Especially Setina... my doctor prescribed a drug for my headaches today. It's for migraine and tension headaches (mine are tension) called Midrin. Anyone ever hear of this?

Thanks!
Judy

Judy - I have never heard of that medicine - my sister gets migraines (not all that often though - but once in a while) and is on Imitrex. I am sure you have tried that one!! I hope you have good luck with it. I hope your migraines go away forever!!! Tara

Hi Judygal:

Just had to say "Hi" to you. Sorry I don't know much about migraines. Used to get them all the time until I asked for a transfer from
a boss I couldn't stand. They gave me a 3-month or a 6-month temporary transfer, and when my old boss asked me if I was coming back, I said "No". He said he needed me!!!! I said that I was happy where I was and the new boss said I could stay if I wanted to. He asked me whether I liked the new job and I said "I don't know what I am doing over here, but I do know that I haven't had a headache since I left so I am staying here and am making it permanent.

Judygal, how have you been? I haven't been in
touch with the Nightowls in a long time. I am so sorry about your migraines. I did take some prescription for them in the 1960's or 1970's and the doctor said I would have to take them for life. After I didn't have any headaches for quite a while I quit taking the
medicine and then when I would get one once in a while, a Stanback powder would snap me out of it right away. I am sure the medicines of today are better than what they had 30 or more years ago. I can't remember but I bet if I asked my sister Judy she would remember the name of what I took. She can't remember what happened yesterday or 3 hours ago, but she has a good memory for ancient things. If you ask me to, I will check with her. My email is still [email protected]

Love my Judygal,
Freddie

Hi Judy!

Sorry you are still suffering as am I. I have been sick with those, the flu, sinusitus and bronchitis. Midrin was one of the first medications they gave me and it didn't do a thing for me...I hope it helps you. The Maxalt XL (I think those are the letters) and fiornal are the only things helping me. I am on neurontin to and going to talk to my doctor because I am still gaining weight like crazy while I am trying to loose...I mean I have been so sick and just eating chicken broth and drinking water and I have not lost one pound.
Let me know how the Midrin works for you.
Love ya
Setina

PS-Freddie-I have missed you girl. Great to see you post. I checked out your picture too and you are beautiful!

[judygal]

Hey Setina, The Midrin doesn't do "jack" for me but I'm still not giving up yet. Steve (hubby) is on the neurontin for his MS. He is up to 6 pills a day. He's gotten real puffy too.

Let us both have a headache free weekend.

She takes the neurontin and it helps her alot!

Judy do you think the neurontin made Steve puffy?????????

She says she has lost weight since starting it! I sure don't want to try it if I'm gonna gain the weigh back then I will feel worse!

[judygal]

Oh gosh yes, Steve's put on weight since on the neurontin. Maybe 10 lbs. He's not happy about that.

I am a teacher and prone to tension headaches. My doctor gave me Norgesic Forte and I find it is wonderful.
Also, I go for massage therapy every few months and that works wonders.
