Imitrex/headache question?!


Question: Imitrex/headache question!?
ok so I asked a migraine question yesterday and I ended up at the doctor this morning!. they prescribed me imitrex as well as hooking me up to a holter heart monitor because my pulse was elevated and all that fun stuff!. I got home and my head was hurting so I took the imitrex as prescribed!. In about 30 minutes my jaw started to hurt, dull at first and then excruciating!. Shortly following that my neck started to hurt and then my arms!. I felt like I worked out for hours!. Then I started to get really groggy!. I ended up on the kid I nanny's couch semi unconscious and everything felt like it was moving reeeeeeeeally slow!. I'm feeling better now but I still have the blasted headache and my jaw is still achy! So I have 2 questions!.

1!. Has anyone else had this kind of effect with imitrex
and
2!. what should I do about the headache!?! Excedrin is the only thing that seems to work but my body doesn't handle the caffeine well at all!. I know that it's not too much sugar seeing as I'm insulin resistant and can't have sugar, it's not stress, it's not too much caffeine because like I said it has reeeeeally bad effects with me so any ideas would be great!

Thanks in advance!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There are about as many different theories on migraines out there, as there are treatments for them!.

One area where I personally have seen success is with chiropractic care!. This is because sometimes migraines aren't really originating in your head, but from pinched nerves in your spine!. Really if you think about it, it makes sense as well, since headaches in general aren't actually caused by your brain, but by various things affecting it (blood vessels, sleep, etc!.)

As I advise many sufferers of migraines, it's really worth a shot!. As with any other treatment, it's not fool proof, and if it doesn't work, you find yourself in the same situation you were in before hand!.

But if it does work, not only do you lose the migraines, you lose the need to take pain meds for them too!.
