I woke up yesterday with a killer of a headache.
Naproxen kept the edge off most of the day, but by 3 in the afternoon, I knew it wasn't going to cut it. Since the doctor sent me home with a fist full of migraine samples after my checkup last month, I figured what better day to give 'em a shot.
Relpax? Sorry, nothing. (REALLY sorry, in fact.)
Maxalt? The pain was manageable, but I got very nauseous. At 8 I cracked open the box of
Imitrex, washed the little triangle pill down with a big glass of water, got Daniel upstairs and talked the two big kids into reading him stories for me, and dragged into the shower. I don't know if it was the hot shower, the little pill, exhaustion, or a combination of all three, but I was asleep within 5 minutes of hitting the sheets, and woke up wide awake and STARVING at 1:30.
I was also just a little stoned - weird. After spending about 45 minutes contemplating the
weird half-crease on my left thumb, I fell back to sleep, woke up at 7:05 and feel great today! I'm calling the doctor tomorrow for a
prescription.
Debra, you want see my black jeans? There ya go. ;o) I'll get a better picture, I promise. My head's looking a little wild right now, I have a hair appointment Friday so I'll share after that.

So Imitrex did it? Good to know. I don't get migraines very often and when I do I get the aura warning (unless it comes on at night while I'm asleep), but I like the way this med blasted it into the past so quickly for you. Good on ya!
my friend Sally has used Imitrex for a few years-she swears by the stuff. Good that you're feeling better.
