Do you take the medication now? Wait and see if the migraine gets worse? Save it because you're afraid you'll need it tomorrow?
For many women with chronic migraines, medication becomes an exhausting negotiation.
In this episode, Debbie removes the guilt from the medication conversation and explains how rescue and preventive medications can be valuable tools - while still leaving one very important question unanswered: Why are the migraines happening so often in the first place?
In this episode:
-
Why every woman with migraines should have a clear rescue plan
-
What can happen when you wait too long to treat an escalating migraine
-
Why a long-term preventive plan should still be reevaluated over time
-
How prescription medications, over-the-counter pain relievers and medications for side effects can quietly add up
-
What medication-overuse headache is and why women may mistake it for worsening migraines
-
Why Debbie wants to see the entire medication picture, not one prescription at a time
Mentioned in this episode:
Medication can be an important part of getting your life back while you're working on the bigger picture. But treating an attack and changing the pattern that keeps creating attacks are two different things.
Come back for the final episode in this series, where Debbie tackles one of the biggest migraine conversations of all: hormones.
