I haven't been around much lately.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to say I haven't been around on the forum lately.
I've been sick and had a severe migraine attack and ended up in hospital again.

Getting better now but still feel weak.

Also the usual work and family commitments have kept me a bit too busy lately but hopefully I will get back into the swing of things.

My apologies to all the posts and threads that I've missed out on replying to, there's just too much to catch up on but I'll do my best.

Hope you're all doing well.

I tell you RB !

time to marry off a couple of the kids
stop naming all the chickens
go to sydney and buy more stogies
and spend more time at the pony club

now be told !

and if that don't get rid of the migraines - it might be time to talk to Phill and get him to needle you

Doesn't sound any good RB! Welcome back. I usually find I'm quite fragile for a while after a migraine so I hope you get past that phase quickly too.

Al.

Had my first migraines around Christmas last year. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

Hope you're feeling better soon - they knock you around.

Migranes run in my family, so I sympathise with you RB.

One of my docs suffers from them too. She prescribed me 1.5 Naprosyn 500 to take as soon as I start to notice symptoms. It usually staves off my migranes. Another couple of 0.5 doses are allowed later if symptoms persist.

If you wait for the pain to start is is too late.

The doco than comes with Naprosyn specifically mentions the use of it for migranes.
