I am unfortunately back in a new attack cycle. 4th day now although I did not have much problems with it and could function normal as indomethacin did a good job of stopping it. Yesterday however, I took the last 50 mg in the afternoon so its working must have been finished overnight as around 6 am, I woke up from quite heavy subsequent attacks, hellish pain in my right eye and my nose stuffed I could barely breath. Tried to sleep a bit but could not and 8 am finally got up to have my breakfast with another 100 mg indocin. We are now 9:30 and the stuff starts to work. Pain in the stomach and dizziness is increasing but the headache is proportionally diminishing. No more attacks and the sharp continue pain in my eye is fading away. So all by all it is going to be an OK day but I don't know how many days more. It's getting time this cycle is over. Good we have a holiday tomorrow and Tuesday (Belgian national day)! I am still trying to find a good trade-off between indomethacin intake and overall health. I take as less as possible but over the last year, my kidney function has diminished a little bit from 90 % to 81%. Doctor say its perfectly OK and no worries to take the indocin but my gut feeling tells me I better be careful. I try to take as less as possible and follow the guidelines from the hospital: Not more than 3 subsequent days and maximum 150 mg. Oxygen does a terrific job on the migraine (very unusual) and zomig does an OK job but no way as effective as the indomethacin. I tried Imitrex injections lately and was very disappointed. It did not do anything and if I would have injected myself with 6 mg hot water, effect would have been similar. My vit D levels are around 85 ng/ml so a good range but it does not make any difference on my headache situation. All the best and courage to all those who struggling with a primary headache condition ! siegfried
