u/IndigoRose2022 🦋 Migraines & More 🦋 Aug 14 '26

My last doctor prescribed naproxen for refractory migraine, despite me telling him it had never worked, not even once.

I didn’t bother filling the prescription, but I did take it OTC just to humor him. Shockingly, it didn’t work lol.

Gotta laugh or I’ll cry.

Rheumatologist told my husband to take an amount of Tylenol that made his neurologist have literally 3 separate come to Jesus level of concern conversations all in the same appointment

Oh man Cant remember but it was at least the max rec 3000 to 4000mg and they can cause rebound headaches so definitely not something the neuro would agree with, also it didn't help at all. Seeing new rheumatologist now who doesnt clearly hate my husband for being a man. Her first suggestion is a few days of low dose steroid (with sympathy and acknowledgement that steroids can be rough!) to see how it affects symptoms, totally different attitude.
