I had to go to the ER on the 26th of July.   I had a migraine that started on a Thursday, I was hoping it would go away, being stubborn perhaps.  I just didn't want to wind up with homehealth for three days again.   Undecided  Anyhow, by the 26th I was not in good shape.   My hubby came home from work and took me to the ER.  The doctor was terrific and my wait time was really good, less than 30 min.   The doctor asked me what I wanted, he rattled off some medications.  I was hurting so bad I told him I didn't care what he used I just didn't want to hurt anymore.   

He gave me magnesium, toradol, compazine, benadryl, and diladuin.   I was very much improved in about an hour.   It was awesome.   I am going to ask my nerologist that if I need home health perhaps they can use that combo of meds.  I don't think they can give the diladuin but thats okay, the toradol helps.
