Not for me, but for Adam, which is bad enough. I was going to try to email LauraSue for resources but alas, she's taken her email out of her profile. Then I figured that there's enough people on here who suffer from the cussed things that someone might be able to offer some help.

Basically, I'm looking for good message boards and websites for dealing with very frequent migraines. Adam's had MRIs and such and they've basically ruled out everything, so he apparently has migraines.

They prescribed him Imitrex, which works like an absolute dream. The problem, though, is that they can't give him enough of it. His prescription is for 9 pills a month. He blew through those 9 in 2 weeks. The insurance won't allow him a refill until it's been a month, so he went to the doctor, and they gave him 5 samples to tide him over. Well, he has 1 left, and a wicked headache, and he can't get a refill for another 6 days. That's a lot of freakin' pills in a month's time, so it's obvious that SOMETHING else has to be done to try to get this under control.

I know I could Google, but I figured I'd ask you guys first. If anyone can point me in the direction of some good migraine-management websites that don't have contradictory information to confuse me, that would totally rock.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
