I have been living with migraines since I was 16... I am now 36. One day Imitrex just stopped working for me. After trying several different meds, relpax seemed to work some of the time. (I have several different rescue meds that I will use depending on the level of the pain - including injectable toradol and nubain for those days when an emergency room would usually be the next step.) When my doctor suggested this med, I thought no way was this going to work! Surprise, surprise it worked great for me two times in a row for two seperate attacks. Heres to hoping for fewer needles in my future... (for a girl afraid of needles - you know the headaches are bad to give your self a shot.)

And kudos to the guys in packaging who finally figured out that woman do not want to carry those huge cardboard things that imitrex come on. The inch and a half round container that the sample came in is something that actually fits in my purse.

Hi Jena

Im 43, not sure how long i've suffered from migraines, because for many many years, i thought it was sinus/allergies. Took two allergies pills a day, then one day, switched to a new allergy pill was allergic to it, bad reaction and had enough, stopped, quit it. Still got headaches, but felt different, went to a head DR, and got some Triptians/Axert, work ok- On preventive, Topamax, up to 125mgs per day. Still getting migraines though, sometimes for 3 days at a time- I HATE this.

Im sitting here at work reading all these posts and im thinking we're all doomed. The older we get the worse it appears to be. Who are we kidding. Ive tried many different meds also, and still averaging 9 migraines a month. Havent had to bring myself to the ER yet- My husband gets clusters- but they come for two months and go away for two-three years, i think i would rather get them ! Anyways, figured i would write, i liked the picture of your dog! He/Shes a cutie!

How are your headaches? How many do you get per month? Are we all doomed? I guess we could have it worse and have a headache everyday?

If you want to write back im at krissteene@yahoo.com or chrisphil3@verizon.net it would be nice to exchange headache stories and dog pictures !

Take care

Christine
