Accepting the diagnosis is definitely a big one. I’m a doctor, and I stopped by the office of my former vestibular rehab physical therapist while at work to let her know how well I’m doing and that I’m moving out of state. She said a lot of people don’t do as well because they don’t “buy into it”. And not that I don’t have symptoms now, I do everyday, but I’m highly functional and enjoying life.
Interesting point DM. I can understand why people may be slow to get their heads around this but ONCE it’s obvious I don’t get why some people seem to live in denial about migraine. There’s actually an article in the science literature about migraine denial it’s such a problem. :?:
Thank you for the Ten Commandments. I happened upon this web site by accident about a month ago, and wish that I had discovered it two years ago. Ignorance was not bliss. I learned a great deal. I read Dr. Buckholz’ book. I started the diet. I started Magnesium. I have a new medication, but I was improving prior to that. His statement that the “medication will work better with the diet,” stuck with me. I believe it is true. I think reading that and the Ten Commandments helped me accept the diagnosis, and acknowledge that if I took additional steps, I would get well.
I’m currently on Verapamil. Can I take Magnesium and the other vitamins with the Verapamil? It’s safe?

Check with your doctor - but I take Verapimil, magnesium, B2, and just started a diuretic and they all seem to help just a bit.
I was wondering who takes butterbur and if it safe to take with MAV meds. I’m currently taking Verapamil. Thanks

I went to the store to buy supplements and noticed that there are all differret mg of magnesium and especiall CoQ10 ranging from 30mg to over 100mg. Anyone know how much to take or can anyone let me know what mgs they take? I’m about to quit Verapamil and try only suppliments. Thanks
Leslie
I wondered, also, about the Magnesium. My doctor mentioned the Magnesium with salt compound (?) was the one I should be taking. I am not taking the right one, although I do notice that it helps me. Does anyone know?
love this xx
