NAPROXEN vs SUMATRIPTAN

Going to a small get-together for new years, and the poison ring I bought myself came in JUST in time! Cant wait to discreetly take my mid-party naproxen without having to fish through my purse! Happy new year everyone, may 2026 hurt less than 2025 🥳

I have so much wrong with me. Like it’s genuinely whole body at this point. Back pain, internal tremors, migraines, stomach issues, fatigue, heart palpitations, dysautonomia, rib pain, brain fog, vertigo, muscle inflammation, hands aching, pain that covers my whole body, knees hurting. I could keep

I'm hypermobile and fat and this has caused me to develop osteoarthritis in my hip, normal NSAIDs don't work on me and I'm allergic to naproxen. I'm scared of becoming addicted to opioids because they seem to be the only thing that helps but I've already gotten 2 prescriptions of them and I'm curren

This is more of a rant I guess. I've been struggling with pain for over a decade now, and no matter how bad it gets, I'm given naproxen or acetaminophen. Naproxen doesn't work for me, and it requires high doses of acetaminophen for me to get a small amount of relief. But they are still the only pai

Had a flare up today and usually when this happens I can’t walk. I usually end up in the ER because when I call my doctor I always get “we can’t help you unless you come in” Ma’am you diagnosed me and all I need is a steroid pack and some naproxen to reduce swelling. So when I was finally mobile eno

I have chronic pain along with fatigue and other issues and a majority of my pills are for my pain my doctors are trying me on so much before actually giving me anything to relieve the pain. I asked for 500mg naproxen and was given a muscle relaxer to take 3 times a day i’m up to at least 12 pills a

Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately in this sub and in others about people asking for little things that help manage the pain, so I thought I’d compile a list of stuff that helps me and others can tack on what helps them in the comments. I hope someone finds this useful! - **Prescri

I’m currently experiencing this rn and I’m working from home and I want the pain to end

Like many of you, I suffer from migraines on a regular basis. First it was once a month, then twice a month. This year it was 2-3 times a week and seriously affected my ability to work and spend time with my kids/family. It landed me in the ER twice due to severe vomiting and dehydration. (the ER it

I have chronic migraines along with my epilepsy. I was having around 20 migraines a month but on Emgality they've gone down a lot and the severity is so much more manageable. For the last 4ish years, if I had a horrible migraine attack I'd take my Sumatriptan with some benedryl and it'd usually kil

Hello Im new to the whole epilepsy thing (kinda).(SORRY IF THIS IS LONG) I had seizures from 10wks -2 y/o. Then didnt have another seizure til college (19), was told it could be a fluke, sleep dep. and stress. I went on medication for 2 years and was taken off of it fine for 6 more years. I was comp

I get migraines/headaches. I have 2 kinda similar genres of headache. One is pretty much the same as pre-epilepsy. It's got a distinct stabbing sensation in the side of my head, I can usually stop it or dull it with over-the-counter analgesics (particularly Advil 2). The other one started appearing
