Migraine with aura

[Jim Stewart ...]

Anybody recommend a pill for Migraine with aura...been havine them since the mid 90's and they are getting worse....

[Jeff Gaines]

Migraleve always worked for me but having nasal polyps removed provided a pretty well permanent cure.

Ask your doc. The interesting things are prescription only.

I'm on Pizotifen. I don't think it stops them, but the after effects are a mild headache instead of having to go to bed for the rest of the day.

You have a new underlying condition, which is aggravating the migraine.

You complained in a recent thread about "dehydration". But you did not mention whether you had "increased thirst".

I'd want to see a doctor, and have a blood test, and see what had popped out-of-band.

This isn't the migraine doing this all by itself. The migraine is a "hint" you need to check the basics.

I had two conditions at one time. I had acephalgic aura. And some number of days after that, I absentmindedly used my blood pressure meter (hadn't used it for months) and my BP was 200/100. Well, after I started getting meds for the BP, I no longer had acephalgic aura. Cured, just like that, by treating the underlying condition, which was my BP.

A study found magnesium cleared 100% of migraines. A quick search isn't finding it, but it's a pretty clear pointer to what's going on.

My wife was talking to me about supplements at lunchtime...

links it to migraine, as do but

"Should magnesium be given to every migraineur? No"

I might give it a go though!

illogical & idiotic as usual

that's Rod

[Vir Campestris]

My wife has reminded me that I did give it a go some years ago, with no noticeable effect.
