[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1078737, member: 43502"] Agreed, food/diet has a lot to do with migraines. I've been getting migraines for years and started with meds, then went to a nutritionist, then to acupuncturist & herbalist, then just oxygen with no luck. Just last year I was put on Topamax which is technically classified as an anti-epileptic, but is known for the prevention of migraines. It won't stop a migraine once in progress, but if taken regularly, can help slow them and make them less intense. I very rarely get migraines now and have almost no side effects from this medication. It's been a real life saver for me! I'm sure your wife knows to take it easy on the ibuprofen, right? After years and years of taking them, it tore my stomach up and actually put a hole in the lining. Now I have to take two different meds to help with the stomach pain and I can't eat spicy food, which I love. Over9 - I hope you're feeling better...let us know what your doc thinks. [/QUOTE]
