Migraines

I've been taking Calcium for a few months and my hormonal migrianes are just as bad as ever :(

thanks meemers... I'll definitely look into up-ing my calcium to see if it can help me.

I am on magnesium because of my vitamin D deficiency, higher doses of D increase your magnesium use in your system so you are depleted fairly quick. I had some painful symptoms that were resolved with magnesium, from oxide did not work though, slow mag (that's the brand) did work. There are 3 kinds of magnesium, I forget all of them, I just remember NOT from oxide & I'm good..

I have an awful headache that began yesterday afternoon. I am scared to take ponstel because it's a NSAID. I went to the doctor and they said I can't call my headache a migraine because I don't have a diagnosis from a neurologist. He said it sounds like a tension headache. He gave me a sample for fioricet and I took the pill 30 minutes ago and I am still suffering from the headache. I couldn't sleep the entire night because of this pressure and tension. I have an appointment with a neurologist but i can't get in for a few weeks. He also said that taking the NSAID in the low dose I am taking, one time a month, probably isn't going to effect my UC. I got the medication from my GYN who is extremely intelligent and she knows I have UC. I doubt she would give it to me if she thought it would be harmful to my condition.

What do you guys think about this?

As I write this, I think my head might be feeling slightly better. It seems to come in waves. I may have to take Ponstel later if this doesn't knock out the headache because I have been dealing with awful pressure in my head for almost 24hours and it is unbearable.
