My Story

I was always taught that my MIGRAINES would get better the older I got, but that's NOT true. I am almost 70yrs old & now in Fla where I live my go 2 meds (Fioricet) has become a controlled med. My trigger is the weather & I also get sinus MIGRAINES when it's Hurricane season, I would get some relief from the meds. Now b/c it is a controlled sub. , I can no longer get it. BUT! my Pain man. Dr. told me 2 take Aleve, & it works! I get naproxen (generic) 4 a fraction of what the prescription meds would cost, & IT WORKS! Living in Florida is wonderful in the winter, but I have suffered terriblely in summer & spring. I hope this helps anyone else that suffers like I do.
