Hello folks,
I am a ulcerative colitis patient with a serious migraine issue. The only thing that helps as an abortive is a NSAID like Ibuprofen, Neproxen etc. But they lead to GI discomfort that mimics ulcerative colitis flare and I end up with Prednisone course. I am trying all different possible options for controlling migraine but no avail so far. Verapamil 240mg a day has reduced frequency from every 3rd day to 2X-3X a month but when there is a migraine attack, a whole day or two are wasted. Tried butterbur extract for 5 months with no avail. Now, I am on the way to give Magnesium a try (as ulcerative colitis patients as well migraneuers are known to have low serum Mg). I read through a previous megathread on Magnesium and learned a lot but the thread is old and few links were dead so here I am to ask SPECIFICALLY If you are taking Magnesium supplements for migraine, - What form do you take? - A link to the product you are using. - How long did it take to see any effect - If you discontinued as you didn't see any results, how many months did you take Mg supplements? - Any other supplement needed along with Mg? (Read about Ca supplementation but no evidence to be found) Don't want to sound arrogant, at the same time, I don't want any more explanation (unless asked) as megathread covered majority of essential stuff on it (although migraine wasn't an indication discussed) and I would like this thread to be very specific to the question. Many thanks in advance. |
