Migraine treatment?
Apr 27^th, 2010 at 12:44am

My girlfriend get migraines 2 or 3 times weekly. Sad

They are NOT CH's. No known triggers. She complains of many of the same pain areas affected by the Trigeminal Nerve. OTC migraine meds do not help. Energy drinks do not help. Wondering if an trex inj (2 mg using the Imitrex Tip) might be worth trying for her? Any suggestions? Undecided

No o2 available. Thanks in advance

Wishing everybody at CH.com less pain w/ more productivity in their lives in 2019

Reply #5 - Apr 27^th, 2010 at 9:34am There are some people who have migraines and oxygen does help (E'dubs' wife, Joanna comes to mind). That being said, I've tried O2 for migraines. As long as I'm on the oxygen, it helps, but as soon as I quit, I'm back to square 1. Agrees with others about using Imitrex without cardio exam.
