I hope you are feeling better today. Those migraines are very debilitating and I'm sorry you have to deal with them. Even when the medicine kicks in, you still didn't feel yourself the rest of the rest of the day, isnt that how it works for you? Do you have triggers that you avoid so you don't get as many migraines?I think so. And sumatriptan for the rescue one
I woke up with one this morning, leftover from last night, but it went away with a shower and some caffeine. It will probably come back though because I’m going to the movies later and that usually causes them as does concerts but those are some of my favorite things so I just deal with it. Well, I actually rarely go to either anymore, but I used to go to concerts all the time lol and yes, I still feel “off” even with the medicine. Triggers, none that I can identify really. Except the movies and concerts but I rarely ever go to either of those anymore and still get 10-20+ migraines a month sooooo…I hope you are feeling better today.

When I took sulfa drugs I got powerful pressure headaches. Dr called it migraines. My worst triggers were smells, cigarette smoke, mold, onions, fried foods- I smelled what no one else did. Food triggers were foods that contained tryptophan,watermelon.Loud noise also triggered them. I took topamax and I don't remember the name of the rescue one but it was an addictive one. I'd get my words jumbled up and the harder I tried to think of words the worse the headache got.I felt like I had dementia. Some days I just felt like crying. I got blind spots on my eyes because it was blocking the flow of blood to my eyes. When my kidneys took a downward spiral, the hematologist said I need a bone marrow biopsy. I begged him to tell me whether it could be the sulfa drugs cause no other Dr believed me. After 10 years I had finally found a DR who listened. Long story short he has a GI Dr friend who got me off the sulfa. It took a whole month to subside after stopping the sulfa ... But Those migraines were gone. And I didn't need brain surgery to remove a cyst or a bone marrow biopsy after all. But to this day, I have very few memories of that era. I don't know what the house looked like that I lived in. People can talk about happenings, I don't know. My memories are silent .....I woke up with one this morning, leftover from last night, but it went away with a shower and some caffeine.

My brother fought migraines. I don't think I've ever had them. My mom had a lot of headaches but I don't know it they were migraines or not.

My heart goes out to people like you who are enduring migraines. Unless you've had them, it's hard to imagine just how debilitating they are
