Avocado Trigger?

gremlynna wrote in migraines Nov 14, 2014 21:38

I have been having frequent migraines for some time now and noticed that they regularly occur the day after I do the weekly movie/TV marathon with a friend. It occurred to me that it could be the salsa in the gaucamole that is our standard fare, because anything with cooked tomato has been triggering my migraines for some months. (I can't even have ( Read more... )

OK so here's something interesting that I found out today. Several CVS pharmacies in my area are out of all the different strengths of hydrocodone. They are saying it's back ordered for at least a month, and are recommending that one goes to their competitors, or find a different kind of pain killer... Are you guys having the same problem since it ( Read more... )

Acupuncture?

Has anyone had success with acupuncture for migraines? Anyone know of an Acupuncturist in the Boston/North Shore area that accept insurance. They need to be a MD or OD for my insurance to cover the visit. So far all the MD's or OD's I called don't take any insurance or they aren't accepting new patients. I don't have the money to pay out of pocket ( Read more... )

Then it is back to daily migraines. I called my specialist today to tell him about the Topamax.He told me the regular medications aren't working. He ( Read more... )

Can't find relief

I've had chronic headaches for around 7 years since college and around 6 months ago out of the blue got my first migraine. It started out as a headache that wouldn't go away. My regular Dr thought it was rebound headaches from all of the OTC meds I had been taking but referred me to a neurologist. Before I was able to get in with him I ended up in ( Read more... )

Migraines in Pregnancy

bertine wrote in migraines Apr 17, 2013 09:45

I have dealt with migraines most of my adult life. About two years ago I started trying to conceive and went off my preventative (Topamax) and started getting them much more often. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and I am getting, on average, two migraines a week. The first thing I tried was acetaminophen, which is pretty useless ( Read more... )
