OT: Hrricanes Lounge XLVII: The return to obeying Rhules

[LakeLivin]

Have i mentioned lately how much chronic migraines suck?

No doubt! Fortunately, one of the triptan meds works great for me. But there are newer meds (other than botox) with a different mechanism of action than the triptans. I haven't really looked into them since sumatriptan works so well for me, but have you tried any of them? @DaveG same question for you? I really hate hearing about people suffering from migraines knowing how much they do suck!

I'm on Sumatrapitan for them, I took it a bit too far into it, but it just causes me to have brain fog for a day or 2 after

have not but ironically since the fluorescent light right in front of my desk at work went out in November (I may or may not have done something to it) I've only had 2-3 migraines in the past 3 months.

I wouldn't say I get brain fog but I am a bit more fatigued after taking it. And if I don't recognize one is starting before the aura hits I might need a second dose 15-24 hours after the first one, but thankfully that still prevents any nausea or headache.

That's 2-3 too many in my book, lol. Actually, that's about the frequency that I get them, maybe one a month.

I was getting 2 a week.

My migraine is alive and her name is the person who birthed my wife.
