I just had a bad bad migraine

[Johnny Vegas]

and asked my buddy for some herb and took a few rips out of a home made gravity bong(I remember making those back in my high school days and I didn't have enough to roll a J) and about 30 minutes later I am not sick and irritated anymore for ****ing the first time all ****ing day my migraine is gone!!!

In fact I now have an appetite and can finally eat something. Haven't had a meal all day because the migraine was so bad it had me hovering over the toilet every hour. I used to take hydro codone for them, but that shit made me puke.

I couldn't take the pain anymore so I had to find some herb to sooth the pain. Bayer, advil didn't help one bit and didn't want to take too much. I think I've found my help for my migraines.

Caffeine can be both a trigger and a cure.

When I suffered from cluster headaches (which, coincidentally stopped when I found out I was diabetic), one of the meds that worked for me was Ercaf, a prescription caffeine pill. It's a vasoconstrictor, used to treat vascular headaches like migraine.

Cluster headaches are like mini-migraines that occur multiple times a day for a minimum of three weeks. From the age of 17 to about 23 I had them four times a year. The worst one I had was sitting behind my right eye for about 2 weeks. I'd completely lost vision in that eye, and if looking at the eye you'd have thought I'd ruptured the artery... the pupil was about 1/2 the size of my other pupil, and there literally was no white to be seen.

Then... the headache switched sides. In a matter of about four hours, I'd lost vision in my other eye. I was completely blind.

My doctor and neurologist kinda freaked - my mom came up to college to get me, the doctors ordered a CT and MRI of my head, afraid I might have a brain tumor.

By the end of the ordeal, my doctors had me shooting lidocaine from a needle-less syringe up my nostrils, directly onto my sinuses, just trying to stop the pain.

That one lasted for just under a month. I was out of class for most of that time. I found that I could take a combination of menthol pads on my head and a prescription called indomethacin and could function somewhat, which allowed me to do some of my classwork.

In the years I had clusters, the only thing that worked for me all the time, was the indomethacin. It's usually prescribed as an arthritis medication. I had tried a number of prescribed narcotics, and they typically worked the first time. But they never worked after that. The indomethacin worked.
