I'm just getting over one now. Tomorrow I'll have to take the family to do something or go into work. Depends on the weather.
I have one word for you - Imitrex. As a fellow migraine sufferer, I can tell you this stuff is a lifesaver. Taken early in the episode, I feel great in 45 minutes or less - quite a contrast to 24-48 hours of misery...
For the record, this is a prescription medicine, and I'm not trying to dispense medical advise - check with your doctor if you are not already aware of this stuff; you won't regret it....
Hope you feel better before the weekend's over....
Tried it... Worked once then never again.
Meds work that way with me. I have a high tolerance for them.
I'm feeling better today... Think I'm going to take my son to La Jolla to get some pictures of him for his Grandma (my mom) in NE

Migraines, ugh. I would never consider offing myself. When i had a migraine for 2 days, i just wanted to end it all.

Ollie,
Don't put off the idea of acupuncture until you have tried it at least once. It is weird, but it really works. At least for pain. I have seen some awesome results from both acupuncture and acupressure. It's amazing what the little tools we are equipped with. It's like God thought of everything.
Anyhow, try it. It doesn't hurt and the only thing is you feel a little stupid with needles sticking out of you.

There is nothing more terrifying than facing the unknown. (Still applicable but now to a new topic)

Just leave religion and politics out of the forum and we'll all get along. I think that's what the mod who moderated was thinking.
