I've had a migraine for 2 days and my doc yesterday changed my meds. but it is still not working! Just being on the comp. is killing me!!! If I go to the e.r., what can they do? I heard a demerol shot??

Sure Demerol will take the pain away but the ER may or may not give you that. Go to the ER and tell them about your headache and they can treat you. There are many other meds they can use for migraines as well

A demerol injection is used to"break the cycle"of migraines. It does this by literally, knocking you out, allowing your brain to gain relief from the pain. I have suffered from migraines for years. When they get so bad, that I can no longer stand it, I go in to the ER for an injection of demerol. I usually sleep for 12 to 18 hours and 9 out of 10 times, it stops the migraine.
