...good for headaches depending on the type of headache.
Asprin meh, prefer ibuprofen.
Having trialled Sumatriptan I found it is good for migraine, but it causes pretty bad joint pain which is probably a bad omen for me but don't think that's MECFS related because as JE has said we don't...
...helps me sleep better, but it upsets my stomach so I take it rarely.
I used to take an extremely overpriced product called Migralex for migraines and anticipatory next day delayed PEM migraines which worked if the trigger wasn’t too severe. Migralex went out of business many years ago...
@Trish has basically written my submission for me!
The only differences are that my response to physical exertion isn't as severe (I need to rest but not be in bed), and I've never had a migraine.
Perhaps imagine being hungover, jet lagged and having the flu or a migraine, and going on the dodge-ems, but the dodge-ems are a on fast-forward and the music is loud and obnoxious.
...enough to only the hypothalamus bits that potential increased load on the executive function from dealing with the equivalent of a migraine/sensory could impact
I'm a bit intrigued because really surely the only way you can actually conclude something is related to sleep, circadian rhythm...
...and faded as a term too.
Many say you can tell a pwme by their eyes and I think that's generally true (like someone who has flu and a migraine trying to hide it at a job interview), over the assumption someone will always be walking slowly or seem sleepy.
I was thinking on the FM inclusion...
...time. I went back to school in the autumn term - weaker but largely recovered. And then I developed slowly other symptoms, starting with migraine and chronic fungal infections, recurrent tonsillitis, some PEM, variable weakness etc over time. Until late 20s when I collapsed.
Since that...
It has been suggested that the tricyclic clomipramine is useful for treating hyperacusis. Has anyone else noticed tricyclics affecting sensitivity to sound (or other sensitivities)? Has anyone experience specifically with clomipramine?
@wastwater posted a link to an article about clomipramine...
The Grimson paper is much better powered (n~30 per group I believe compared to n~4 here). The two papers disagree in the abundances of immune cells types. This threads paper reports significantly decreased monocyte and NK cell abundances and increased T cell abundance. Grimson et al report...
Thanks for posting Sasha and for reading. :) It is comforting to know its not just me but sorry to hear you have similar migraines of course and for the pain you also suffer :hug: for which I offer my commiserations.
I ramble, sorry, confuse myself more often than not, so I try not to be too...
I also have migraines on what appears to be normally roughly a weekly a cycle (three days on, some days off), but have managed to mitigate it somewhat by twice-daily Epsom salt footbaths (oral magnesium doesn't seem to do anything for me, possibly for reasons of poor GI absorption). Severity has...
Does anyone know how this compares with the much larger and probably more rigourous study by Andrew Gelman(?) in the Maureen Hansen group? I seem to remember that one came out with a surprising finding it it was all about monocytes. Sorry, I’ve got a migraine, no chance of link
I've been taking 10mg amitriptyline for a couple of years - it was suggested by a neurologist to reduce sound and touch hypersensitivity and migraine-like symptoms, and I think it has helped somewhat with that. But I'd like to try coming off it now. Not sure whether I'd need to taper off from...
...such that you are exhausted at first then because more symptoms hit a bit later you assume you caught something.
the other is the classic migraine every Friday - which is probably PEM and some sort of just cumulative exhaustion and by Friday you’ve either had enough control you scrape...

I am a lie down flat type. Mostly it is because I feel bad but lying flat also sometimes moderates pain or fatigue levels. Measuring "time spent lying flat" would be a interesting stat. I suspect most of our cases are complex enough that it be difficult to say this flat lying measurement is...
