When are scans warranted? Check out the SNOOP mnemonic.

He states that chiari is generally not a cause for migraine, and surgery to relieve migraine doesn't typically work. It does however help to relieve cough headache.

When should cluster/migraine patients go to the ER? For cluster? Likely never- by the time you finally get checked in and see a doc, they're gone. Migraine patients? Depends on the ER. He says they're 'generally really bad places for people w/migraine', and there's a chance it won't be a good experience.

If you experience a change in your headache, or there's fever w/your headache, get them checked out.

I get the impression that he's pretty laid back about this stuff and probably sees a lot of patients worried about changes that are still presentation of migraine. He says that the secondary causes, as they ramp up, we typically know there's something different. And those secondary things are pretty rare.

And oto-laryngologist is an ENT - ear, nose, throat surgeons who treat head & neck problems.

Head and neck neurology is the most complicated of the body, and migraine affects that nervous system. Migraine affects all branches of the trigeminal nerve. For this reason, pain that's migraine can show up in different ways that can send people to an ENT. Migraine can impact taste, smell, balance, and have an impact on the ears, and of course the neck.

90% of chronic migraineurs have a co-morbidity. Examples: sleep disturbances, other vascular problems, auto-immune diseases, heart disease, stroke, cognition issues, and one of the biggest is mood disorders. If you had colic as a kid, you're more likely to have migraine.

He talks about sinus pressure and some other symptoms being replicated by migraine. This can be problematic when we as patients assume it's a sinus infection but also when medical professionals assume the same- it contributes to an overuse of antibiotics, and doesn't help us as patients, because that's not what's going on. He gave the # of 50-80% of patients coming in w/sinus symptoms/headaches meeting the criteria for migraine. And other studies show that giving those folks migraine meds help 60-80% of the time. That's a LOT of drugs, and a LOT of people getting the wrong treatment. Keep in mind Z-packs and steroids are used a lot for sinus infections, both of which have an anti-inflammatory impact that can help your migraine feel better. So those things helping your headache is not an indication of it being sinus infection.

Allergy and migraine- we don't know yet exactly what the relationship is here, but he says a lot more study needs to be done.

MARS - migraine-associated rhinosinusitis is a thing. You don't need an infection for sinus involvement in your migraine and is different from the neuro definition that requires infection or inflammation of the sinus instead of a neuro-triggered condition.

He shared info about a study that he worked on, completed but not yet published - the group looked at about 1500 pts who went to 6 ENT centers- 3 private, 3 academic. They gave a screening test for migraine. 16% going to an ENT fit the profile for migraine, which is above the nat'l avg of 12%. They then took that group and gave them addl questions about symptoms. About 90% of those had facial pressure. About 80% had ataxia, 70% had tinnitus. 60% had a feeling of sensitivity of wind, touch, cold of the ears, 50% had a history of carsickness. 40% had a feeling of water in their ear (he did acknowledge that he may have mixed the percentages up). Almost 20% of patients had complained of burning sensations of their mouth or tongue, which they had not previously associated with migraine.

He's working with the AMD to build a 3-part online course that's FREE to medical professionals, provides continuing ed credit, and gets the basics that most mid-level providers need to know the basics of migraine. He gave the example of asthma- most docs know enough about it to recognize it and begin to treat it. He wants to provide a platform so that providers all have that level of awareness and knowledge for migraine.

His group supplies grants for people not yet ready to apply for NIH grants. He's actively working to get more research done and they support a fellowship dedicated to migraine at Brown.

50 Shades of Migraine

Allodynia - pain without a painful stimulus. It's like lightly touching a sunburn. In migraine, brushing your hair, cold, heat, etc. 80ish percent will say they've experienced that during a headache. If you have chronic migraine w/that though, it's possible to get those symptoms even outside of the migraine.

She discusses how a number of pain conditions- IBS, fibro, and others are not really issues of those areas but instead the nerves of those areas. Central sensitization is a real concern, and there's a lot of overlap between those conditions.

If you have migraine and a lot of body pain, how do you know if you have fibro? There are some trigger points on the body that can give your provider some clues.

