Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Hi Funny you should mention that. I had one Saturday and into last nite. They usually last 2 days. I try to stay quiet, calm, not move around much as that makes it throb more. I have been given Zomig for the headaches, but they really relax me....into a sleep....LOL Sometimes its not feasible for me to take it because it puts me to sleep. Yesterday we took the kids on an Easter Bunny train ride. Oh the noise! I took Tylenol, but that dont really help. This morning as I await the daycare children it feels much better.....we will see in about 3 hours if it is totally gone. But anyway.......THANKS for asking. A friend gave me a magnet to hold on my head but I didnt feel that helped either. Usually I just go to a quiet room and sleep. Take care ....Thanks for thinking of me ----- Original Message ----- From: " Matsumura " <Matsumura_Clan@...> < > Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 6:23 AM Subject: [ ] - Headaches > , > > How are your headaches? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: " " <magicalm@...> > < > > Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 5:19 AM > Subject: Re: [ ] I'm new... > > > > Verna.......You are at the RIGHT group!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Sorry, ! That's not the news I wanted to hear. I was hoping that somehow you had found something to work for you by now. I would go back to the doctor or go to someone different and ask for help. That's no way to live! There are so many different medications today that I believe they can prescribe something to help you without putting you into a coma. Good luck to both you and Joe! ----- Original Message ----- From: " " <magicalm@...> < > Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 5:35 AM Subject: Re: [ ] - Headaches > Hi > Funny you should mention that.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 , I second what says. There are many different medications out there to try. A few years ago the only medication the doctors tried with me knocked me out. I refused to take them and have pretty much lived on Advil since. Recently a doctor put me on Imitrex. This has helped me a great deal. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
