and so on. I cant break the cycle. If I could just break the cycle I can handle this, but its every day, and its one hour of visual migraine, then 20 minutes of relief, followed by 90 minutes of actual headache, followed by an hour of relief followed by 12 hours of migraine, ...and we start over again.

MD said its an electrical storm. The topamax will break the storm. 2 pills down. 50mgs. I feel blunted, and the headache while still here, feels blunted with me. lets see what a few more days brings.
I had a doc give me muscle relaxers for migraines once. I thought he was a quack. I can't recall exactly which one or the dosage. I do remember they made me lose weight because I didn't eat after work. I would come home, take them and go to sleep. I would go to bed at 6pm and not wake up until it was time to go to work. He even gave me Zoloft. I think my migraines were stress related. I used to get them almost daily. Now I rarely get them.
I hope migraines aren't directly related to ms. My migraines used to put me down for the count. I used to see spots and feel nausea with the unbearable pain. I don't think I could take the daily battle of ms along with migraines.

Keep us posted about the topomax. Hopefully it works for you and eliminates the pain completely.