There was discussion of modalities that can help- yoga and mindfulness were mentioned, but she specifically mentioned that you may need to work with a professional (read: take classes or privates with a teacher) to help you find the right practice for you. Gentle working out, perhaps in water, may be beneficial. PT may also be indicated.

Medications were also discussed- FDA approved fibro meds include Cymbalta and Lyrica. There's some indication that combining the 2 meds is beneficial for fibro (they're 2 different classes of med), or a combination with SSRI or TCA. She said the old fashioned antidepressants are often in use for this. And she mentioned that while they're not yet FDA approved for migraine, both Cymbalta and Lyrica are used for migraine, so there's possible benefit for both.

NSAIDs aren't used with as much success as we might suspect for fibro.

She finds that heat is preferred by her patients on the body, but cold on the head.

For anyone with central sensitization, or migraine with any of those other pain conditions, I'd recommend this segment highly in terms of gaining better understanding of the underlying pathology and getting some ideas to discuss with your providers.

Especially if you have a neuro, GP, physio, and rheumatologist, coordinating care can be tricky. Especially with insurance, if you're seeing multiple practitioners, say, in a clinic setting, they tend to need to be coded differently so everyone gets paid. Just something to be aware of. If you're seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist from a different clinic or office than your other providers, it's important to know that those providers are often unable to share information about your treatment with your other providers.

She also stresses that your first line treatment is often that which has had the highest level of success for which you are not contraindicated as a patient, but that they do not work for everyone. So it's not at all unusual to need a second or third or even a fourth or more option. It's important to remember that and not get discouraged when option 1 or/and 2 fail.

Allodynia: When Touch Hurts But Shouldn’t

Currently going through this same issue. There's a few things I've found to give me some relief. I see in other comments that you're from Germany so I'll try to keep that in mind 👍

I use a gel ice pack that wraps around my neck. I also have a heat pack, but personally, the ice pack is much more relieving for my migraines.

Menthol cream like Biofreeze is a great way to give you at least a half hour of pain relief. Just rub some on your forehead, neck and maybe a little on your cheek bones, and you'll feel a cooling sensation that can really help you out in a pinch.

I'm fortunate enough to be in a state that has relaxed its medical marijuana laws, but I see that Germany is still keeping its MMJ close to the chest. Medical marijuana isn't for everyone, but it's worth looking into, especially since you're in a medication overuse predicament. There's a lot of different capacities medical marijuana comes in, at least in the States. I looked up some information about qualifying for medical marijuana in Germany if this is something that interests you.

Best of luck. This isn't an easy battle, but it'll get better.

EDIT: I also recommend the steroid taper for really troublesome migraines. I’ve gotten one mega-migraine per month recently and each time I’ve used a prednisone taper. My neurologist has his concerns about using this method too much, but so far it’s doing the trick.

Another thing I’ve thought of is ER visits. Sometimes you just can’t get any relief and your doctor isn’t readily available. I don’t know what the emergency healthcare situation is like in Germany, but in the States we have ERs in hospitals and standalone facilities. The standalone ER clinics are pretty badass, so if you have some equivalent to that I strongly recommend it. Most emergency rooms are armed with the “migraine cocktail.” It’s usually some combination of an anti-convulsant, anti-nausea, muscle relaxer, steroid, triptan or magnesium. You can tell them about your medication overuse headaches and they can adjust the recipe. Like I said, I’m dealing with MOH and going to the ER has helped me out, so I wouldn’t worry too much about their meds triggering another headache. It’s worth a shot, anyways.

Hey there,

I'm a US native living in the UK. At this point, I feel like transatlantic flights are a skill I can put on my resume.

I always fly with this scarf. I refuse to leave without it. Its so big, I can use it as a scarf, wrap, or a hood. So, if I get cold on the plane, its suddenly a hood. Or, if I want to sleep, it can cover my part of my face (and I dont feel so awkward sleeping in 'public'). Additionally, even if I just want to watch the movies but the cabin lights are on, the hood aspect allows me to help shadow the light out of my eyes.

For your own comfort, wear something you can move in but dont feel awkward about wearing on a plane. You're gonna want to stretch out a bit (my neck gets really tense when my migraine is setting in), so make sure your sweater/shirt allows you to move freely and ideally whatever sweater you choose (if you do), should open at the front to go on and off without disrupting your neighbours (and its also a comfort blanket, at if you want it). Keeping yourself comfortable will also help prevent migraines (as much as we can).

