My Experience with DHE Migraine Treatment
So, to give a bit of background, I had a neurology appointment on January 2nd. Prior to this appointment, I’d had a constant migraine for about two months. Now, I’ve suffered from chronic migraines for years. I honestly can’t remember when I didn’t have them. For a very long time I thought that what I was experiencing was what everyone felt when they got a headache. However, this was the first time I’d had a migraine last for more than a few days. About two years ago my doctors and I began to look for a preventative medication to lessen my migraines and abortive medications for when a migraine came on. I’ve cycled through several medications with no success. I am currently am taking Gabapentin ( a seizure medication) as a preventative and using Excedrine Migraine as my abortive because it’s the only thing I’ve found to actually lessen my migraine. Any other abortive med has just put me to sleep and while I appreciate the rest, that’s not what I’m looking for. As for the Gabapentin, I was convinced it was yet another failure because it seemed like my migraines were increasing in frequency, and intensity, as if they were leading up to some big event.
