Meds:
  • Ambine (sleep)
  • Phenergan (nausea)
 
  • Fiorinal (HA)

Other Headache/Health Info:
  • I've had migraine for about 15 years now. I've tried many different meds. So far none work real well. I had a reaction to Imitrex, so I can't take that or Stadol, Zomig.
  • I had sinus surgery last year, the docs assured me that this would help my headaches. (wrong!!!) 
  • I feel so lost about this migraine hell, most docs don't understand it. I do have to get demerol shots at times. I get very sick with mine, throw up and have to be in a dark room, no noise. HA is funny 'cause with a two-year-old, that's pretty much impossible! I had a great doc when I lived in PA, but now that I'm in Maryland, I can't find a good one. My doc last tried to give me prednisone. I had a problem taking that one. I can't take it anymore, but it really didn't help. 
  • I also have depression. I was fine dealing with this for most all my life with no meds, but I also had a hysterectomy last year, and found myself very depressed. I was on meds for about year, but now I'm not. (Yeah!) 

Personal Info:
  • 33-year-old mom of two great kids. My daughter is 6 and my son is 2-years-old. I'm married to a pretty understanding guy . . . thank goodness!
  • I'm from Florida, but live in Maryland now. :-( I hate cold weather!