The pressure changes can hurt, especially if you're congested or sick. You can bring decongestants but your best bet is to have a bottle of water. A real bottle. Even transatlantic flights only give you a child size bottle if you ask for water, so I'd recommend either buying a bottle after you pass TSA or bringing in an empty bobble bottle and filling it up on the terminal side of things. (Since it's an empty bottle when you pass security, it can be in your carry on and its not a problem).

I usually bring snacks, as well. Protein agrees with me when I have a migraine, so I'll bring things like beef jerky or nuts. Things that are high in protein and can help keep me going. We cant control food service on the plane, and of course there are specific times that the flight crew cant assist you. Having your own water and snacks (chocolate and beef jerky really are my go-to snacks) help me feel more in control and keeps my blood sugar stable longer, especially considering the chaotic time leading up to the airport usually includes missing a meal (and there is no guarantee the airplane food will be good or in your condition it'll smell good).

I also carry a scented oil that I use to help overcome bothersome smells. Things like new car smells and some cleaners can be triggers for me, and they're hard to avoid (and move away from since they're everywhere), so I use roll on perfumes that are oil based. If you have a perfume like this, they're awesome to take on the plane because they're often small enough to go in your carry on liquid allowance and you can wear them where they're concentrated enough to effect you (neck, hands, maybe even directly under/on your nose) but they wont overpower your neighbours like a traditional perfume.

(On a disgustingly related side note- the smell can also be quite intense if you're located by a bathroom. I definitely would recommend having something that smells good that you can refer to if you're by a bathroom).

The noise level can be quite intense, especially if you're over the engines by the wing. The 'good' part is that it blends into white noise since its a long flight. But ideally over-the-ear headphones are your best bet for watching/listening to any of the in-flight entertainment (which usually there's enough to keep you entertained one direction of your flight). Noise cancelling versions will help diminish outside noise, even when you're not listening to anything. I hate ear plugs, so I stick to ear-buds as needed but prefer over-the-ear headphones for flights. BUT, be warned, 8-10+ hours with any headphone will cause some sensitivity to any type of headphone system. A few hours in and my head is sore from the weight of my headphones and I have to adjust them a bit. Theres not a magical solution for the noise (without very expensive noise cancelling headphones that might exist without my knowledge), just make sure to take breaks from whatever method you choose if you feel like its causing some stress on your system and could be relieved if you used another method for a few minutes.

I personally dont use a neck pillow, but I cant sleep on planes. I tend to stay awake on the plane; I have taken one or two naps usually about an hour long, but airlines have introduced new pieces on the head part of the seat that allow you to bend it outwards and catch your head (and not fall on your neighbour) so I usually just use that. I try to stay awake and then when I land I stay awake until night time, then sleep the whole night. Otherwise I am jet-lagged beyond belief. My home town is California, and I'm in London. The time difference kills me if I nap when I land. The times I stay awake, I perk into the new time zone within a day or two.

If you're very nervous about flying, or in a lot of pain, try taking a sleeping pill (or get one from your doctor) and sleep through the flight. You can follow your husband through the airport ;)

When you do get to Italy, if you're having a migraine dont hesitate to try going to the pharmacy and see what they have available. Different medicines are over the counter here and could be used to help. I'm not sure what medicine you're on, but for example Cocodamol (ibuprofen with 12mg codeine) is over the counter in the UK for migraine usage. You could get a pack to get you through the trip and the flight home (assuming its not already in your regimen.) Additionally, the muscle rub Voltarol is different here than the USA. It contains diclofenac diethylammonium, which is supposedly a bit more stronger. Some people on other forums say when they put it on their muscles before a migraine, it helps prevent it from developing while putting it on their face helps kill the migraine they already have.

As for your heat wrap, unless you're worried about space, just toss it in your checked bag and bring it! You're likely to have access to a microwave if you stay at a hotel, and if you want it (and find a microwave) you'll just regret not bringing it. If you need the space for other stuff, you can leave it behind and worst case scenario you can either make one with a towel and hot water or purchase one in Italy to bring home as a souvenir.


