Barry,
 
   One of the first things I did for my migraines was I had to stop 
taking my medicine.  I stopped for almost 3 months...and I get what 
one calls "menstrual migraines", and I am not sure if there is a 
treatment for them.  
 
   I have a prescription for FIORCET.  I like it a lot.  I also take 
ERGOTAMINE (sublignual)...but only in an emergency!!
 
   I also just rest and use lots of ice packs!!  I keep those COLD 
COMFORT ice apcks (I have 4) in my freezer at all times...they are 
fabulous...they can be found in any pharmacy...
 
   I read in Woman's World recently that if one takes aspirin 
everyday..that they suffer with less migraines than if they don't 
take aspirin.
 
   Have you ever gone to a Neurologist?  Give me more information 
about your pain...that's what we're here for..
 
   Elizabeth
