i know. But i can't find anyone that had anything like this, not typical left or right stroke.
Thanks
Keep me posted. How are you feeling and coping ?
This is a health study to see how many of us are so depressed and anxious that our constant thoughts are wishing we weren't alive any longer.

Thank you for responding.

Also, each time I take an Imetrex I have to chase it with two Tylenol or Advil.

Always have food in your stomach is a good start. Famotidine is a stomach acid controller you might have to take with it. I take Omeprazole every day to protect my stomach from Aleve.
3 days in bed and not any better. Not sure what to do.
I hope you do as well! Both of my parents had terrible migraines. My Dad had cluster type while my Mom had Chronic Migraine. I have tried B-2 and it didn't do much but upset my stomach. I also have… read more
