Title: Benadryl Result
Post by amandabe on Sep 22nd, 2016 at 9:10am
Hi Batch,

After some days or Loratadine (which was working a little but not really taking away the pain) my friend tried the Benadryl.  The first night was great - no pain at all.  The second night was great until 7am where she suddenly had one of the strongest pains in the cycle.

She took 25 mgs before bed.

Normally her cycles last only 6 weeks and are only night hits. But now this has been close to 8 weeks with an early morning hit.

What shall we do?

Thank you again,
Amanda

Hi again Batch,

2nd night update, took it a little later before bed - 3 times waking up like her whole body was shaking and about to break out into a pain, but it stayed like that.  She said it was like a typical body response before the pain usually comes... as I havenīt had these headaches I can only imagine...

Would love to hear your thoughts on the last post and this one..

Thanks,
Amanda

I've tried it, doesn't seem to help pain that  much but does help in falling asleep as soon as the pain drops a bit so I sleep through some of the pain.
