Relpax if she catches it early, Maxalt-MLT if she dosent as they dissolve in your mouth so no pills in an upset stomach they help 95% of the time but as a last ditch effort to avoid a Demerol shot at the ER she has percocets and phenogrin(sp?, its an anti-nausea)
as far as preventative measures she has tried beta-blockers but her blood pressure is already low and they caused her to pass out. good thing she was at the hospital at the time as when they actually got her blood pressure to register it was something like 60 over 40.
she has tried one of the anti seizure drugs(Dilantin(sp?)) but it causes other side effects that make it hard for her to work even though it reduced the frequency of her migrains. the doc is trying to get an epileptic medicine for her to try as a preventative. he is trying to get her a trial pack for free since it is EXTREAMLY expensive stuff.
migrains are horrible things, ive never had one but ive watched Darla suffer with them for 3 years. unfortunatly for her most are hormonal so every month like clock work she has a week of trying to keep on top of them with drugs so that she doesnt have to hit the ER
