I too suffer from migraines.
Or should I say I used to.
Maxalt was my drug....An RX had nine tabs in it and I would use all nine in less then 2 months.
Although my migraines did not get as sever has many others experience...but that little beast would take over and could control my day until the meds kicked in....
I used to feel like a Maxalt junkie, I could not go ANYwhere unless if I had my MAxalt with me. Some in my purse, a few stored at work. I even had one packet din my car....I did not ever want to be caught with a migraine and not have the magic pill to take it away.
This went on for over 10 years.....
Then I discovered accupunture! OMG! did it change things for me.
After I went the first time...a 800 mg of Mortin would get rid of my headach.....this was not the case before.
The accupunturist I have seen just wants me to go in a seris of 3 appointments all being two weeks apart....that's it and I'm good for a year plus.
Naturally he says come back anytime I have a headach...
But because this works so well for me, I only see him once a year ( well the three appointments)
I have been doing this for only three years now, but you know what....no more headachs.
My suggesstion....if you are a Migraine Sufferer
Try accupunture.
Labmom- I am so glad you are better now and I hope you the best.
And go ahead and groan anytime you want....You have rights! (and groaning in pain is one of them
)
