I'm sorry to hear that you have migraines!. It is a real pain in the rear, I've had them since I was 12 years old!.
As I got older my migraines became chronic and I now take a medication that constricts the blood vessels in my head to help prevent them!.
Imitrex never worked for me, I used to take Axert for them however my insurance won't pay for it so I now take Maxalt!. Something else you may want to try when you have a migraine is putting an ice pack on your forehead for about 20 minutes, that can help too!.
I understand about being jealous of your brothers and sisters!. I have all the medical conditions that my mom has and my brothers and sisters don't!. It just doesn't seem fair!. In fact some of the conditions I got from my mom are far worse for me than her!.
I'm glad that the Tylenol and anti-nausea medication seems to be working for you!. If they don't continue to help and the Imitrex isn't working, you may need to see your doctor for something stronger!.
Good luck!

You could go see a neurologist- or at least tell your primary doctor the Imitrex didn't work!.!.!. there are other drugs in the same family that might work that are just a little different (zomig, relpax, maxalt etc)!.
It's good to keep a headache diary to find out your triggers- maybe it's hormones, maybe it's food you eat, rain & thunderstorms, or staying up late & lack of sleep that seem to bring them on- if you keep a calendar w/ this information you can figure out how to prevent & treat them better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
