Yes, I've got 100mg tablets, but usually 50mg is enough, and sometimes 25mg if I can get it at the right time. 25 mg is less incapacitating. I do only want to take it when I'm sure it's got to a point of no return, though. I've not tried naproxen, but I've tried other antiinflammatories with paracetamol. They used to sometimes stop them, now they seldom do. Did you find naproxen more effective than ibuprofen and the others?
Previous experiments with ginger have been ineffective. I'll try chomping on ginger root. :)
I'll look up the dragon's blood.
I'm thinking to wait till the new CGRP inhibitor drugs have been out a bit longer before following that up.
Thanks for the ideas.
Yes, thanks. I am concerned about the risk of overuse of medicine headaches, but at a loss about how to avoid overuse. I'm currently using mostly the daily prophylactic and abortant triptan, and less of the anti-inflammatories and/or paracetamol. I don't know what the relative risks are between all of these. I now probably hooked on at least two drugs.
Oohh thats so sad. Your living my nightmare. Had a migraine just 2 weeks ago for 5 days. Its theeeeee worst. Poor you having to struggle with it this often. From my experience with the ginger you need to get the fresh you know when it’s spicey and burning and chew that down. Like when you swallow a bit of the root it will burn in your stomach a bit but I get relief instantly after that. Maybe it’s just works for me who knows. But you should try it once. Yes the CGRP inhibitors are so new that we don’t really know the long term effects but if I was in your shoes I’d do anything. Have it always been like this or did it escalate and get more frequent after a certain age or event? Like giving birth?
