Treatment for Migraines

Recently I sought medical treatment for the headaches that I was having and to my surprise the physician diagnosed me with migraines. I was shocked when he confidently said that I was having cluster headaches. As he explained the similarities of my symptoms with the research he had done, I listened in disbelief. For many years my former doctor had always treated me as a chronic sinusitis patient, why was this new medical specialist taking a different view of my fifteen year problem? My new health care physician backed his diognosis up when the CT scan that he ordered returned with no signs of infection.

There was not much hope when I discovered that the only solution he had to offer was prescription medications that cost about $15 to $18 per pill. This type of suggested treatment to combat the migraine headaches was not acceptable in relation to the finances that I had at the time. Because of the horrible economic slow down we are experiencing in the United States and especially in Sarasota Fl, I had to forfeit all of my health insurance benifits with Blue Cross and Blue Shield a long time ago.

The medications that he prescribed for treatment were Imitrex and Maxalt. After providing me with several samples of these non-narcotic prescription drugs, I was convinced that he had given me the correct medications for treating the migraines but, I knew that unless he could continue to provide me with an on going supply, I'd soon be using the same old over the counter medications that left me helpless in the face of a migraine attach.

Soon after seeing the doctor on my last visit, the migraines began to fade away. Because I could not afford the most recent medications that are popular for migraine treatment, he wrote me a script for a mild narcotic pain killer. They were able to get me through until the migraines stopped.