Sorry for the long text! I think I may have wrote a book. Hope your trip goes well!

Using magnesium along with a high dosage of B2 (400mg/day) has helped significantly cut the severity and length of my headaches. I still have aura symptoms, but the actual headaches are now more likely to last hours instead of days & I'm not to the point of questioning the benefits of existence.

As has been noted above, not all Mg supplements absorb well. Magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate absorb especially poorly, and many aren't able to handle the laxative effect. I'd highly suggest trying a topical magnesium supplement - epsom salt soak, magnesium "oil", or magnesium lotion. I love a soak, but it's pretty inconvenient, and the "oil" tends to sting. However, I've had great luck with the lotion. I slather it on my neck and shoulders nightly to help release some of the tension (think about how athletes use epsom salt for tight/sore muscles). Generally, I recommend using it before bed because it has a relaxing effect that often makes people feel sleepy.

Here's a link to the product on Amazon: Ancient Minerals Mg Lotion


And, I know you didn't ask, but... I'd also note that when I do have a headache, I've found that a large dose of ginger in hot water (add honey if needed) is surprisingly effective. This is NOT a preventative like the Mg and B2. It is meant to stop a headache already in progress (There is some conjecture that says using these as a preventative could actually make headaches worse). Research has shown this to be as effective as sumatriptan (Imitrex), but without the side effects.

To answer your original question, here is my daily routine:

1. Right when I wake up, before doing anything else I take a B multivitamin. This is really helpful for energy, and seems protective against migraine.
   
   
2. About an hour later, before heading to work, I then take a 250mg time released B2, which has been shown in many studies to help protect against migraine (https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Release-Natures-Plus-Sustained/dp/B00028MQXO/).
   
   
3. Some people might take Coenzyme Q10/Magnesium at this point as well, there is some evidence they help. If I feel low energy I will sometimes do this, but not consistently. Probably not advisable. Not sure frankly. But I do know that CoQ helps me with energy levels.
   
   
4. Around 3-4pm the B2 starts to wear off and my energy level drops, so I take another time-release 250mg B2 between 3-3:30pm.
   
   
   But other things that are key are sleep hygiene, drinking lots of water, eating regularly (skipping meals is a surefire trigger for me), and getting regular fairly intense exercise. For instance this study suggests exercise is extremely beneficial protector against migraine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3236524/).
   
   Unfortunately I still have to take preventative, but it sounds like you do not, so I hope some of this stuff helps! I had a female friend who was in a similar situation and once she got on BC that completely stopped her periods, her menstrual migraines completely went away. She was so happy. I was so jealous. :)
   
   I would be very wary of herbal remedies like feverfew because they are not well understood and they could contain nsaids which can facilitate transition to chronic migraine when used more than 10x a month (when used just once a week they actually seem to protect against the transition to chronic migraine, so it is complicated: use alleve 1x a week, but if you are taking it 2 or more times a week you are courting the transition to chronic migraine). Papers available upon request... lol
   
   Oh, and please let us know, in a month or two, how you are, and what you ended up doing. :)

Currently in an migrane episode ( it started last week). Once they start nothing works right away. But, if I start exercising regularly, eating healthier, and trying to stay calm (I'm always freaking out about everything) they slowly go away. I know, it sucks.

That's what I'm doing right now. I should always do it but when I'm migrane free I start acting like I will never have them again. So, migranes are a painful reminder that I should take care of myself.

My wife used to suffer from them as well (before I met her). She told me her neurologist injected her head with something (she doesn't remember what) multiple times. She is pretty much migrane free now.

Prevention is the key. You have to identify your triggers, mines are anything pork based or processed meats. So, no deli meats, sausages, etc. Stress is also another major triggering factor for me. I have found walking helps a lot with it (even if it is walk-chasing my daughter at Walmart), it takes my mind off of my problems.

