Migraine anyone?



Recommended Posts

I suffer from Migraine for many years. My mom does also. I was on a medication before imitrex that was paid by insurance but its now no longer cover.

I have told my doctor about this other medication but he flat out said no & even try to get the insurance to cover the medication I was on before & they refuse to cover it.

I can't take medication with aspirin after surgery. I notice it gives me side affects. I used to take aleve & Advil & even Advil for migraine but now I can't take none of that.

Is there anything you guys take that helps with migraine?

I can't live like this. Thanks

Check the website for your prescription med. Most have patient assistance programs for those who cannot afford their meds.

Mami, I have a brain disorder that gives me horrible migraines.. With my disorder it is very common for OTC meds to be ineffective, my neurologist has me on liquid Vicodin for my Migraines and also an anti Migraine med called propranolol. I take it twice a day and I have seen a difference in the amount of migraines I get. Also, Imitrex does come in a generic now that your insurance should pay for. It's called Sumatriptan. Other than that, I just have to push through the migraines and at times it takes all I have to power through them!

The only thing they have here is medicaid for people that don't have a lot of income. Medicaid doesn't cover everything either. So i'm ass out at this moment.

I will go back to my doctor and see if there is another medication that I can take that is cover by insurance. I been with a migraine since Friday. It's now Sunday. I been taking the tylenol PM but since it has sleep aid to it. It just makes me sleep it off. I still have it in my head :(

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
