I used to get the “headache from hell” that didn’t respond to any typical headache meds but never thought of it as something to discuss with a medical professional. When I finally mentioned the headaches the NP asked a few questions and suggested they might be migraines. She prescribed a medication that that was as close to a miracle as I could imagine. One pill and about an hour later the headache was gone. I’d usually take a nap and wake up OK. I learned the secret was early intervention, first hint of pain or queasiness, take pill. Mine never were totally disabling and have decreased in number.

“As close to a miracle,” hits home with me!
My family called them “sick headaches”. And yes, they are awful!
