Title: migrelief
Post by ericM on Apr 20^th, 2007, 2:24pm

Has anyone used it, and has it worked for you? I found an article about it in a book during one of my sessions. Ever since then I've been buying them, or bottles similar to them. As long as they have the same ingredients. The ingredients are Magnesium, B2 and feverfew. My last were in the end of the summer 2005. No attacks since then. (I’m knocking on wood now) But I've skipped last year which rocks and I'm hoping to skip this year too. The pills are about $15 to $20 dollars a bottle, but well worth the cost if it keeps the beast away. Let me know if anyone else has used this. The only thing is you have to take it twice daily, and it takes about a month to start to work.
Here's a link if anyones interested.

A quick warning, if you are a salesman, leave now! Before it gets really ugly.

That being said, I've never taken your product but for many years have been on a daily regimen of B-2, magnesium, calcium and Vit D. No claims as to the cause and effect but my cycles have been fewer, less severe, and with the exception of this last one, shorter. I've seen several posts about magnesium and B vitamins so I suppose there is promise there.

One last warning, if you're a snake oil salesman looking for a quick buck begin running rapidly, staying low, in a serpentine fashion as the shots will be flying past you. If you're a siincere sufferer sit down, intro yourself and chat with us.

sorry Eric, but I tried those and did nothing for me, they are sold at GNC and other health stores with different names...I am glad they work for you..

Didnt do anything for my husband, he tried taking it for a while then stopping it for a while, no difference made to his CH cycle.

Do you have CH ? or migraine ? how long have you been diagnosed for ? what other meds are you on if any ? what are your attacks like and how bad/long they are ?

Have you tried oxygen ?

Hey I'm sorry if I came across as a salesman. I'm not. I'm just trying to share what has stopped the beast for me (for now at least). I've had CH for 18 years now. Any thing that could stop the beast from coming even for a year is great to me. My last bout was really bad, and I thank God for the year and a half for the relief. I know people skip cycles, maybe it’s a fluke, but It's the only thing that's changed. When the time for my cycle came and past I did feel a bit of twinge a few times but nothing came through.
I've tried a whole bunch of different things, from (excuse my spelling) Bitabutal, prednisone, Imtrex, to Frova. The combo of prednisone, and Frova has worked the best for me for the pain. But nothing I've taken has ever stopped a cycle. Until now, and again I'm not sure if its the pills or a fluke. I wish you all luck with your own bouts of CH.

Skipping cycles is not unheard of. If I were a betting woman I'd put my money on that rather than the OTC pills.

Glad you are PF though. Thats what counts.
