Here we go

Since spring sprung early, I've been having problems with migraines. Since I started my allergy shots 10 years ago, the severity and frequency decreased dramatically. For the times when I did get them, my family doctor at the time suggested trying 2 acetaminophen and 2 ibuprofen before he would prescribe anything stronger. This worked for the most part up until the last couple months. What worked before lessened the symptoms at best. I was living with a migraine for about 3 weeks (Mom, correct me if I have the length of time wrong).

I finally saw my family doctor about 2 weeks ago*. She prescribed Naproxen** twice a day until I see her next month and massage therapy. She gave me a trial of rizatriptan benzoate to take at the first symptoms of a migraine. I've been taking the Naproxen for two weeks, had my second massage therapy appointment today and just had to take my first dose of rizatriptan benzoate a couple minutes ago. Let's see how this works.


*Took that long to get an appointment with her
** Basically a stronger version of Aleve
