Migraine Remedy

I've suffered from migraines for 45 years. I've been to countless neurologists and headache clinics, not to mention 100's of prescriptions. Sumatriptan seems to help the most.

In 2009, I ran across a study completed in Australia (in 2008) saying they were getting 75% improvement in frequency and severity. At this time, I was waking up 3-5 days a week vomiting from pain, using injections and willing to try anything. I started taking this daily, and within 7 days noticed an improvement in frequency and severity. I thought it was an unexplained coincidence, because it couldn't be this simple, or this cheap. I have now gone an entire week at a time with no headache, and haven't vomited in over 2 years.

When I stopped taking it, it took about 3 months to get back to the severity and frequency I had before. Needless to say, I'm back on it with continuing amazing results. I hope this can help someone else.
