I'm glad your drug is cheap! I filled a prescription for Maxalt for my migraines yesterday: $160 for 9 little pills!! Thank God the insurance paid 80% of that, or I would still be suffering!
Lynne, it is interesting that you mention the t-vertebrae in relation to migraines and menstrual cycles. I did notice the day before this migraine that my spine felt like it was out of line. I will have to talk to my doctor about it, maybe I can get an appt with the physical therapist.
Abdominal Migraines
Anyone ever heard of these?

Thanks! It's always nice when you get validation from someone else on a statement that most people would think is a load of poo-poo!!!!!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try tomorrow".

"Feels like child birth 
, except in your stomach, since the spasms continue at regular intervals and get more severe if you don't take anything." Marcia
---------------------------------------
I have been having those muscle spasms in my stomach for many years and like you say are exactly like childbirth. My daughter, who also has celiac disease, has the same pains. You know when you are getting the pain before it starts. If you immediately start drinking water or milk and continue to drink as much as you can as fast as you can, you will head it off. You will pass gas or burp or both but the severe pain will not start. It seems to be a muscle spasm/contraction, somewhere along the digestive tract. Almost like gas that is trapped somewhere and needs the fluid to ride it out on.
The think that the migraine headaches are celiac disease related too and that likely the stomach pains and the head pains are due to not enough fluids in the body. I recommend to everyone with celiac disease to drink a lot of water all day long. It is possible that the migraine headaches are from inhaled gluten. If you still have gluten flour in your house get rid of it. Also be sure that the chocolate chips in your cookies are gluten free, the dried cranberries in your muffins are gluten free etc.
Has anyone noticed that Migraine contains the word grain in it?
