It usually works if not the doctor said to follow up with ALEVE. Sumatriptan don't work for everybody with migraines, so you have to try it see if it helps. Mine were pretty bad after surgery grown man lying crying in pitch dark room, no noise or light for 8 to 20 hours. Luckily today I rarely get mingraine ( probably less than 4 a year) compared to 2 or 3 month years ago. Funny thing I never had headaches till I was 42.
You have had some very serious issues. I am glad you are better and enjoying this beautiful place with us.
