    That's Imitrex in the US. Very much by Rx only, and very expensive if you don't have insurance (about $20 per pill).
    It's cheaper than it used to be. When I was first put on Imitrex 10 years ago, it was $50 per pill for the 100mg tablets. But still.... my problem is that I get really bad migraines and my insurance will only cover a small amount of migraine medication.

        Ahhh, Imitrex it even worked on the migraine I got from the concussion. I was a happy girl when that happened.

          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!
          I know what you mean. I had a severe one just a few days ago -- the nausea, the throbbing pain from behind my left eye, the complete and total lack of energy -- I really thought I was going to start crying and/or hurling.



          Migraines after you're already dead. I guess that would be one possible idea of hell.

            Since one of my BF's suggested 'cures' for a headache (or wrist, ankle, hip, any pain anywhere) is 'just cut it off, then it'll stop hurting' I sincerely hope that being dead is a migraine cure. It's not one that I'm eager to try (except in the wallows of a particularly painful migraine), but it's a future option.

              If you have migraines, try to find an herb called feverfew. It's a specific remedy against migraines.

                bardicwench, I used to get really bad migranes too. I still get bad headaches when I'm PMS'ing. One medication that I used to take was called Imitrex, and my doc gave it to me (prescription). It stopped the pain, but not the nausea, and it would just knock me right out. But still, it was much better than having to suffer through the headaches.
                This is something that you might want to ask your doc about.

                Oops, didn't realize someone else had posted about it already. But be prepared to have a good sit down with your doc and discuss medications with them. Oh and ask about side effects too, as well as drug interactions.

                  To quote Arthur Dent from HHGttG,

                  I don't want to die now, I've still got a headache. I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it.

                    Over the past few days, I've been reading a lot of books and articles on dealing with grief.

                    Just last night, I was reading about one of the stages, which is denial. I read that the person will still talk about the person, and the things they did, in the present tense, as if they are still alive.

                    Maybe her Mom died recently and she's still in that denial stage?
                    Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.
