I cannot believe how many celebrity names have migraines as well.

Actress Elizabeth Taylor, actor James Cromwell, actress Lisa Kudrow, supermodel and actress Elle Macpherson, actress Lee Grant, singer and songwriter Carly Simon, country singing Loretta Lynn, Susan Olsen of Brady Bunch fame, Star Jones, Fred Norris of the Radio & TV Howard Stern Show, and actress Whoopi Goldberg.

Not to mention did we all see the list of prescibed meds by Brittany Murphey's
bedside when she passed? It sounds pretty much like the meds sitting next to mine...

Vivian Leigh

What was the list of meds at Brittany's bedside? I can't find it.

Angela

Topamax
Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory)
Fluoxetine (depression med)
Klonopin (anxiety med)
Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med)
Ativan (anxiety med)
Vicoprofen (pain reliever)
Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks)
Biaxin (antibiotic)
Hydrocodone (pain med)

WONDERFUL!

I thought the same thing when I saw the list of Brittany Murphy's meds. Of course the tabloid I was reading (my little sinful addiction), just made reference to the Topamax as a migraine med that is used for weight loss.

Umm...hello, so many of the other med's are used for migraines. I have a sneaking suspicion she was a fellow sufferer.

Allison Kraus, country-bluegrass performer is also a chronic migraine sufferer. I remember reading awhile back that Jennifer Gardner had to drive her husband, Ben Affleck, to the ER. They were speculating what was wrong with him because he was lying in the back seat. It came out later that he was suffering a migraine. Not sure if that was a one time thing or something ongoing with him.
