I’ve been having some terrible migraine headaches over the past year, and even though the doctor has tried several different medications, the headaches seem to continue to get worse as time marches on. Last week he told me that I was going to have to buy nexium and take that twice a day to protect my stomach from the errosive effects of the migraine treatments. I had been using over the counter drugs like Rolaids and Tums for my heartburn, but they weren’t helping me as much as I needed. The doctor said that I actually have GERD, which can be dangerous if left untreated.

After doing a lot of research, I’ve been quite stymied over what I can eat, and what I should avoid. Apparently the foods that I should eat for my migraine headaches will give me heartburn, and the foods that I should eat for my heartburn can trigger my migraines. That’s a Catch 22 situation if I’ve ever heard of one! Thankfully my health insurance is really great, and my co-pay for everything so far has been very low. I know how much these things cost without insurance; if I didn’t have good health insurance I’d be tempted to try to buy Canada drugs to save money. I know a lot of people threaten to do just that, but I don’t know anyone personally that has actually done it. I buy my medicine through the mail order company my insurance mandates that I use.
