Tylenol's do nothing for me - never have
Not even for "regular" pain - my body's just not set up for them, lol!
Kath - watch out for the Ex. Strength Excedrins. I was taking those for migraines also - until I got a bleeding ulcer that put me in the hospital for a few days (this is what was wrong when I was in NOLA - it just took the doctors a few months, 8 pints of blood and $25K to figure it out :angry: ).
The triptans aren't pain killers at all. They work on the vascular system, which is where MY migraines start. They don't work for a lot of people (for instance, they don't do squat for my mother), but they work for me
My mother stopped having them when she hit menopause, then just recently (10 years later) started having them again. Odd.
