Who gets olm and what works for you? I have had a migraine almost solid for a month now and the intensity just keeps getting worse. I was on celebrex for a week and got the worse migraine I've ever had in my life. I went to the doc to day and the gave me a shot of toradal or some shit and damn did that shot burn they also put me on mildin or something like that so please tell me all your experiences with migraines and it would be much appreciated I know in the end you go to a nuerologist but they take months to get into usually.

My migraines start with a blur spot that moves across my field of vision (about 1-2hours), then I get a gnarly headache that makes me sick to my stomach and all I want to do is lay down and sleep it out. My doc gave me cafergot, but sleep seems to work the best. Growing up my early teen years I had them often, 1 every 6 weeks. Now I have one every 2-4years.

Topomax is what my doctor prescribe me for on going migraines, it's a daily medication - worked like a charm.

I don't take it any more and they came back
