My head hurts so much this week, and the last week and this headache is wearing down my will to do just about anything. I have taken my Imitrex and they seem pretty useless right now.
Massage made it worse. Baths don't help. Heat helps the back pain some. Sleep is all I enjoy, and I have to knock myself out with nighttime medication for that to happen because my scalp is so sensitive I want to cry laying on it.
I really need this one to get worse so I can go to the ER and get a shot for it or have it get better so I can be done with it. I'm tired and have far too much to do to be sick right now. I am in this horrible cycle of beating myself up for being sick.
I have forgotten what it is like to be sick like this. I don't get headaches very often anymore and I am grateful, but when i do, they last for a weeks and suck my energy and I remember just how draining and tiring and soul crushing they are.

It's overwhelming to conclude that because those of us who have auras and migraines, others who are fortunate not to have them do not comprehend how debilitating they can be.
Have been prescibed almost every expensive med to reduce freq and severity of the migs.
ER visits (hard to find someone to drive), numerous medical phys. urgent visits, to finally discover $10 old med (pain reliever) prescription taken when first onset of mig- sometimes in the middle of a mig, has helped tremendously to allow me to function, doing little things for my son, husband, home.
They believe if I am up and about, they perceive that as all's well. It sure beats days in bed, and i do not complain - i have written a note MIGRAINE IN PROGRESS on the refrig - well, it's ignored...Chiros, chg of diet, attempts to reduce stress, therpy, etc...Would appreciate feedback from any support groups (migraine friends) or maybe start one to provide mig people with emotional and spiritual support. People WHO DO KNOW and CARE

I'm wondering if you would be interested in reviewing some of the Migraine-related materials [http://migraine.wegohealth.com/migraine.html]on WEGO Health. Please let me know if you think there is a way we may be able to work together.

My dentist told me he could help with my migraines and tension headaches. He said I might get migraines from clenching my teeth and that this dental guard would probably help me. He gave me this website to learn more: http://www.theheadacheremedy.com.
Has anyone heard about the NTI before? Does it work? I am intrigued.
