I have been battling this headache it feels like for the past 4-5 days....It has changed and I have been pain free at moments but it just keeps coming back---or a whole new one begins.
I've tried maxalt, reached my max dosage and still have the headache. I am stuck at work right now and I have no choice but to finish the day out (7am-7pm) so I can't take my fiorcet.....Its just been a hard day and this headache is wearing on me.
The maxalt worked so well the first time I tried it, and since then it hasnt worked nearly as well.....this might be a different type of headache that might not respond to maxalt as well- but it feels the same. piercing right eye pain, throbbing right temple and the low back side of my head feels as if its going to explode---I had sparkling lights in my right eye about an hour and half ago so I knew the headache was on the way....
....I'm not quite sure why I'm even writing a sharepost---i guess Im just looking for some motivation to get me thru the day. Migraines can drain you physically and emotionally--anyone who reads this can understand that.
thanks for listening/reading.

Chelsea,
Hang in there--this won't last forever! You can make it!
It sounds like this is an especially bad headache--do you think a call to your doctor might be a good idea? If you're having a really bad one, it'd probably be a good idea to let your doc know. Maybe he'll have some ideas to help you through!
Take one minute at a time til you can get home. Then be sure to take that fioricet and get some rest!
I'm sending you hugs and happy thoughts!!
