The combo I like the most currently is Zomig Nasal Spray, since it bypasses the stomach and gets in the bloodstream quickly, and Zofran dissolving tablets for the nausea that comes with the headache. The Botox injections have been an incredible blessing, truly life changing. I still get migraines, which I treat with the Zomig, but they are no longer so severe that they are untreatable. Hope you are feeling better soon.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378489018825744806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-9941500930076553232013-08-25T15:11:49.427-04:002013-08-25T15:11:49.427-04:00You are so welcome, Miriam.

But, your headaches concern me; my daughter had almost debilitating headaches and Topamax was prescribed for her; while not completely migraine free, it has reduced them by probably 95%. As I understand it there are few side effects with this medication.

I've read your blog for some time, and really enjoy it. :) I have nothing to add re: your muslin adjustments, but would like to share with you what I use for migraines. My doc prescribed Sumavel DosePro injections. They don't have a needle, but get the medicine in under the skin with compressed air. I'm not going to lie...they hurt. You may need to get your husband to do it so you don't flinch. But it's only a second or two of pain, and then my migraine is gone in about 15 minutes. Your mileage may vary, of course. But for me, the relief comes lightening fast.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind my offering an option. Whatever route you take, I hope you begin feeling better soon. There's nothing like chronic pain to wear you down. :(Jeanninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646477395728951589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-23485087886377238992013-08-25T09:24:17.697-04:002013-08-25T09:24:17.697-04:00I do hope you feel better, Bunny.

But you are smaller than a size 6 so almost every adjustment for petites will have to be done front and back. The one thing she mentions is that it is snug on the hips so they got that part right...or did they? If you could pin a horizontal tuck across the chest somewhere between the bust points and neckline...what can we call that line...say 1 inch...and the same for the back at that level...like mid armscye across, that will lift the armhole. The same line is used for the sleeve...same tuck. Then do the vertical tucks down the center of each front panel and the back but don't use the center back fold area...use vertical tucks where the princess seams would be if it had any. That should bring the muslin into some kind of better shape and shorten the jacket 2 inch as well if you need it. Pin out a vertical tuck down the center fold of the sleeve until you are happy. I'm sure you have a simpler way of doing this as your usual techniques but as an observer this is the way I'd do it for a client without disturbing the basic shape and it does not require much messing with facings and curves too much...fingers crossed! As for migraines, thank God I have never had one but I know so many people who do and I wish you all the good luck in the world to find something or someone who can give you some relief!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-89805050492879591382013-08-25T07:14:52.360-04:002013-08-25T07:14:52.360-04:00I'm going to take some time today and go back ...I'm going to take some time today and go back and re read the reviews on PR and look at the photos really closely.

Acupuncture has been very helpful, as have dietary changes recommended by my acupuncturist. I think the most helpful of the dietary changes she recommended was to give up milk. It took a while to get used to black tea again, but it's okay!<br /><br />I hope you're able to find a solution quickly Bunny!<br />Pearl Kjarsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629729212118014724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-10702716402743236002013-08-24T22:18:55.170-04:002013-08-24T22:18:55.170-04:00Oh, Bunny, I'm so sorry to hear that your migr...Oh, Bunny, I'm so sorry to hear that your migraines have returned!

I recently got over a bout of migraine headaches and in the past was prescribed imitrex. I was informed that imitrex and my age (50) does not work as it used to and was prescribed fioricet. Took one pill and an hour later it alleviated my sensitivity to light, noise, nausea & then the pain was gone. I felt like a brand new person.
