I know the drill. I have epilepsy, so migraines are a part of my weekly life. Just when I think they can't get worse, they do. Worse yet? I can't TAKE Imitrex for migraines, because...drumroll please...they cause SEIZURES! wahooooey! Yeah. <br/><br/>Nothing but Vicodin for this old broad. <br/><br/>*mwah on your forehead*<br/><br/>Hope your better!<br/><br/>CP. Oh dollbaby. I know the drill.

That little pill is like a lifevest on the sinking Titanic. <br/><br/>In crankity old voice she says, "Back when I was a wee little one, the migraines would attack in 2 week waves. The assaults would last 3 to 5 days and back then, the only thing they could do is knock me out with some sedatives with a 10 guage needle to the thigh." Glad you're feeling better.

It's like my brain clenches up so hard when I'm stressed that I can't feel the pain, but then when I stop clenching, the pain all flows in. Sort of like the pain you feel in your muscles after a workout, only this is pain in your brain after a brain workout.<br/><br/>I feel ya, Boo. Sorry you had to experience that! Yeah, now you know why I’m such a whiny, cranky bitch when I have a migrane!

I got hit with my first 'visual impairment' migraine a couple of years ago and it was a real bitch. Did you get any of the tingling and numbness? That stuff's not funny. You think numbness and you think stroke. I don't know what the Lodine is, but I know the Imitrex will knock you out. My doc gave me Duradrin (it's generic for something?). It doesn't knock you out, but it makes the damn headache go away. If the other stuff doesn't work you should ask your doc about it. - J I feel you pain, my friend.
