Hoo boy. Do any of you folks get migraines? I've had a rager all day. I've tried all my usual tricks, caffeine, hot shower, nap, light excercise, prescription drugs... nothing is working. My Mom told me once that at the Dermatologist office she used to work at they would inject Botox into the throbbing veins that often accompany a migraine headache. It would kill the vein and help with the pain. That sounds very appealing to me as there is one specific vessel on the right side of my forehead that goes crazy, pulsating tsunamis of pain into my cerebellum.

On a happier note, I met, on 2 separate occasions, 2 SG friends yesterday. One for the first time and one who I have had the pleasure of hanging out with a handful of times. For all the times I am less than thrilled with this site, I have to admit that it has facilitated the meeting of some cool new people. Sometimes I feel weird using the internet for such a purpose, but I guess that's how things go nowadays. I hope to meet more of you fine folks in the future.

Thank you

I used to get crazy migraines, they even made me vomit--it was really gross...Anyways, I was takinng Imitrex when I got them, but the problem was I was getting about one or two per month...I went through testing and tried different meds, and then my doctor made me keep a journal and kind of figured that anxiety may have been causing the migraines to come on...I started taking effexor, which is a anti-anxiety med, and I haven't had a mirgraine since...Isn't that crazy? So maybe you should find what triggers them and treat them that way...

I had such a rad time with you and your girl...You two are the sweetest ever and I feel wicked lucky to have met you two... wink

I usually just drink half a bottle of NyQuil, then when I wake up 3 days later, I feel much better.
