OT Migraine Purrs

I'm absolutely desparate. I am going on day 10 of a sinus/migraine/which led
to tension and back to migraine cycle. I am taking what seems like four
billion drugs that don't seem to be helping. I just took one I used to take
a long time ago and while you are supposed to take it at the onset of the
headache, well....there is no onset because it has just been a long
continous one. I just want to feel OK again. I've never had anything go on
this long and I am really miserable now. So any kitty migraine go away purrs
you could send dwould be mightily appreciated. I can't even read clear
through the group right now. I'm taking three cats and going to bed.

Betty and I are sending purrs for your migraines to go away and for
you to feel well real soon.

Argh! I empathize, as a person who's dealt with migraines. Purrs and
purr-ayers on the way at once!

Karen, I feel for ya, hon. I have them - getting worse and worse each
year. The only thing that kills them for me are Vicodin - none of the
migraine meds work.

Many hugs and gentle purrs,

Have you seen a doctor? There are new meds now that control migraines
effectively. My granddaughter takes them and they have helped a lot. I
had migraines from the time I was 10 years old. They left when I was in
my 50s. Purrs that you will find something to give you relief. MLB

Karen,

I suggest that you go to a doctor in the morning. I used to get migraines
regularly, especially if I did not take medication at the very first signs
(fortunately, that is one thing that often disappears as we get older -- and
mine did). When it would get as bad as you described, I sometimes had to go
to a doctor for an injection because none of the prescriptions I had would
work at that time. I think my doctor used an injection of Torodol (also
available by prescription, but only the injection seemed to work if the
headache had already lasted for many days).

Poor Karen. :-( We're sending quiet, soothing anti-migraine purrs
your way, hoping you feel better by morning.

Sorry to hear this Karen. As a fellow migraine sufferer I do understand the
h*ll that is a long migraine. Migraines are not simple headaches, they are
far worse. I've had broken bones and been through childbirth and migraines
are *worse*

What works for me is a daily magnesium supplement - it controls my migraines
well. Alas, migraines are fickle beasts & what works well for one person
doesn't always work for another :-(

Hoping you get better soon, helen s
