After 6 weeks of continual agony, bedridden most of the time, I went to the E.R. and threw up at the doc, my timeing was perfect but he got out of the way, although I think some got on his shoes. Needless to say it got my regular 175 mg of demerol in record time, with no further hassle. Then he prescribed Valium. Fortunately, I got to see a neurologist soon thereafter, who diagnosed migraines, prescribed a beta-blocker, and the rest is history. My worst was from the husband of a suffer who said that if I took no meds, and just toughed it out for a couple of weeks, I would desensitize my head and that the migraines wouldn't hurt so much.
Migraines are a disease of resentment.
That should stop the pain from happening. Guess my worst migraine advise was my when I first mentioned it to my general practice doctor at a Humana clinic, down in Miami. I told him that I thought I was getting migraines, that it ran in my family, on my mothers side. He asked me what I wanted. I told him that I didn't know.
