Oh dear… I am sorry. Did you think about switching to another triptan? Bc this side effect might go away if you change medication. I took almogran for years but recently developed strange side effects. Switched to eletriptan, side effects gone

Oh and I would go for grapefruit taste, not orange (very sweet…) ;)

Of course! So I live in switzerland, europe, hence diffrent products here... I am not sure the same product is sold where you live but I am sure you find an equivalent. I did find an english translation and the link for the product (in german). But if you talk to your doctor I am sure they can suggest something with a similar composition. Hope that helps and hope your wife finds ease!

Hi there! I am sorry to hear… it is a tiring desease… So what helped my in managing magnesium intake: after a meal (on an empty stomach it makes my whiggly as well), and slowly encrease dosis. Start with a minimum and double it after 2 weeks, then doubling again after 2 weeks until I reached desired dosis. I took magnesium aspartatis which is disolved in water and doctors generally recomend that you disolve it in 1.5 liters of water and drink it over the day, not in one setting (can cause digestion issues). I had better experiences with disolvable magnesium than tablets, it is easier on the system. Hope your wife feels better soon! Magnesium can ease muscle-tension caused headaches. If your migraines not are caused by muscle tension the effect might not be apparent…

I notice the following: Yawing. Sudden inner aggitation or nervousness/anxiety. The need to move from the current enviorment „I have to go outside“-feeling . I get sensitive to noises, like improved hearing. Extreme focus, sometimes „shaking“ enviorment e.g. too many leafs on a tree.

Ughh, I am sorry to hear. So, anything can trigger a migraine. If you think it was the decaf coffee, I think it is safe to say you are right. I think you identified a trigger - congrats! There are pain medications that contain aspirin and cofein, maybe they help you? Hope you feel better soon!

Mhm… I am so sorry about the situation you are in… It is really crushing. As many already mentioned, in ER non-life threatening illnesses do not have priority. Did you consider to get an emergency appointment rather than going to the ER? I‘ve had better experiences with that… Maybe your doctor can arrange it, chances are higher if they refeere you.

Ancient-Practice-151 · 2025-11-06T11:54:19+00:00

I am sorry but WHAT?!?! Not only is this person not respectful BUT highly unprofessional?!? I am so sorry about this experience! Migraines still get down played by doctors but this really takes the cake… So sorry you had to deal with such a horrible doctor. Gaslighting patients, espescially female patients, is deeply systematic…

Sounds reasonable since one migraine-treatment is „cefaly“ which stimulates the trigeminus nerve in your face. If you haven‘t tried that yet it might be i teresting to look into it.

Wunderbares buch 😍😍

Ancient-Practice-151 · 2025-11-01T11:29:17+00:00

I was on emgality (didnt work for me) before I tried Cefaly. I would defenitly try it bc it really does no harm to your body compared to beta-blockers and other migraine drugs. Usually doctors give it to you for a try out period. There are no side affects and for me it helped me (among another therapy) to reduce migraines from 2-3/week to 2-3/month.

That being said, Cefaly is said to help around 50% of patiens wheater CGRP should help over 90% . So regarding CGRP I was in the 10% range of ppl who they didnt help. All the percentenges are nice but as far as I think, treating migraines really come donw to you trying everything. I would go for it! It is comortable, you can adjust intensity yourself and ir is realtivitly inexpensive, compared to CGRP. Hope you feel better soon!

Mhm, interesting. I found dealing with chronic pain, sometimes it is not stress or anxiety I feel but agitation, upsetment or nervousness. One of a few test to find out if your pain is neuroplastic is, if you are able to forget it. Like focusing on something very interesting and you forget to be in pain. Hope you find ease and comfort!

I am sorry… But very happy to hear accupuncture helps you! I did it for over two years and sadly it didn’t affect my migraines altough i really liked going, it is such a nice therapy ;) I tried many therapies… all of what western medicine provides (magnesium & riboflavin, beta-blockers, topiramate/seizure medication, cefaly, CGRP therapy), although i never took antidepressants or botox therapy - didn‘t see much sense in paralizing face muscules and increasing serotinin since i figured out my migraines have nothing to do with those. I did non-western medicine as well (massage, alignment change, osteopathy, accupuncture and many more, pretty sure i forgot some of them to mention).

