mme_hardySeveral times in the last two months I've had runs of 3-4 migraine-free days in a row. This never happened. Never. The new med we added to the mix in early summer seems to have helped.
Neither my doctor nor I is happy with the number of different drugs I'm taking. I suggested we start a slow taper off the one I hate worst, Lyrica, which steals my words and my brain and causes continuous weight gain, plus the exhaustion that keeps me from exercising much.
Well. Last night I had the worst migraine I've had in over a year, and the painkillers didn't work. Usually I take preventatives all the time and abortives in the event of a migraine, and the result is that migraines sap me but don't hurt a lot. Last night I was thinking over and over, "I wish I could die", for hours, and vomiting frequently. Today I'm still in pain, although bearable.
I think Lyrica stays in the granny box at its old dosage.
