Medically Diagnosed Migraine Headaches
 Post reply image
on Apr 30, 2008 (Read 5042 times | Comments: 25)
I've suffered over 20+ years. I've done everything, from shots and pain pills to daily maintainance seisure drugs. I've recently tried Medical acupuncture with auricular treatments, reflexology, kinesiology and acupuncture - which has actually worked for me, knock on wood - for the last month. I'm told the migraine lessen or go away when I hit menopause, but I'm 46 and that could or couldn't be anytime soon. Does anyone have any advise, similar experiances or any thing I can do to keep them from returning? I'm not on BC pills, I've had ESSURE done and I don't do caffeine, nicotine, aspartame or the usual migraine triggers. I'm careful and I do work out, I'm just so in the dark as to why I can't get healthy and rid of them for good! Thanks, everyone! I appreciate your feedback!

I also suffer from migraines. I am 48 and hope menopause starts soon. I currently take Rizatriptan, and it works, but I feel like I'm having to take it much too often! What is ESSURE? I haven't heard of that. Good luck to everyone, and I hope for healing for all of us!

Anyone try Botox injections? I hear they're great for migraines...ask your doctor about them!

I used to get migraines about once / month.I had to sit in the dark and have complete silence.Then a friend of mine suggested I try to stand in the shower with hot water hitting my head.Sometimes I stood in the shower for over an hour but it hemped a lot.I also started taking Excedrin migraine geltabs.Those were a lifesave.It turned out that I had a brain tumor a benign one causing pressure on my brain.The tumor was removed now no more migraines
