Well, Darn

Migraines suck. A lot.

I'll be back when it doesn't feel like I've got an icepick in my eye.

Also, if anyone's had any luck with any serious migraine meds, I'd love to hear what they are. The Maxalt is only being fitfully effective these days.

I don't know if you can buy it in your country but in the UK Syndol used to work wonders for me. I think they changed it slightly a few years ago, but it's still more effective than any other over the counter painkillers.

I keep meaning to say thank you so much to you again - you suggested Syndol to me a couple of years ago and it's made a ton of difference; it really works for me. Doesn't stop the pain, but at least I can carry on instead of lying on the bathroom floor moaning pathetically *g*

Good to know it works for you. I shall definitely pick some up the next time I'm in the UK.

I'm so glad it did help you and you're right, it might not stop the pain (though to begin with it did for me) but it sort of numbs you enough to get through a day and the original used to knock me out for sleeping which was a good because if you slept really well it might have broken the pain-path (or whatever it's called). But I don't think the 'improved' version does so much.

Most over the counter stuff doesn't work for me any more, but I will put Syndol on my list of things to pick up next time I'm in the U.K. Anything is worth a shot.

For reasons I won't bore you with I'm not able to get out very easily or very often, but would you like me to pick up a box when I can and send it to you? Failing that, for speed, could you get it over the internet? We seem to be able to get most things that way. Also, just a point of interest, I've found that Syndol is stronger than any post-op painkillers we've had on prescription in the last few years.

You are very kind to offer, but I wouldn't want to put you out. I do think a good friend is going over to London for a conference in a month or two, so I can get her to pick me up a box.

In the meantime, I'm going to get my doctor to try me on a different migraine med. Can't hurt, and it might help.
