So, I dont suppose....

Anyone has a "cure Brigid's migraine" magickal wand out there? Cos that would seriously be wonderful.

I have a you-know-what of a migraine...the pain, the nausea, the...migrainess of it all.

So yeah, migraine instant cure-alls are welcome. As my pills dont seem to want to actually, you know, help, with this here headache.

[Brightshores]

Do you have any peppermint essential oil? That always helps me when I have a bad headache, and it's good for nausea too.

Hope you feel better! :hugz:

You have sympathy.

Other than that, ibuprofin is the only thing that helps me, or, if I can get past the taste and smell enough to get it down, a shot of whiskey (not together, of course).

Accupressure actually does work a little for me--the web between your thumb and forefinger--from there to about where your thumb bone and hand bones come together: Pinch it with the thumb and forefinger of your other hand. If you're like me, you'll find tat yo absentmindedly release pressure after a certain amount of time: If you can find one that doesn't pinch too sharply, either a paperclip or the clip part of a pen works well to keep constant pressure.

It does help me somewhat (not entirely, but it takes off the edge) after a couple of minutes, but I've found that I have to maintain the pressure or it promptly comes back full force.

What also helps me is mentally following the pain, trying to locate it precisely: If I can maintain concentration, I mentally look where the pain is supposed to be, but find nothing here, and the pain temporarily disappates (or relocates) until I lose my concentration: unfortunately I have a short attention span, esp. when I have a migraine, so this method seldom works for very long....usually just play with it until the ibuprofin kicks in.

Good luck, I hope you find something that works....It sucks.

:hugz: I get migraines too, unfortunately I still haven't found anything that consistently works. Everything I try works sometimes but not others. Hope you feel better soon.

I use Excedrin Migraine and it works wonder. Even though it is over the counter I have had better luck with that than prescriptions . I like it because it works within 15 minutes.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sending healing, positive, and comforting energy to you! :hugz:

I use a hot pack on the back of my neck, which loosens the muscles around my head, some panadol, and a quiet, dark room (with some classical music).

[Brigid Rowan]

I think its stress related...and hormone related. I used cold on my neck, which seemed to help some (weirdly enough). Plus coke, been sipping on that for the caffiene to help with the blood vessel/migraine component. I haven't tried the excedrin headache, Im using fioricet, as given to me by my doctor. Ive only had it a few months, seems like now I'm weaned the baby, Im getting migraines again. Didnt have any really during breastfeeding. Yay for the return of hormones...

[Willow Rosette]

I dont have any advice but I do have hugs and prayers. :hugz:

Hope you're feeling better. This is day 5 for me. The longest I've had one last was 2 weeks and I hope this one doesn't try to set a new record. Stupid weather.

I get bad migraines atleast twice a month,sometimes more. I use advil migraine. their liquid gels, then I usually drink something with caffiene as well.
I had one last week.. took my advil migraine and then went and got a mocha iced latte. it went away after. :)
Where I work at dunkins I think my migraines lately have stemed from not drinking coffee all the time. I am addicted to their iced lattes though :D

I feel for you. I have bad migraines too. I take medication every day to help prevent them, then I have stuff to take prn if they crop up. I have found that an herbal mix of ginger and feverfew helps as well.
