I've got an Rx for them. I've suffered for years. Call your doc's office and see what they say. Feel better.

I've had Migraines since I was 5, and have taken Advil or years. Now I can only take liquid Tylenol....no more NSAIDs since surgery. I've found a very little Tylenol works remarkably well, since my surgery...taking care of lower back pain like magic. Fortunately, I've not had a Migraine since my surgery (a significant miracle!), so I don't know how well it will work on one of those. I hope you get some relief!!

I've suffered from Migraines since I was 9 years old. I've tried every over-the-counter medication and the only thing that seems to work for me is Excedrin Migraine. It's acetaminophen 200 mg, aspirin 250 mg, caffeine 65 mg. I just take the aspirin and acetaminophen combination because I get caffeine headaches.

I was told no caffeine and no asprine. Tylenole didn't touch it. I had some lortab left over that has pushed it away a little, but that won't help with future attacks. Mine seem linked to TOM. Thank god not every month though.

Excuse my language but f over ther counter! I am a sufferer and there are several things. Maxalt 10mg sublingual, Imitrex offer a subq self injection or if you want an anti inflam ibrofen type try Toradol also available injection. All these require scripts. But aren't oral so should be ok!

I have had Migraines for 20plus years, I am on daily meds to avoid and I have Imitrex for when i do get one, I am able to swallow half of one, because crushing them was a nightmare,both need prescriptions but it was worth getting them, you shouldn't continue to suffer with them.There are a lot of different meds you can take to help. I am at 21 days post op and swallowing it has not caused any problems.Good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
