    Accupuncture was a God-send for me!! Our insurance even covered it ( 'til we switched insurance coverages) -- Maxalt melts are very helpful -- except for the MEGA MIGRAINES that just knock me on my prat no matter what I try. We have tried every thing from anaprox to Dilantin, to neurontin to ..... My "needle man" was the best I was once carried into the office w/ a killer migraine -- had 2 half hour treatments w/ stim and left under my on power, laughing, talking and hungry!! (a whole different person). I'd give it try! What have ya got to loose?

    I have sufffered with chronic migraines since I was 13. I am 31 now. I have tried it all!! Believe it or not I find relief using Excedrin Migraine. It is very effective. Imitrex made me sick on the stomach. I tried Imitrex pills and nasal spray. Excedrine Migraine is my answer. I keep it with me at all times.
