I have a tumultuous relationship with migraine headaches, they have been diagnosed by a Neurologist with MRI's, scans, and every other test they can run. Up until a couple of months ago I was taking Topamax as a preventative and LOVED IT! The stuff worked wonders. I had to stop at the begining of June for female issues, but am now just getting to taper back up on it.
My question is for those who suffer from the awful debilitating headaches, How do you get relief? ???
I will say that I get a variety of tension vs migraine so different treatments help the different headache.
I AM DESPERATE FOR RELIEF!! These headaches last days and cause vision issues, major sensitivity to light, vomiting, vomiting, and more vomiting, and it feels like my head is going to crack open!
For tension Fioricet for the most part works. Migraines are another story. I have tried Imitrex, Midrin, Zomig, and Frova before settling on Maxalt MLT.
I have gotten desperate enough that I am using aromatherapy oils (the pure essential oils), heating pad to the neck, ice packs to the head.
Sorry for the novel here, as I said I am desperate. Any suggestions are welcome....I will stand on my head if that will work!
