Default Migraines - starting Gabapentin for now, seeking neuro asap

Well.

My stomach has revolted violently against further use of NSAIDs. I am going to do a 6-8 week diet to try to let my GI tract recover. This means no NSAIDs and there went my migraine medication.

In any case i've been having so many i had to "pick my battles" as far as medication - I really need a prophylactic, andi need a neuro, and an exemption so hopefully i won't have to keep shelling out for the meds.

Gabapentin has worked in the past as a prophylactic. I started it today - i had a moderate headache. I didn't expect it but it apparently worked directly... that or the migraine coincidentally ended.

In any case, i am ramping up Gabapentin for migraine prevention to 1200mg.

Tomorrow i will try to book the neuro i wanted but if he doesn't have anything soon, i'll call around. a lot of what i need is paperwork signed and stamped, plus some meds that aren't going to hurt my stomach. i'd like to try triptans.

~ waves ~ now losing it from a 3am dose of gabapentin.
