Yes, Annie - I have had them for 35 years now. We have had several threads about them, too. You might want to try the *search* feature. Have you ever done that? There is a button at top right and you can search by topic, user name or whatever - it's a pretty good feature I did not know about for quite awhile. I will do a quick migraine search:

There is allot of info in there. I have taken just about every preventative and abortive med possible. I am currently taking Topomax and Inderal for prevention and Phenergan and T-3 (Tylenol w/codeine) for doozies. I also keep a note from my Neurologist in my purse for the rare occasion that I may have to go to the ER because migraine is something that can easily get you the "drug seeker" treatment at the ER.
Things that help me in an attack are dark and quiet, bags of frozen peas for a cold pack, lavender oil for aromatherapy, kitties purring on my pillow and soft music like Enja, Coltrane or Norah Jones. Nausea is terrible for me so I often sip cola syrup over ice or gingerale.
Take care!
Debbie
