Ann, I am so very sorry that you suffer so. I've only had a couple of migranes in my life, but WOWSIE! My hubby suffers from vision migranes and templar (sp) headaches.
As far as OTC meds we found that a good ole arthritus formula BC powder (in the green box) worked better than anything. Ron went to a neurologist who prescribed a very mild blood pressure med and an even milder anti-depressent (I don't have the names of the drugs handy). Along with the meds, he avoids chocolate and limits caffeine.
Have you tried using the pressure points at the base of the neck? It really helps.
I hope that all who suffer from migranes can find their own personal magic to end this dreadful malady. |
