Migraines-Help??!!

I've tried all these over the years:

Nothing seems to be helping.
It doesn't even dull the pain.
I'm almost certain my headaches are related to my cycle.
They are hormone headaches.
They last a full day at their worst, then can linger for a few days before or after the worst of it.
The good news:I can still get out of bed, I don't get nautious, and light doesn't bother me. The bad news:They are painful and I feel sick for 24-36 hrs., do nothing for the whole day.
Any ideas? What works for you?
I guess it's time to go to the doctor.
The ob/gyn or the family doctor?

If you can talk to your OB, I say go to them. My family doctor will just recommend copious amounts of Advil.

I get the same thing, so I feel your pain. Get better soon!

Getting prescription migraine medicine was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and for my family. I was tired of trying to dull the pain with all of those. Now I just pop one pill the second I feel it coming on, and within 20 minutes it is completely gone. Fabulous.

OH by the way, when I told Dr. C about my migraines, it made him nervous. I think it was better to go to my family doc.

My mom swears by drinking a half a can of coke or pepsi to avert migraines. Caffeine is the ingredient that works in Excedrin migraine, though, so if that doesn't work for you I doubt the cola drinks would. I'm sorry, I hope you feel better soon!

hello? How about the free doc in the family? Call Eric and he'll hook you up.
