Swine Flu
I am sick of hearing about his with the half information they give us.
I think it might be better if they told people to be worried, then they might take better hygiene precautions.
People are dying from this thing and there is a wonderful idea to have Swine Flu parities, to get it over with. That's fine for the really healthy people, but who might you pass it on to. AND do you know if you have an underlying health problem??
I am desperate not to get it. I just don't need any more migraines.
when I had the flu at Christmas i had a terrible head for days.
Also I have FMS so I might get it worse with a lowered immune system....
Will somebody please level with us all....

MOH/Rebound. I dont think so.
Because of a really nasty stomache bug over Easter, I have had to be very careful what I take for my pain.
Whilst waiting for a blood test result re an ulcer (seems I dont have one), I tried to manage on no over the counter pain killers, and just Triptans for the migraines.
I went 15 days and only had 2 Excedrin/Anadin.
8 days and then 7 days.
This is much less than normal for me.
It was hard to cope but it showed me one thing.
How on earth can I have MOH?
They tell you that the drugs you take are the only thing that helps the pain and it comes back when the medication wears off. It seems that you take more and more, as the efficacy diminishes.
During this 2 week period, I had just as much head pain as ever, and wasn't taking the drugs.
I dont think I will give much thought in future to MOH. If I can go all that time without the drugs and not get any relief from the pain. I think that lets me off the hook.
GOOD!! There is enough anxiety with migraine without having to worry about how to get out of pain. None of us want to feel we might be making ourselves worse.
