Return of the Migraine
in [Depression]
|
From: Dawn on 30 Oct 2005 10:18 I'm obviously blocking something very wicked that I've done in the past to deserve this: on top of the depression, and now the thyroid problems, I became aware that I couldn't read properly this afternoon. The blurred vision I get before a migraine. It must be at least two years since I've had one. So I've been trying to read the Migraleve instructions and Paroxetine instructions to see if I can take both. As far as I can tell, I can. So I have. But the Migraleve are about 18 months out of date. Luckily my migraines, at least in the past, haven't been as awful as many people get, and if the Migraleve work, I avoid the headache, and just end up with slightly slurred speech for a couple of days. But who knows. I had actually planned to cook something for myself today, first time for days. But as it was eggs and bacon with lovely huge field mushrooms, I've completely gone off the idea. Do they have 'D.N.R.' forms in this country? Or maybe I could ask the surgeon to slip while he's doing my thyroid and cut my head off completely. No, silly me, I won't get an operation, they'll 'leave it to see what happens'. Sorry. I'm in a moaning mood. Dawn

No need to be sorry I Migraines are horrible I had a really bad one today, luckily I was able to get back to sleep after taking some meds and its subsided a bit. I usually find Naramig(Naratriptin) works 90% of the time, its prescription only. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon B.

From: Frog on 30 Oct 2005 12:54 Go to your GP, Dawn and ask him about Maxalt (or Rizatriptan to give them their medical name). If you're one of the lucky people they work for, they're nothing short of miraculous. I was diagnosed with migranes a few years ago and these things are wonderful for me. They knock down even a severe migrane in about an hour flat. Frog -- Age and treachery will always outdo youth and skill

I've not heard of those one's but from what I understand any of the *triptans work in a similar way > I was diagnosed with > migranes a few years ago and these things are wonderful for me.

They are expensive so some GP's (like my last) dont like prescribing them. B. |
