A liter of NS always helps my migraines. My neurologist recommended it with the toradol combo and it's never failed. Never a lab indicator for needing it, just helps.

Yes, but the difference is you're probably not bemoaning how "dehydrated" you are. It's well known to anyone that's been around for a minute that a fluid bolus can help with migraines. Totally not what I'm talking about.
I drink tons of water--TONS--and I never felt so much improvement so quickly as when I got two liters NS in the ER. Of course, I had pyelonephritis, but still. The cooling sensation + hydration = instant relief. (And no, it wasn't the pain meds--asked for no narcotics, got Toradol.)
I am confused. You had pan, were given an extremely effective pain medication, and got pain relief. There could be a connection here.
Hhern, it won't let me quote you, but this is in response to your "question"/criticism of my response. I could tell a difference between the pain relief I felt from the Toradol and the cooling sensation from the hydration. My point in even mentioning the Toradol was more to say: I wasn't loopy from narcs.
It works wonders for my migraines, too! Then a toradol/reglan combo, and I'm good to go! I don't always go to the ED with my migraines...just the ones that will not break.
