Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Raven, I am currently using Relpax for my migraines. So far it works ok. I've tried all the others and with all of them, they might work and then again might not. What gets me is that my insurance will cover the Relpax ( and the others as well) but will only give me 6 pills for the month. Now, what do I do for the other 24 days of the month?? It's so ridiculous! I have almost daily migraines and I don't have the money to buy the medication myself. Hat's off the powers that be at the insurance company! Kathleen in Calif.

I had radio frequency neurotomies done on both sides of my neck from C1 down into the T's. I went from being a daily migraineur to having 5 or 6 per month. When a migraine hits, I still get all the nausea and vomiting and sensitivity to light etc., but having it happen a few times a month instead of just running constantly has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I still get wicked headaches, but unlike migraines, they're actually treatable with pain killers and muscle relaxers. BTW - a lot of people don't understand that when the head pain stops -- a person is still not over the migraine. It can take up to three days for your body to recover from an episode. -- Lyndi (age 51) (have had migraines for 47 years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi Kera, I have tried just about every migraines medication out there. Right now I'm using Axert. It seems to work pretty well. I almost always start out with Midrin to see if it will work. I also tried a medication that was a blood pressure med to ward off the migraines and it drastically cut down on the number of migraines I had. I don't remember why I stopped taking it. Recently my doctor put me on Elavil, because I am getting headaches that wake me up in the middle of the night. It did help but I could not stand the dry mouth that it gave me, so I stopped the medication. Sorry this is so late in posting but I have been in the process of moving from California to North Carolina. This is my first time on the computer in 2 weeks.
