Dear Dr. Haplea,I was working at a State Prison and was attacked by an inmate. He hit me on the back of my head and I have had migraines ever since. I have seen many doctors but nobody can help me; they put me on morphine for 3 years but it did not help, and now I am on Relafen 500mg but it does no...

    I've had migraines 2 or 3 days a week since I was a child and what has worked for me better than all the meds is EFT, to be found at www.emofree.com. It couldn't hurt anyway. Watching my diet like a hawk does not hurt either.

    I had migraines and the only thing that helped was seeing a chiropractor. He adjusts my neck and I have had fewer and fewer headaches. It makes sense too because the bones in your neck can move out of place and cause a comprimise in the vascular flow and nerves.
  3. Abortive medications?

    With all due respect, neither Relafen nor Morhine are abortive medications. They are pain meds and do not have the pharmacokinetics to abort a migraine attack.

    Also, common and classic migraine have been called migraine without aura and migraine with aura for years now.
