As I mentioned, and you may have read, I suffer from chronic headaches, in most cases migraines. So far, this year has been MUCH better than 2008, thank the Gods. This past week, though, not so much.
In general I’m on a supplement called MigreLief (that you can get from Amazon) that contains magnesium, feverfew and riboflavin which I take twice a day to help prevent or minimize the migraines. I also have a prescription abortive, which I take once a headache starts, but can only take two pills in 24 hours. If those fail, I have another Rx rescue medicine. Past that, it’s the urgent care center or ER. Fortunately, I’ve managed to get by without that option so far.
Today, I’ve already taken both doses of my abortive before noon. At least for the moment it feels like the second one is finally loosening the vice grip on my temples.
I once had a best friend who also suffered from migraines. Her husband didn’t so he couldn’t understand when he told her to ” muddle through” why that was nearly an impossibility. I’m grateful that the Husband -does- understand what I’m going through.
