I have just started taking MigreLief. It is OTC and might be worth looking into.

Migraines can be controlled by medication & healthy diet "less cheese" & not messed up sleeping hours. You can still be in a band & have migraines don't be a drama queen :) it's only impossible when the episode happens & painkillers work perfectly if you took'em when pain first starts..

Oh, that sucks man. I went to a neurologist for mine, and she prescribed Frova, but they don't really seem to work for me. Migraines are bloody awful, and I can only imagine how much that would suck. Try keeping a diary/journal of when you get them and what you ate, as some foods can be a trigger (chocolate's a trigger for me, so now I avoid chocolate). I hope you can find a compromise =)

And that's when Bose headphones and sunglasses become your best friends!

Ummm you don't have a migraine every day of your life and there are numerous triggers but loud music is not one I know of. Find out your trigger(s) and avoid them. You can take meds as needed or a daily med. it's not life ending

You clearly are not this huge famous drummer. You play terrible covers of songs in your moms garage. Let's be real you are not going to be famous. People say you can be whatever you want but when you grow up you realize that isn't true. Sorry your "career" isn't really ruined because of this.

Ask your doc about slow release Propanalol. It's a heart med, but works well for preventing migraines. I got put on it and saw results in less than a week. Went from 3-4 migraines a week down to one every couple of weeks.

Go raw/vegan and your migraines will be gone... I swear it. Western medicine is very immature; don't buy into its bologna.

#72 I've had a child, and my migraines are worse. you've obviously never had a migraine. it isn't the same as a headache.
