To Deanna re migraines

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry you have had five straight days of those monsters! I

started getting migraines when I was pregnant with my first child and

still get them right before my period starts - diagnosed as hormonal

migraines. I have only had one with an aura. That happenened soon

after I came home from the hospital last year when they removed most

of my pancreas and I had become diabetic. I had never had an aura

before and panicked thinking that I had diabetic retinopathy or

something horrible like that. About 10 minutes later the migraine hit

and I knew what was going on. Anyway, I don't take a prescription yet

for mine - Excedrin seems to help me. My doctor wanted to put me on

Imitrex, but I am already on seven prescriptions a month and even

with insurance, that's an extra $300 a month that I am already taking

away from providing for my family. As long as Excedrin works for me,

I'll keep taking it. I wish I knew what to say to help. I hope it

goes away quickly and that you are feeling good again soon.

Take care,
