It's been a while since I've posted. But just wanted to note 2 things.
1) I've noticed that I have a "pattern" of having migraines for about 3 days (and on the 2nd day it's really bad) and then about 3 days of rest.
2) I've gone from only needing .5-1 mg a day of zomig, to about 1-2 mg of zomig a day.
The stress, I guess has gotten worse, and part of it I think is because of of family (death in family). Anyways. I really am concerned, but I try to be positive and think, it could be a lot worse.
the 72 hour rule. If we have Migraine pain lasting longer than 72 hours without a four-hour pain-free break while awake, this could be Status Migrainous and needs medical attention.
I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but if we take certain prescription and OTC medications, more than 2-3 days during the week, we run the risk of getting Medication Overuse Headache.
Feel better, ok?
