Thursday, November 22, 2007 at 10:45 PMmy doctor hasn't given me any abortive medications yet. all i have is zanaflex, a muscle relaxer. i know that weather is a real trigger for me, and we had a lovely front come in over night and today (thanksgiving) has been a real joy along with the pain. i don't normally look forward to the holidays anyway for some reason, i get real depressed -- a lot of people do.
and now with the money situation. i'm going to be off the topamax for about a week, until i get paid next friday, before i can afford to get some more. i know that's not good, but that's the way it is.
i see the headache doc in mid-december and i will be asking about abortives. i have never tried triptans; i'm guessing he'll start with those. typically in the past, i've had migraines about 4 or 5 times a year, but now that i'm getting older, they're coming much more often.

Anatomy of a Migraine explains in detail the four phases of an attack.
Holidays are a tough time of year for Migraineurs. Have you seen this interview with Marcia Cross? Marcia Cross on Navigating Holiday Parties with Migraines. It discusses some strategies on dealing with the holidays.
