"i suffer from a specific family of migraines where light, sound, smells don&#039;t bother me. i just always have a baseline headache that spikes. we found that topamax helps keeps the baseline normal but i&#039;ll get a spike where i&#039;ll have to take my treximet a 2 dose series. it&#039;s not very often i need the second and it&#039;s even rarer that after taking the second i&#039;m still suffering but when it does happen 1 or 2 a year i&#039;ll call let my doctors office know i need a toradol shot and they say come on and within 15mins of getting it i&#039;m 95% if not 100% better. i have no side effects. i get the injection in my right bicep because i&#039;m right handed and use it a lot. life saver when all else fails."
