Response to migranes

Patty, I just saw your post about low blood pressure medication. I am coming off of a three day headache just now and boy do I feel great! When hubby asked me how I felt today I said great...but it doesn't take much after constant pain for three days. I wanted to tell you that I was on Corgard for two years (not pregnant or nursing). It really did help control the headaches. I went in every three months for check ups. If nothing else it helped get them under control. After suffering for years it was such a relief. It may be just what you need for a while. I did want to get them under control, but not be on any medication. Finally I quit taking it and have been able to manage them fairly well. My doctor encouraged this...he is very preventative oriented with healthy diet etc. He suffers from migraines as well and is very sympathetic. If I have another out of control flare up though you can bet I'll be back in his office to find out his recommendations. I was spending on average one day a week driving the porcelain bus with dry heaves! My young children learned to follow me to the bathroom to give me a washcloth. I don't want to go back there ever again! The dosage is so low that it doesn't generally intefere with blood pressure if monitored and prescribed correctly. I'm glad you posted this question because I will be trying some of the natural remedies suggested.
