  • I don't think any medicine will help o_o

    This lady wasn't sucky but I really have to share as myself and the Pharmacist laughed the whole day over it.

    A lady came in aged around 50 - 60 and saw a poster behind the counter about migraine relief. As she was buying her goods this conversation took place.

    Her: Oh are those new pills for migraine?
    Me: Yes they've just been made avaliable to be purchased. You needed to see a doctor to have them prescribed before.
    Her: My mother suffers terribly from migraines and nothing works. She's tried the diets and all the therapys but nothing helps, would it help her?

    ( These pills aren't recommended for people over 60 so her looking old made me think her mum would be too old for them)

    Me: They're not really suitable for everyone. How old is your mother?
    Her: Oh she died
    Me:.....ok

    I really didn't know what to say to that! she made it sound like she was asking for advice for someone living.

    And she said that with a straight face?




    Actually, that sounds like something my mom would do ....

      Somehow, I think her mom no longer suffers from anything. Much less, migraines.

        I'm going to be really pissed off if I have to still suffer from migraines when I die! God and I will have words!

            Well...being dead is about as effective a headache cure as I've ever heard of.

              Thats a bit confusing.
              No way or excuse around it either that would not make it sound so ridiculous.

                Maybe her mum's ghost is hanging around, complaining of migraines, and it's bugging her.

                    Ok... I have to ask, since I get horrid migraines (and I'm very much so under 60, since I just turned 29 on the 4th)....

                    What is the migraine medication that you're talking about in this? It's something that you used to have to get a Rx for but is now OTC?

                    Thanks!

                      It sounds like they're a recently released pill, available by prescription only, but the poster is merely promotional material to make people go to their doctor and go "Gimme this one!"

                        OK, here's all I could think of. Maybe she was actually asking about her own migraines threw the "I have this friend with a problem..." method using her mom as the friend. Then when you asked about her mom she forgot she was just fishing for information about the product and told you the truth.

                        Yeah, it's a stretch. But what explanation for this wouldn't be?

                        If only all children took this good of care of their dead mothers. Ungrateful...

                            EDIT: Oh darn... only OTC in the UK. Guess I'll stick with AC&C from Canada for now. :P

                              That's Imitrex in the US. Very much by Rx only, and very expensive if you don't have insurance (about $20 per pill).
                              Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