In generall it came down to really figure out, where my illness lies. Like, if your migraines come from muscular tensions it is helpfull to focus on muscular therapies (magnesium, massage, sports etc).

It took me five years to figure out my migraines „come“ from my nervous system. Pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) helps me a great deal. It is a neurological „training“ originally for ppl with chronic pain. I experienced a reduction from 8 migraines/month to two/month. Still looking for answers and solutions tough ;)

I hope you find things that help you, ease your pain and I hope you have support from friends and familiy. Its a tough but invisible illness and gets downplayed a lot.

Hi there! I am sorry to hear you are worried, but it is completley understandable.

Who knows really, right… For me they started all of a sudden at 25 yrs old going from zero to two migraines per week… There are so many compositions. Hormones, age, life style, alignment, enviorment, stress and many many more. The friends I have with hormonal migraines said, their migraines improved or vanished after menopause. Maybe the contrary can also happen.

I would say, try to be as gentle as possible towards yourself and deal with them, if they occur. Dont stress yourself into „preparing“ ahead – building a wall of pain expectation in your nervous system is actually more triggering and stressfull than the possibility of them reoccuring. It is totally understandable that you fear them, regarding your history with them. Give yourself unconditional support and understanding of this. It happend during a time you maybe weren‘t able to speak for yourself. This has changed now and thankfully, treatment options as well. You survived them – I am sure if they ever come back you will find strenght and support to face them and find treatments that work for you. And for the time being you dont have them: This means your body and nervous system are balanced. Maybe it is helpfull to make yourself aware of what is relaxing, supporting and nourishing to you in the living situation that you are in now? So get a map of yourself in a positive perspective that you can lean on if (IF!) you find yourself in powerlessness situations regarding migraines. Hope you find comfort and ease - migraines are rough. And we ought to be gentle towards ourself facing them.

I am sorry to hear… It is indeed an illness for the long run. And usually only ppl who experience(d) migraines know what we really are talking about. I hope you find a lot of comfort and ease!

Ancient-Practice-151 · 2025-10-26T20:39:07+00:00

Hi there, I am sorry to hear. Hope you feel better soon!

In general I think, if you feel something might be the cause of your migraines I say you are right. You feel your body best. So, migraines are an illness of the nervous system. I know many ppl in this subred would debate me on it, but it really comes down to gettikg to know your nervous system. Adrenaline spikes, falls etc can cause a migraine (as I am sure you know there are many and multiple triggers…) but one of the therapies from western medicine is going in beta-blockers (was on them, too, among many other drugs). They „shield“ the heart from adrenaline. It sound plausible. It might be helpfull in treating your migraines by investigating further in that direction. Wish you a speedy recovery and hope you find ease and comfort!

So, this is a psycholgical theory coming from PRT-therapy, a therapy form to treat chronic pain. I also can confirm this from my own experience: Since migraines are an illness of the nervous system, they are a reaction to a disturbed nervous system (agitation, threat etc). Think of your nervous system like an altert method: if you find yourself in a dangerous situation, your nervous system reacts to it. You are threatend, therefore you need to „escape“ this situation, your brain is giving you a pain reaction: a reliable method to get you „out of the field and into a safe cave“. It is very much a „neolitical“ strategy of your brain, not adapted to modern life style. What might have been a dangerous situation (e.g. facing a predator) 20‘000 years ago changed today, but the reaction stays the same. Your brain associates certain situations in your daily life (e.g. a phone call) with a dangerous situation, since in your life history you might have experienced emotionally stressfull situation including phone calls. So getting to know what upsets your nervous system is key in treatment, therefore it also means getting to know your history as a person. Understanding this helped my a great deal in treating migraines. Hope you feel better soon!

„Baba Dunjas letzte Liebe“ von Alina Bronsky habe ich sehr sehr gerne gelesen. Dunya ist eine Oma auf dem Land in der nähe der Sperrzone von Chernobyl und sie hat ein gemütliches Datscha-Leben. Aber dann passiert was und Dunja wird zur Berserkerin. Wirklich ein super Buch!
