I've had migraine headaches that seem to attack at the most inopportune times. I've had them all my life, starting at least at the age of five. When they properly attack, they provide the most blinding screaming torture I ever feel or hope to feel.

I've tried prescription medication to stop it. The prescription medication fails and miserably. I have a couple of things that seem to work, but part of it isn't considered conducive to good health. I don't especially care. I just want the hurt to stop.

I can relate that to what Rush must have gone through. I take my home cooked concoction regardless. If the prescription pain killers had worked, I would blissfully move heaven and earth to get my hands on them with or without a doctors blessing. I can't know this first hand, but sometimes think people that say otherwise have never experienced any real hurt.

The downside, of course, is the lack of control on the pharmacy may deduct years from your life. So, maybe I'm the lucky one, and Rush has some obstacles to overcome. I sure want him to succeed in this effort.

I have the same problem. What brings them on, I don't think I will ever figure it out. When they strike, I can barely think or focus. I have had to pull my car over several times to throw up. I don't think I could medicate them if I wanted to because my stomach has to remain empty during and for a while after they strike. Luckily, they don't strike to a full blown headache but maybe once a month or two. But, most days I have to live with that feeling that one could be coming on.

On the days when they strike the worst, I would probably take anything to make it stop.

Dr Laura is selling a OTC migraine remedy on air and claims it really works. Who knows?
