The kind of 'migraines' that I get are somewhat misnamed; they are basilar artery type and require my vesels to open instead of constrict. So I can't take the regular stuff -- they could push me into a stroke! It's a pisser, huh?
I'm trying to get into a headache clinic so I can find out about taking a vasodilater (as opposed to vasoconstrictors like imitrex) when I feel an attack coming on.
