This completely sucks. And I'm frustrated with the going to the Dr's and not having an answer....So I go back on the 7th. Damn insurance company wants me to front $400 for the deductible not being met for the MRA. Tell me why I have insurance?

I used to get migraines really bad in junior high and high school but haven't had any since having braces.

If none of the medication works, try something alternative like a chiropractor or acupuncturist.

None taken, I have pretty thick skin.

I called my D.O. buddy and he said that a lot of people are seeing great results with Divalproex Sodium (Depakote). Its more preventative than pallative, ask your doc about it.

So how do you prevent from something happening, if it doesn't happen all the time.

I get them every few months. Since I lopped off my finger a few years back I have nerve pain that gets really bad sometimes so I have an bottomless T3 prescription. 2 of those, it goes away and i sleep it off for a bit and I'm good to go

T3 is what i have for my wisdom tooth ache (getting pulled thursday). It causes severe jaw pain and migraines. I take one of those and im good to go...i haven't tried taking 2, that would really mess me up.