I'm now trying this new supplement, hoping it will make a difference. Bought it just based on the Amazon reviews :
My Brain! Natural Headache Vitamins - Healthy Brain Function, Ease Your Mind, Open & Clear Head Relief - Strong Potency Magnesium, Butterbur, Feverfew - 60 Vegetarian Soft Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071VDQ2LZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IHbvDb41Y0M20

Hope it helps

Since everyone else seems to have covered the medical aspects of migraine help, might I suggest getting her something like this? You'll want to make sure it's able to be used for warm and cold water, though, since a good portion of the ones on Amazon and elsewhere are only for cold water. The one I have is honestly the best investment I ever made for my migraines. It's lightweight (which was a major problem with hot water bottles; the warmth helped, but the /weight/ of them on my face was painful), it conforms to wherever it's held against (so, like, it'll smoosh against everywhere on her face if her migraines are like mine and hit in the glasses/mask region), and it's flexible for whatever helps alleviate the pain (so if cold helps, she can fill it with ice, but the warmth aspect helps mine the best). If you or she does get one, though, you'll want to make sure that you don't use too hot of water in it, because 1) it's painful against the skin (since it's just a thin rubber-like bag), and 2) it can actually make the bag leak/burst, which would be even more painful. Hot tap water works just fine, with the added bonus of her not needing to stand around waiting for water to heat in the microwave/on the stove/in the kettle, y'know?

My physician suggested the herb "Butterbur" for me, but I was unable to afford a trial of it (I'm on an extremely limited income). I understand it has a few good studies behind its use, and he was confident in the recommendation. (We ended up going with the prescription medication Gabapentin instead, and it's worked wonders for me.)

I realize you said your family took her to one doctor, but that's never the end-all, be-all! Get a second opinion, if you can! There are dozens of medications that can be prescribed to prevent migraine.

Also, see if you can help her keep a food diary - that's where she writes down what she eats each day, and you refer to it when she gets a migraine (and write that down, too), to try to make an association. Sometimes there isn't one - and sometimes there are more than one food triggers.

Walking out into bright light, first thing, is one of my triggers - sunlight can easily set me off. Loud sounds, too. Being suddenly startled can trigger them for me. Movie theaters have a 100% success rate of triggering a migraine in me (but are sometimes worth it).

TENS 7000. Amazon. $26.

I love it.

I'd also purchase these pads. Amazon. Ebay.

And I like using electrode gel for a better attachment. Amazon.

There are a bunch of dedicated products that produce the same effect and don't smell as bad as icy hot. I have these in my purse, office, bedside table, and car: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Peppermint-Menthol-Rosemary-Headache/dp/B010OE8KQM/ref=pd_lpo_121_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8MZ8893XYW020PJG3J47

I also like stopain migraine gel, but it is so expensive, you might as well just get icy hot.

PS I swear I am not shilling for those natural peppermint stick people, but they should pay me or give me a discount for how much of that stuff I use and how often I recommend it!

it won’t drip water in your eyes and it straps so you can walk around/roll around at ease... but are only cold for like 45 min. I have six. My best find so far.

Yes the Boswellia Serrata- at least 65%. There’s a different brand on Amazon my doc recommended but said she knows Gliacin is trustworthy and standard. Some other brands can alter production. I’ve blown my budget on meds and other treatments this month so I’m getting the amazon version first

https://www.amazon.com/Superior-Labs-Boswellia-Extract-Absorption/dp/B00LGIKHC6

For heated hats there is [this one](HotHands Heated Knit Cap Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YULZGE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_z2dAyb70HS95Q) but that requires you putting the hands heaters into it. There is also [this beanie](Cordless Heated Hat - SM/MD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017NZW88Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_d4dAyb8JDT3MJ) but it's super pricey.

As a quick/cheaper fix, I know thermacare has stitch on heat pads for menstrual cramps that stick onto your underwear and rest against your skin. You can try sticking those into a hat to see if that helps/allowed you to look normal outside

https://www.amazon.com/Headache-Migraine-Relief-Cap-comfortable/dp/B07DG2Z1NH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=migraine+hat&pd_rd_r=94763c2b-d0fd-4279-bbb4-37828292cc17&pd_rd_w=iUYAr&pd_rd_wg=6msEA&pf_rd_p=801e52f8-2f92-4121-a10a-a677634e995d&pf_rd_r=6STY39E8F69YBABN221J&qid=1565239261&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

I have a bunch on my wishlist, but I just found this one. I also like an ice pack in the back as well!

> butterbur

@OP -- Be careful with this one! Make sure whichever supplement brand you are using for butterbur (if you decide to go with it) is USP/NSF/GMP certified, and I would suggest looking them up on something like labdoor.com.

