    I remember struggling with daily migraine symptoms, feeling like I was in a never-ending battle with my head and neck. Each day, I contemplated whether or not I could push through or turn to my medication cabinet for some slight relief. But then came the question of which med and how much? If I used a big gun (AKA, my triptans) would I have enough to last the rest of the month? I needed a quick solution that would dull the symptoms enough to allow me to function. I know many of you are in a similar situation and have the same struggle navigating medications.
