I found that Ibuprofen before the attack gets going in earnest is the best bet but it has stopped a major one going full bore, too. Luckily, I haven’t had any in years, they were crippling when they happened though.
Ergotamine tartrate which you need to get from a Doctor works as well if you use it at the first sign of one coming on. A friend’s mom got them so bad that that didn’t help most of the time. I wonder how this device would work on her?
I did the Ergotamine deal. Never really seemed to help. Thank goodness I’ve outgrown them. All kinds of problems when, on vacation, my Dad and I both were incapacitated. My 16 year old Sister had to drive. That was as worrying as the headaches!
