Hi ya everybody!
Hope anybody reading this feels better then I do! I've been laid up in the bed for the past 3 days cuz of the pain of my magraines. And the icy weather didn't help one little bit! I would have gone to my doc sooner, but his office lost power. Yesterday when I went for my 2:45 pm appt it was swamped since a lot of people missed there usual appt.
I almost didn't go I had a hard time getting outta bed I felt so weak it was a cold misty rain outside , but I'm glad I went and stuck out the wait. The pain is all the way from my forehead and goes around behind my ears to the base of my neck. The left side is the side that hurts the worst. My doc give me more pain med and gave a different magraine med to try called Topomax. Last month he tried me on Propranlol or however it's spelled. I took it for 3 weeks and it didn't help my magraines. He ordered for me to get a CAT scan. They'll probably do that at the hospital sometime next week.
My mom goes to the doc tomorrow. We both see the same doc he's the best doc I've been to. She is gonna ask when my CAT scan will be she might get them to do it Friday. I'll have to wait and see. At least I wouldn't be scared this time. Last time when I had my first scan done in Aug 2004 I was sooo nervous. Luckily the nurse that wheeled me on up there happened to be related to me. lol
We'll be getting a newer vehicle soon. Thank goodness!! Something with heat/air and that goes forward and reverse! No more pushing the car to get it outta of the parking lot. lol We did our taxes and now mom's looking around for maybe a truck or van. We did run into some awful news when mom filed her taxes. Nobody would is gonna believe this, but my sister Holly 29 claimed one of my brothers on her taxes!!!! Hooo Boy is she in a hell of a lot trouble the IRS is after her ass now. It made my mom just so sick,angry, pissed off you name it she felt it. How could one of her own children do something so dirty to her?

Propranolol is for preventing migraine. If it doesn't work for you, there're amitriptyline, timolol, and valproate for migraine prevention. Topamax is generally for seizure... Wonder if the doc ran out of drugs that could be tried...
So, what migraine medicines have you tried?
So far these are the magraine meds I've tried: Imitrex, Propranolol and Topamax. Yes I know Topamax is for seizures cuz my mom was taking it when she kept having seizures. Right now I'm taking painkillers to ease the pain from the magraine.
The Imitrex works but it knocks me out!! Maybe I could take Imitrex if there is a lower dose of it.
No Dr. Halim (that's mine and mom's doctor) hasn't run outta drugs to try. He's trying to help me out. He really is. He's the nicest doc I've ever been to. He gave me a sample pack of Topamax cuz he knows I still don't have health insurance. He didn't want us to spend alot of money on a med that might not help me. I might ask him about the medicines you talked about.
