My-graine

I’ve been battling my migraines without the wonderful Maxalt tablets I was prescribed a year or two ago, because they’re so damn expensive. This morning, having tossed the little there was in my stomach and grasping my head in despair, I rang the doctor for a new prescription. A walk in the sun (welcome, but a little hard on the eyes and the brain right now) later, I held 12 new minty flavoured tablets in my hand. My wallet remained in my back pocket. The new insurance covers ‘em. Oh bliss. So I sit here, feeling the drug take effect. It’s like putting in ear plugs, dimming the noise. The pain is still there, but the brain registers less and less of it, until - hopefully - it is entirely gone. This week, meant to be dedicated exclusively to book work, is not starting off too well.

  1. Have you heard of this stuff? http://www.phytome.com/Content/details.asp?sku=621267610605

    my wife uses it and finds that for her, it helps just as much as the drugs do. The migraine doesn’t go away, but it becomes possible get around and do things.
