Yikes....

Do you take anything for migraines? I take Midrin...it was the only thing I tried that actually works.

What I really hate about migraines is that the pain is so bad I can’t even sleep. Once it starts, I’m forced to suffer through it. I take my medicine with me everywhere.

I used to take Imitrex, but found out it could cause stokes. Since I had three TIAs in my late 30’s, I decided the risk was too great.

But with Imitrex, I almost wished I WOULD get a migraine, just so I could take the Imitrex!

Now, I just have to deal with it as best I can. If it’s really bad, I’ll lie down in the dark with a cold compress on my right eye and wait for the pain to leave.

I don’t know if I have one headache that lasts a week, or seven headaches of a day each.
