Does anyone have much experience with the treatment of severe migraine?
A friend of mine has seen a neurologist who has ruled out any serious physical cause for her severe migraine type pain. In the meantime, while they try to discover triggers/allergies/other causes, which migraine medications have proved effective for the TM’s ? I never realised before how much these episodes affect people, it seems crippling.
She tried Zomig (Zolmitriptan) which had no effect.
I gett eh occasional Migraine when I depriove myself of sleep. I’ve heard it is caused by a constriction of the muscles in theback of neck which causes a cnstriction of blood vessels and therefore oxygen to the brain. I usually just take some robaxacet (back muscle relaxant) and hit the hay.

Rory,
Although we don’t know the exact reason for these painful episodes, we think we’ve ruled out most of the ‘likely’ causes.
