Thank you, everyone. :> My migraine did subside before I had to leave for the airport — the only good thing about my migraines is that they are generally pretty short-lived (2-4 hours) … and they are pretty infrequent (3-4 a year). This one just had really bad timing. :> My doctor has tried out some various drugs on me, but so far all the drugs just seem to make me sick.

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Alameda right now. I need to leave for the airport in about n hour. But in the meantime I thought I’d try to catch up with all the comments.

Ouch, my sympathies >.< I get 3-4 migraines a year, can’t imagine the above poster’s being weekly. When I wake up with them I’m always so groggy and disoriented and unable to piece together why I’m in such excruciating pain, guess I sleep through the aura when it happens. Rizatriptan is my drug of choice — hope you’re feeling better!

NOT a doctor, but I have seen/heard of people that have migraines get prescribed “medical” oxygen (o/2 tank) .. a blast of “medically”-”prescribed” (hint, hint) 0/2 from your doctor made rid your problem within minutes.

I take Butalbital for my migraines, which sometimes get so bad that I go blind in one eye. I get them BAD when I get them, but the Butes quickly correct the situation by knocking me out cold.

Doctors don’t always like to give them as a prescription because they are a higher-class barbituate and according to my doctor, have a street value of about $45/pill.

I don’t get migraines that often, but when I do, they only slowly abate over a three day period. :(

Great website and sorry about the migraine :) Hopefully the migraine will subside… although going to SF during Oracle Open World can’t be too good for the migraine either… :)

[...] resource Petopia has been made ready for 2.3 a day early (and it’s considering Mania is going to take an AFK– I hope it’s for something relaxing, considering she deserves it!). The closest thing [...]

Get better mania! I get migraines 3-4 times a week (have my whole life). The prescribed meds always made me feel sick so I bare with it, use a cold wash cloth over my eyes and pop 2 excedrine. Given 20 minutes of layin in darkness and that wash cloth and I’m golden! (usually)

my sympathies – my beloved ex (my best friend still) gets migraines and they are incapacitating for her. He doles out her imitrex like it was gold, afraid that one day it won’t work and she will just have to suffer them forever.

be well Mania.
