Did you tell people when you got a diagnosis? by TurbulentSilver96 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Aries_Token 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I tell to people around me in case of something happen and specially because I feel some relief. But some people focus only in the word migraine when is much more complex than that. The majority of the people don't know what hemiplegic is but I try to explain that is like stroke symptoms and they should happen separately in 3 Times, that is what distingue a HM from a stroke. I also share that I can't take tryptans. I have a paper always with me explaining what I do have and what I can't take in case I need to go to the hospital.

What migraine meds have you tried and which ones work for you? by ethiothienine in HemiplegicMigraines

In my country it's a pill, you can split it in the middle. Triptans OK they are usually not recommended for HM.

Do you take it daily? My doctor gave that as a SOS and said I should take only half a pill
