We all know sometimes it runs in families. Maybe that's why migraines can be so resistant to medication - I believe the triptans work with the nitric oxide part of the migraine cascade. Maybe some of us need to stop the glutamate build up before the nitric oxide is given the signal to begin the migrainous episode?? Maybe that's why a lot of us are sensitive to monosodium glutamate (MSG) which is an enzyme that contains a glutamate component.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-55547696847371633652010-09-01T21:19:33.132-05:002010-09-01T21:19:33.132-05:00Winny,

It was why mine was so difficult to medicate because I had no prodrome, just all of a sudden I would realize I had been in pain for hours and now I was seasick (which did not bode well for me). Now the progression was always the same: approximately 8 hours from start to finish, with one day of hangover. But all the medication I had to take was most effective if taken early in the headache process, and I never knew until I was about 4-5 hours in. Guess I just wasn't very observant?? I think I just got used to the lower level pain.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-42237983498521129822010-08-31T07:00:24.141-05:002010-08-31T07:00:24.141-05:00That's an interesting article.

Fortunately, I knew better and just never returned.Migrainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473496432554201124noreply@blogger.com
