Thank you all for the suggestions & insight! I was really shocked when they actually said it was a Migraine.

I will definately start doing a journal to see if I can pinpoint a trigger.

Rachel~Thanks for mentioning the amitriptyline! I actually have a script for that for IBS. It also works for that! I took it for a few days but haven't since. I'll have to talk to the doc to see if I can take it for both the Migraines & IBS. Providing it works for me, it would be nice if I would only have to take one med since I am awful about remembering to take them.

I'm not too sure about Imitrex. I'm kindof nervous about that one! DH has Migraines & took Imitrex for awhile. He ended up developing a heart condition. His electrophysiologist & cardiologist both think the Imitrex & Lamisil (for nail fungus) he was taking *might* have caused the issue. But they have no way of proving it except that he had no issues before taking the two. So that just makes me a little nervous, yk. Actually taking any med freaks me out now! lol

Thank you all again! I appreciate it very much! I feel so much better today! I feel well rested today after not sleeping well those 4 days. No head pain so far today! WooHoo!
