Not Good for Migraines I am taking this preventatively, as a
pain management strategy for bone pain actually. As a frequent
migraine sufferer, I was hoping initially that it would prevent
or cancel my migraines. Here's what I've found: The incidence of
smaller, or day-to-day headaches, has decreased overall, and
when I do get a mild-moderate headache, I can usually get by
with a mild over the counter medicine. I believe the morphine
has helped reduce the small headaches. I used to have to take a
strong prescription or narcotic several times a week for this.
However, if I have "monthly" or weather-driven migraines, the
Avinza doesn't help at all, and the head pain is as intense as
ever. Though I have a constant dose of morphine, it just doesn't
cut it for migraines. However, for skeletal pain, it has been a
miracle. My advice: don't count on this for headaches... I think
one may still need an emergency / breakthrough method on hand to
use judiciously on the bad days.
