Migraine OH Migraine....

Struggling with migraine early in the morning..so this is what i did ...Start searching medication for migraine....

It is characteristic of migraine that people have episodic attacks of multiple symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound) but they go back to their usual state of health in between attacks. Medication overuse headache, in contrast, is a dull constant headache which is often worse in the morning. It is present on most days or part of every day. It is possible to have medication headaches most days with episodic migraine pain superimposed on the ‘headache‘.
For many people, painkillers are a safe and effective way of treating headache or other pain.
If you have regular migraine you will most likely experience an attack once or twice a month. Sometimes an additional less severe headache may develop or the migraine attacks may become more frequent.
The pain and discomfort you are feeling every day means that you will be increasing your dosage of painkilling medications due to the development of tolerance (when your body becomes used to the drug so it stops being as effective.) This can then lead you into a process where the drugs are actually making your headaches worse and more frequent. This process is called ‘rebound phenomenon’.
