Cait Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I take seratonin when I get like that and it works wonderfully. From Healthspan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Good luck Dawn I am sure they will be able to help. I use Migraleve Kool'n'Soothe forehead patches to help with migraines and both my sister and I swear by them. My GP gave me Diclofenac (v. strong painkiller) to take to relieve the pain and works very well. Also I find my migraines start up when I haven't drank enough water as well as stress and my GP recommends excercise and drinking lots of water to relieve too. I hope your situation is resolved soon, but make sure you taek care of yourself too. Best wishes, Lxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Good idea Dawn - and you can be quite specific with your doctor so that if he does sign you off it isn't for depression but for a stress-related illness. Which is after all what you're suffering from. Don't worry about how it will sit with the bosses - if they are putting you under intolerable pressure then this is the natural consequence. Hope your doctor is helpful and sympathetic. Take care Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 hi, Thanks all, The doctor was brilliant, i have been prescribed something to stiop the migraines befpre they even start so hopefully that should work. she said she would sign me off with stress but that in all honesty my problem would still be there when i went back so she asked me what i wanted to do.... i have agreed too stay at work and see how it goes.... but all in all im glad i went to the doctors.

dottyp Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I use 'fore head' if i feel the starts of a migrane (disturbed vision in my case) along with migraleve. The combination of the two usually works for me. dottyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
