Thank you for the very imporant tidbit about IIH!!!! I have been dealing with IIH for quite some time now, and the fact that it can only be definetely diagnosed through a spinal tap is something I have fought over and about with certain doctors who were absolutely certain my IIH wasn't back but would not do a lumbar!!!!!!!!!There are other symptoms of course, but the 100% sure way to diagnose is a lumbar.
just wanted to say thanks

Dear Teri;
As editor of this site you have a tremendous opportunity to help people suffering from migraine. I urge you to read and promote my post about a safe and natural alternative to all the meds you advertise here. Like many of those who post here, I have been through the mill and most recently was made literally crazy (psychotic and panic attacks with no prior history of either) from Topamax. Thank God I found a safe and natural alternative! I have not had a migraine in the past two months, which is a miracle. It is thanks to Petadolex, which you can check out at www.migraineaid.com. It has been used in Europe for many years, there are extensive studies which prove its efficacy. It was a Harvard trained neurologist from Colorado Springs who told me about it and gave me a sample bottle. It takes about 30 days to work but it dramatically reduces the number of migraines, even in children, for whom it is safe and has no side effects. I urge you to use your power as editor of this site to promote a safe, natural alternative to the medications we have pushed at us, which can cause so much more additional misery. I don't always have time to answer individual shareposts but when I do I will be a determined advocate of this product, and hope you will be too. Let's break free of the pharmacutical companies in this country and find what really works from nature. Thanks for letting me share here. Christine
Christine,
It's GREAT to hear that Petadolex is helping you so much! I read your SharePost the day you posted it.
Petadolex is a supplement with which I have been familiar for several years. It is listed in our article that lists possible Migraine preventives, and I have been working on an informational article about it, an article that will be on the site probably next week.
There is, however, something you need to understand. I do not personally advertise ANYTHING here; nor do I have anything to do with what IS advertised on this site. Advertising is handled by staff in Arlington. The only time I get involved is when I notice an ad on the site that I feel is inappropriate. The manufacturers of Petadolex could advertise on the site if they wanted to. That's something everyone needs to realize. We run advertising to support the cost of offering the site to our readers, but what is advertised is largely a function of which companies want to advertise, not what we at HealthCentral want to see advertised.
Another issue is that I cannot and will not promote or be an advocate for any product. That is tantamount to product endorsement and giving medical advice. It is my goal to offer information and support so people can make the best decisions possible.
I fully understand your enthusiasm about Petadolex, Christine. However, your comment made a few statements that I cannot let stand. You said it works in 30 days. It works in 30 -90 days for SOME people. Nothing works for everyone. You stated it has no side effects. EVERYTHING has potential side effects, and Petadolex is no exception.
I hope Petadolex continues to work this well for you!
Teri