When butterbur is processed, it needs to undergo very specific procedures to remove a harmful chemical. Unfortunately, not all companies do this! (And the one who did process the toxin correctly, ultimately changed their procedures so they were no longer removing it. It's still sold in the US, but Germany (where the company is based) has strict regulations on supplements and actually banned it from being sold there. That's why many neurologists are no longer recommending it.)

(More information on those studies.)

The one butterbur supplement supplier that I found (almost a year ago) GMP certified and at least advertised that they removed the toxin was MigraEase, by Life Extension... That said, given the lack of regulation, they might very well be saying one thing and doing another...

Edit: The bottle on Amazon no longer seems to carry the certification, though PeakLeaf's bottle does... Not sure what happened in a year, or why two different companies are using the same product name, but clearly something did... Additionally, Life Extension is saying that doctors in Germany still recommend butterbur in their product description, which is clearly not quite true... So I don't know if I trust them anymore.

(The USP/NSF/GMP/etc certification is just that they were paid to test the supplement at one point, and it meets whatever standards for safety that they set out. But AFAIK, they aren't as stringent as the FDA's standards.)

As an aside, I actually had the complete opposite aversion -- supplements are not at all regulated by the FDA, so I was way more wary about taking them than I was about the regular medications, lol.

So glad you're getting relief!

Cefaly has two kinds of pads: sensitive skin and normal. I have extremely sensitive skin, but I can tolerate the normal ones. The adhesive on the normal ones lasts much longer than the sensitive skin ones.

https://www.amazon.com/Spectra-PAR12-02-Parker-Laboratories-Electrode/dp/B00AMGUZ70/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia?keywords=electrode+gel&pd_rd_i=B00AMGUZ70&pd_rd_r=427264b0-0b38-4d64-88a7-4d70c271165f&pd_rd_w=4suD7&pd_rd_wg=ocpeO&pf_rd_p=fa9c8d46-49c0-42f7-8c84-f27f6d48cc96&pf_rd_r=JEWR5SC5XZG631RGYAFK&qid=1555285227&s=gateway

I bought this from Amazon. When the adhesive gets dull I apply very sparingly and it refreshes it.

Ask your doctor if they have samples of the pads. My doctor gives me samples pretty much every visit and I haven't had to buy more in years.

I'll throw my water pillow into the mix. I love this thing.

this is the one I use, and it’s worked great for me

I'm late to the party but yeah, severe neck stiffness/tension is my first warning sign. The Back Buddy is the best $35 I've ever spent. http://amzn.com/B0006VJ6TO

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/PharMeDoc-Pregnancy-Pillow-Jersey-Shaped/dp/B01KIQH2VU

It's weird, I know, but I also have POTS/EDS, and I've found a full body pillow REALLY helps keep me from waking up with a "laid down too long" migraine. I tend to oversleep thanks to my EDS, and this keeps me aligned so there's no awkward blood pooling. It also keeps my joints- especially my shoulders and hips- stable so there's less tension contributing to a tension migraine.

https://www.amazon.com/ESARORA-Roller-Puffiness-Migraine-Products/dp/B01E8IZ4ZA

I have an ice roller for a similar purpose! It's bigger and colder than a jade roller (though not as aesthetically pleasing unfortunately), and the shape and size are perfect for pressing on your eyes.

Yeah totally! I have two of these, just standard ones , one like this, that’s clay, and one like this, that covers the sinuses too.

I have no idea why heat on the feet and ice on the head works so damn well but it really does!

I got one of these a few months ago: Mediflow Water Pillow because I was having a lot of neck pain. My favorite thing is that you control how much water goes in the base making it totally adjustable. :)

I just ordered this heated hat for my wife. She's very excited to try it. I found it in another thread here, suggested by /u/penny_dreadful_mess

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YULZGE

I invested in an ice bag, and then pin a cloth diaper onto it. Really much colder than normal ice packs, and lasts forever. 10/10, would recommend.

I tried butterbur /feverfew and it did seem to let me lower my dose of meds https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0013OVXWQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like to try new things and cycle supplements so I stopped after that bottle, but maybe I should try another cycle.
