First, thank you for doing everything you do.

What programs are offered to help with opioid addiction? I've heard of the methadone program, but it seems, at least to me, quite unknown to many people.

Thanks for doing this AMA. :) Would you be able to provide some insight into how certain medications work? My first question has to do with NSAIDS. How do they work at getting rid of a migraine if it’s not necessarily inflammation? Is it because they limit prostaglandin synthesis? If that’s the case then why doesn’t acetaminophen work? Or is there another mechanism of action that gets rid of a migraine?

I’m also wondering about triptans and why they work for some people and not others? Does this suggest that some people’s migraines don’t originate from the same source?

Sorry, last question! Have you found there is an increased incidence of people who have migraines and also other pain disorders, such as fibromyalgia or other types of nerve pain?
