Migraines are an absolutely horrible medical problem to have. From the searing excruciating pain that comes from nowhere, or the kind that slowly and steadily builds from environmental triggers. Those who suffer from migraines really do suffer. One such sufferer is yours truly. From migraines that last a few hours to those that last weeks, all are truly evil. Some of my common triggers are sugar, stress, and strong smells like car exhaust or cigarette smoke.

One thing those who don’t have migraines need to know is NO- Migraines are NOT JUST HEADACHES. They wreak your vision, sense of smell, make you dizzy, nauseous, vomit- they ruin life. There are different kinds of migraines, and people suffer with them in different ways. And just because your cousin’s sister’s neighbor’s Aunt Mary feels better if she lies in a dark room, doesn’t mean I will, but thank you. Yes, we have tried every folk cure out there. Migraines are evil.

Relief can be hard to find, and even harder when suffering. One of the most recent things I have tried is Stopain Migraine. Stopain is a topical gel which is applied directly behind your ears and along the back of your neck. Here is a short video on how to apply Stopain Migraine. Stopain does not include aspirin, caffeine, or acetaminophen, and there is no chance of drug interaction, so it can be used with your current medications without any worries. This is a great relief because one of the dangers of migraine medication is double dosing just to get some relief. Stopain can be applied at any stage of the migraine and begins to work as soon as it is applied. It can be applied as needed up to four times daily. It eased the migraine pain for a bit. The gel is cool to the touch and works immediately.

Stopain is available at Walmart now, and there is also a coupon on the box for $2 off to sweeten the deal. It is also available at Walmart.com and www.stopainmigraine.com as well.

Many of you know I get migraines. Migraines are NOT “just headaches”, as anyone who as ever gotten one (or lives with someone who gets them) that they are no joke. They are really debilitating, and can come with auras, blind spots, flashing lights, spots, lines, fuzziness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pain on one or both sides, the whole head, neck and shoulders- it really varies. Some people get one kind, some get more then one. The more kinds you get, the more difficult they are to deal with or medicate properly.

A very basic definition- “A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins.”

Doctors don’t really know all that much about them and what causes them, so people who live with regular migraines often don’t have much of a choice but to deal with the pain- there are not a lot of great options if nothing is working. Most migraine medications given are really for something else, like seizures, depression, epilepsy, or etc.

Recently the FD approved Botox for the treatment of migraines and other disorders, like lazy eyes, bladder dysfunctions, spasticity, multiple sclerosis, and more. I have tried everything, so I called my doctor to talk about it.
