My headaches are very drug resistant and I'm hoping that the Midrin will be the one that helps. When I get a migraine I start tensing up and that gives me a tension headache on top of the migraine. I don't know if that sounds strange or if other people have that. When I get a migraine I tend to get very tense and feel Depressed, Lost and alone and when I don't have a headache I am worried about getting one because I know I'm going to get one but I don't know how bad its going to be unless I get an aura, Then I know its going to be a bad one. Most of the time the abortive med's don't work and that may be because I get the tension headache at the same time. The Triptans work on the migraine but not the tension headache. So I'm still left with a killer headache. That is why I have high hopes for Midrin it is supposed to work on both migraines and tension headaches. The migraines consume my life, They are the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night.

 

I have a good headache going now and my thoughts are a little scrambled and that my show in my writing.

 

So please forgive me.
