I do occasionally use acetominophen, aspirin & caffeine if I feel a HA coming on. (not a Migraine) I will not buy Excedrin Migraine, what a scam. Also many seem to get rebounds using it. from it. Feverfew? I have taken Feverfew off & on for a few years. I've been interested in Herbs before they became popular. For various reasons I have gone off it for awhile throughout the years & honestly haven't been able to notice a difference. and get to sleep. I have never been able to sleep with a Migraine! I always thought it was strange that some one would say they could fall asleep. Now with Zomig I usually get relief within 2 hours & can sleep but for the 25 years before that I would lay in bed in the dark for 15-20 hours in pain. The pain behind my eye was so severe there was no way I could fall asleep. (cluster too) I work in people's homes. (home care) So it is very difficult. I used to have 5-6 clients a day, drive to each, have to talk to them, run errands, vac, cook, go to laundry, store etc. But my Supervisor has Migraines also & that has helped, she does understand. I think if I worked in an office or was in a building with a rest room, a lunch hour or a place to go to it might be easier. I was out on a Leave this Fall, then quit. Missed the people (elderly & disabled)so I went back in March on limited part time. They know that 4 hours is about my limit & it has worked out great so far. The agency has been very accomodating. ~Lyn~

    Hi Lyn, I can't always go to sleep with a Migraine. It depends on the intensity of them. Also, some of the meds making me sleepy, so they kind of knock me out, no matter how much pain I'm in. That's great that you have an understanding supervisor. I used to, but this new guy doesn't really get it. Yvonne
