No, I never did ! Is it one a homeopatic doc does ?
Since I think it's over medication which brought these on, as of yesterday I'm taking nothing for the pain. Last month the dr. said about taking them to "get in front" of the pain - Hello, doc - how does one get in front of constant? Wake up withone and have it all day!
never heard of it, Cheryl. Today I am going to try homeopathic migraine med which dissolves under the tongue. No one carried it, wanted this brand cuz it's made in the US, liked the ingredients so my daughter ordered it Amazon Prime and she called about 1 hr. ago - it's there and she's bringing it over on her way home from grocery shopping! Finger crossed gals! ♥
Speaking of homeopathic, we went to the Farmer's Market this morning. We had the most fascinating conversation with a doctor there. She has a 2-year waiting list! I really think homoeopathy helps and I've used some products for years - of course, there are instances where we need "traditional medication" but I've always had good relief - good luck with the meds that you're getting today.
I also have a good friend who's a certified herbalist. She just completed 1600 hours of herbalist schooling and has her USA Society of Herbalism Certification. You might want to try this: 1 glass of water, 1/4th t. PINK Himalayan Salt (it comes in a grinder container) a pinch of baking soda and lemon juice to taste. My herbalist friend says this is for migraines. She gives it to her dd every day and mixes it with orange juice.
always believed the different approaches were good and I have an essential oil lady in TN with her little group, little shop and big list of customers... always have a bottle of lavender - well, more than 1 for pocketbook and home! Usually end up giving one away ... thanks Cheryl - if this doesn't work I'll try the pink salt. ♥Speaking of homeopathic, we went to the Farmer's Market this morning.

Many of us have had loads of stress the past couple of years, haven't we! I really do think it's from over medicating with acetaminophen and ibuprofen - I would grab 2 instead of taking pain pills for the spine stenosis and sinus - for years. Today there is no headache and wasn't one for most of yesterday. There's some kind of pain up there but not that gawd awful headache pain. LOL at me - got a homeopathic migraine relief and it sorta helped; then dr. & I had a phone appt. - he ordered a migraine rx ... of course I checked it out on line with reputable sources and followed their direction instead of my dr. It's not to prevent migraines, it's to deal with one when it has manifested itself; no more than 2 in 24 hrs. but you can take a 2nd one if the 1st doesn't stop the headache. Maybe it's working - I've also cut back on coffee! I really felt sorry for Dr. Booth - he said, I really don't know what else to do to treat this ... you probably should see a neurologist ... I had told him I wasn't going to another doctor! I talked him into feeling better, in fact, had him laughingAre you feeling any better, Eve ? And did you find out what causes your migrainies ?
Or is it from all the stress of the past months/ year ?
♥ He ordered blood test to check for any inflammation - got that done and we're having another phone appt tomorrow. This saga continues - I am really tired of the whole mess, I know our peeps here, and you, can relate to that.
Yes, we have some stress now and than as well, some more - some less.Many of us have had loads of stress the past couple of years, haven't we!

Jody, I never thought of that but you might be right.
thanks GlynI hope you can get this sorted soon Ev. I'm no expert but I believe all the stress you've had in your life recently, could very well be the cause of it. I am fortunate that I very rarely suffer from headaches, but I do know how debilitating they can be. So my heart goes out to you.
I had a dr like that once and it was a successful relationship. Sadly he retired and now I’m training a new one 
…. Glad you are feeling a little better
