    I have no luck going to the er for migraines so I just don’t go. I find that they think all I want is pain meds.

      For those of us that can only get relief with opiates, the ED is a particularly bad experience, even if you have a documented history of migraine, they look at you suspiciously as though you’re an addict. Horrible.

    After 26 years of living with chronic migraine, and taking SEVEN prescriptions a month, I don’t go to the ER either. All they can do is give me a stronger narc than I already have at home….plus I have to deal with the bright lights, explaining the situation, and the bill afterwards….

    Have your dentist make you a small splint to wear at bedtime. Many migraines are caused by grinding or clenching in your sleep. Quitting caffeine completely helped reduce mine as well.

    I’ve tried both Brian. Neither worked for me. I don’t drink much caffeine at all anymore. Do you still get migraines? For how long have you had them? I’m going on 26 years

    I’ve had them for over 30 years. I used to get them at least one or twice a week. Now I get about a handful a year.

    This is good info for someone with classic migraine. However, Triptans are contraindicated for Hemeplegic or Basilar Type Migraines. The treatments for these are different and most ER departments are not familiar with them.

    Great! Now we need one for treating Hemiplegic and Basilar Artery Type Migraines, as Triptans can be deadly.

    I’ve had my headache 24/7 for 2 1/2 years going to the ER is not always good main medicines don’t work for me and they don’t always want to give you the medicine that you need

    Massage therapy can relieve migraines and even make them disappear definitively! Try it before you fill yourself with dangerous chemicals that will only relieve at the moment but not on a long term basis! I had migraines for 20 years but after 7 months of therapeutic massages, i don’t have migraines anymore (sometimes ii still have small headaches or hangover 😉 but no more real migraines!!!). Give it a try!

    I’ve had migraines for 52 years. I don’t bother with the ER anymore either. They have a tendency of leaving you in a room for hours and still send you home in pain. I do get the Botox and it seems to have helped some. I think I get migraines less often but when I do, they seem more intense.
