I had to roll my eyes when I heard about that product. My mother in law was all excited about it... fell for it... "look bim, it even cures migraines, and you don't pay if it doesnt, it even says that migraines are caused by blood vessel changes, so they must know something.... right? give them a call"
Poor her... she was just trying to help. I told her it was garbage.... That the proof was in the word " cure", seeing as there IS NO CURE! LOL. Then she read the phone number. I nearly died with laughter.... 1888-mycure8 oh gawddd... thanks for the share post Teri, some people might just be desperate enough to try.....
love

You obviously do not suffer from chronic migraines.
This is what the Headache Stay Gone Website says about potential side effects:
Q: Does Headache Stay Gone have any side effects?
A: Headache Stay Gone is formulated using all-natural herbs and vitamins. To date; we know of no side effects after thousands have taken Headache Stay Gone.
It does not say that there are none. Anytime you put something in your body, take time to do a little research.
I am going to try it. When you suffer from chronic migraines, you will try almost anything!
Ok. I tried it. There were several pills to take on a regular basis and the stomach full of pills made me feel a little ill. The pills caused frequent bathroom trips, but I kept on trying to tough it out. I really just thought it would be nice to be finally rid of migraines once and for all. Unfortunately, these pills didn't tackle the migraines. Actually, I don't think they touched them at all. However, I am glad I tried otherwise I would have kept wondering. If these pills do work for some people, I say, more power to them. Not every migraine or migraine sufferer is exactly the same. Different remedies will work for different people. I hope someday, I will find something that works for mine.
I am shocked that you people are writing such horrible things about Headache Stay Gone. My mother-in-law and I both suffered from migraine headaches for over 10 years. We called and ordered Headache Stay Gone. The lady we spoke with was the kindest person I have ever ordered from, she gave me great instructions, told me to call her if I had any concerns and shipped me and my mother-in-law the bottles. I have been migraine free for over 6 months now. I quit taking the Headache Stay Gone over 3 months ago. This is my miracle, I used to get migraines 4 times a week. My MD never helped me like the good people at Headache Stay Gone did. By the way it worked for my mother-in-law also. She actually is thinking about going back to work. She was on disability because of her headache. It's shameful the filth you people are talking on Headache Stay Gone.
As was posted earlier migraine sufferers will try anything. My wife suffered debilitating migraines for years. She took every prescription and non-prescription treatment there was. Nothing helped. Doctors said that they would decrease or go away after menopause, they did not. She took anti-epilepsy drugs, she settled on Max-Alt and Zomig one or the other depending on what 'type' of headache she had and how soon she caught it. She resisted Headache Stay Gone but relented.
She is not headache free but her headaches have deminished from a few a week to one every once-in-a-while. And they are much much less severe.
You can call it what you want but we have good, if not very good, results. I wish they would go away and hope that they will but in the mean time I am very happy that she is not filling herself up with MaxAlt and Zomig every day and thrilled that she is living almost a normal life.
I am curious to try this product. Have been "diagnosed" with Chronic Cluster Headaches-- I have attacks everyday. This has gone on since 2003. Have seen countless doctors, and depending on which specialty, tend to tag another diagnosis, secondary to Chronic Cluster Headaches. The list of prescription drugs were endless, but made me sick. So I have tried many herbs/supplements that can and do "relieve" the headaches, but nothing that has cured them. And, as a result of suffering daily-- not 3-4 days a week-- EVERYDAY!!! -- I am ready.
My question is has your position changed after people who actually suffer with headaches have posted positive results?
Well, I don't know about headache-be-gone, but I have been trying slippery elm for my migraines (out of desparation) and it is the best relief I have had in years.
I was almost ready to try anti-epileptic drugs. I saw a young girl have a colitis epilepsy attack on the train a few weeks ago. There are many many neurological connections that originate in the bowel (google for "the second brain"). 95% of your serotonin is in your bowels.
My migraines apparently originate in my bowels because they have some sort of inflammatory response to irritation.
I used to take lots of asprin - so the small amount of salicylates in slippery elm cannot be having much affect in comparison. This though may prevent asthmatics from using it.
Teri,
Thank you for standing up and writing this. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I haven't blogged about it because some of the rantings on that site made me a bit afraid of the reaction from them if I did blog about it.
I can't believe that site says there are no side effects. Any fool with five minutes to Google can find that there are indeed possible side effects to the ingredients in that product. Just having two salicylates -- white willow bark and meadowsweet -- in it makes it questionable.
Anyway, thank you for looking out for all of us!
Namaste,
Abi
Abi,
You're welcome! I could comment more, but think I probably said all I need to say in my SharePost.

I have not tried the headache medicine yet..but i do plan on it....I do understand the side effects...But you have to also understand the side effects from the other meds you have to take for migranes..such as topamax and imitrex..i had rather have something more natural..I do appreciate your research and you are right in the fact that u should know what you put in your body. It is a shame that we have to resort to some horrible drugs that we do..but us migrane people KNOW how bad it is and we will do what we have to do!!!
