healing energies for acute migraine pain

[Lunacie]

Healing energy please for a really bad migraine headache?

I don't have health insurance. I see a discount doctor who doesn't treat "chronic pain conditions" which apparently includes migraines. I can't get in to see a doctor at the low cost health center until next month. The local ER says it will cost between $500 to $1000 to treat me, not counting any tests they might decide are necessary. I have high blood pressure which discount drugs usually manage, but when I have a migraine my BP goes through the roof. I feel like I'm whining, but it hurts so bad I can't stop crying. Just want to bang my head against the wall so it will feel better when I stop. Thanks for any energies you can spare.

You probably already know to try most of the things I'd suggest...you might try putting pressure on ("pinching") the webbing between your thumb and forefinger--or rather a little farther in....ithe accupressure point sometimes helps me with mine, as long as I can maintain the pressure, at any rate....(I've used a paperclip or a pen lid clip to maintain the pressure sometimes, though it'll pinch and leave a bit of a red mark)...

Deep breathing....and I don'ty know why it works for me, but sometimes just mentally trying to pinpoint the exact location of the pain makes it dissapate in whatever area I focus on....usually can't maintain my concentration very long for that, but it helps for a few moments, anyway.

Other than that, ibuprofin. Maybe (not at the same time as the ibuprofin obviously) a shot of whiskey if you can get past the smell....feverfew makes mine worse, but it might help you...for me, lying down turns purgatory into the deepest pits of migraine hell, sitting up feels much better than the pounding associated with lying down.....

I'm visualizing some energy your way...

Ice over your eyes and the back of your neck. This is hard because I usually take a strong caffeine drink, but with your blood pressure...not a good idea. Lie on your back with your head as flat as possible, After taking the strongest pain pill you can get. Try to put something on your stomach to go with that pill. A piece of cheese and crackers. And some ice cold Nighty night tea at your bedside.
Much healing energy to you!
