Right, yeah, I forgot to mention that my migraines were often followed by something I referred to as headache memory. By headache standards these were still pretty harsh, but compared to the migraine that had eased the day before, they were a walk in the park! I've read that it is best to not take anything for these as that will produce a rebound headache....pain goes away with the meds, bounces back worse when the meds are all used up....

Man, I almost forgot. There is a herb that I took for quite awhile that even the medical community has acknowledged is helpful for migraine headaches. For me a small amount each day was a good preventative, so that, while taking it the migraines I got were less frequent, less severe, and didn't last as long.

The herb is feverfew.

What I read indicated that long term use didn't cause any problems. I mentioned it to my doc when I first saw him, and he checked on his computer. That information even said that a high dose would treat an acute migraine effectively.

Good luck, ms. duck! I hope you're feeling super by tonight!
