I swear I've had the same migraine since April. I don't remember the last time I didn't have some type of migraine symptoms whether it was aura or pain. It could be allergies, but the air is much colder now and my head is killing me. Maybe it could be barometric pressure. I take Excedrin Migraine and sometimes it doesn't help as effectively as it once did. Now I'm back on Topamax and I don't know if that is so great either. It worked in the past, but now I'm on the same low dose and I think I'm going to have to take the doctor's advice and take two pills per day. If 50 mg doesn't work I don't know what will. Topamax is meant to act as a preventive measure. If anything, I've experienced an increase of migraine frequency. Not good at all.
My doctor gave me samples of this other prescription remedy called Relpax. It works, but I still feel like I have a migraine. It takes the pain away, but I feel sick and dizzy. Excedrin takes the pain away and I don't feel as dizzy. I still have other problems on that, though like aura. What a mess. I wish they would just go away and I wouldn't need to take any pills.

Sick of Pills

I know I've had a constant headache since I don't know when and nothing seems to help. I know for me, though, my eyes are changing, but it wasn't enough to warrant a new Rx in Feb. I bought some reading glasses for work, but that's being weird.
Hmm...I've been wondering about my eyes, too. My Rx did change a little, but not significantly enough where I feel I need new glasses. I got new contacts, but with my astigmatism, my glasses are actually better than the contacts. I'm NOT replacing my glasses unless I notice a difference. It's too expensive even with my insurance. :P I hope my vision isn't the problem. I think it has more to do with stress and hormones than anything. Which is equally annoying. ;)
