I used to get migranes frequently (multiple times a month) especially when weather fronts were coming thru or nearby. I sometimes got them from over exhurtion (sp?), peanuts, bright lights, strong smells, unknown reasons..... The migrane meds I took (and it was alot of them) tended to make me feel really weird and freaked out...like my arms and legs were going to fall off. I always had to sleep after I took them because of that freaked out feeling and I usually woke up with the headache "in the background" and had to "walk on eggshells" to avoid things that I knew were triggers. I would battle them for weeks at a time, going in and out of the background.... I took Imitrex one (and only one) time and I had the worse 4 day headache I have ever had.
A neuro gave me a prescrip for Migquin that I took as soon as I felt one coming on and then an hour (or 2...I don't remember) later if I could still feel the headache. It did help me and I had no side effects from it. I got this prescrip after a dental injury that left me in horrific pain that I take ALOT of drugs for. I'm not sure if they played any part in the migrane front. If you try it, post back again. I'd like to know if it helped others.
I do also take Tylenol Sinus now if I think I might be getting one or anytime before I am going out in the heat (I live in the HOT south). It can't be regular tylenol. I told my husband once that if it didn't have "Sinus" on the package it wasn't going to fix his headache. He came to agree! I sometimes take a dose (2) and then if I'm not better within a couple hours, I take another 1/2 or full dose...not advocating that anyone take it different than directed..just conveying what I do.
NEVER allow a dentist to use formaldehyde in a root canal. Even if you've gone to them for years, ASK and SAY NO. Serious and life threatening injuries are random. Problems can occur months or years downstream of the root canal and you never put two and two together. I wonder how many cases of jaw cancer are from this stuff. What was used on me also had lead and mercury in it....permanently sealed within my tooth and nerve canal until I had the tooth extracted. Don't walk in my shoes.
