Migraines suck
 

time to try and sleep this beyatch off =( been getting them a lot more lately

drink a beer

nah, doesnt really help, i get really sereve migraines - have since i was a kid, they got a bit worse while i was in the marines

have you been prescribed anything
?

I use to get them bad when i was a kid. Haven't gotten them though since i was like 16 or so.

They suck, and not in a good way.

that sucks man :( yeah, really not much you can do but sleep and wish it will be gone when you wake up

midrin,zomig,butorphanol, vitamins, iron, you name it, they've tried it. they last for up to 2-3 days sometimes

normally i just have to sleep them off... speaking of which... time to go crash out and hope this is gone in the morning!

:sleep

Drink a redbull. the caffeine will get rid of it.

french pressed coffee with cocoa in it ;)

bulbital + apap

aka

fioricet

you can get a perscription for it over the internet

used that - shit knocks me right out... but im groggy for the whole next day almost

for real? i took 2 earlier this afternoon for a bad migraine....i never got sleepy

then again i've taken them for a year now...once a week roughly

smoke a bowl. :pimp :thumbsup

ask a Doc about inderall La for prevention and imitrex for the actual attack..been working for me and i used to have then 3-4 times a week sometimes lasting 24 hours +

Agree with the Imitrex. I've had migraines for over 30 years and it's the ONLY thing that eases the pain. There are other drugs in the same class that might help if the Imitrex doesn't.

I took Inderal for years but it made me exhausted. Now I'm realizing I'm just getting old and out of shape and will probably go back on it ;)

Man, I feel for you. I have severe ones as well. Used to get them once or twice a month. I have been on several scripts and shots. Had tests and scans out the ass. Best thing ever was Anaprox. Docs didn't give it to me...a friend did. It is basically prescription strength Aleve. Now that Aleve is OTC, that is all I use. Migraine hits, I take 3 Aleve, and it is GONE within 30 mins.

My grandma has been having them since she was young, recently she found out that phenobarbitols - a type of barbitues I assume have helped her, check out this class of drugs if nothing else helps.

that's the stuff that puts me to sleeeep

I have the same problem. Cannabis for migraine treatment :thumbsup

take some pain killers then have a sleep.

That's what I said and they just ignored me lol Shit works great for me. :thumbsup

use imitrex aswell good shit that and excedrin migraine.the Excedrin is the only otc that works some times for me but bad ones have to use imitrex.Tried Inderal for a while didn't work at all.good luck man they suck had them since i was akid.Ice helps me some too.

weed only works for me for light headaches.With a Migraine everything makes me want to puke!

smokin a bowl works like a champ for me

i hope you get better now!

Migraine is a form of headache, usually very intense and disabling. It is a neurologic disease of neuronal origin. The word "migraine" comes from the Greek construction hemikranion (pain affecting one side of the head)


Treatment

Conventional treatment focuses on three areas: trigger avoidance, symptomatic control, and preventive drugs.

Elimination of triggers
In a minority of patients the incidence of migraine can be reduced through dietary changes to avoid certain chemicals present in such foods as cheddar cheese, chocolate, nuts and most alcoholic beverages. Some triggers (for example, hunger or stress) may be situational and can be avoided through lifestyle changes. However, other triggers such as particular points in the menstrual cycle or certain weather patterns are impossible or impractical to avoid.

Avoid bright flashing lights if you notice these trigger attacks; most migraineurs are sensitive and avoid bright or flickering lights. Relaxation after stress, notably weekends and holidays, is a potent trigger; wind down gradually if possible.

I have them, too. Not like I used to when I was in school, though.

Mine must be different than yours, because there's no way in hell I could be sitting up in a chair looking at a monitor and typing.

you are not alone.. I am having a hard time dealing with it...:(

How sure are you with that?

Believe it or not, sex works great for me for relieving migraines. I read about it in a medical book years ago and tried it. Works best when the migraine is just coming on. Apparently an orgasm has a vascular effect on the brain which helps a lot of people (both male and female). Since fucking is the last thing you feel like doing, I've found that getting a good blowjob works best. The medical book said that masturbation doesn't work since the resulting orgasms aren't usually intense enough. I did a quick Google on it and found that a researcher at the Univ. of Illinois found that it helped 47% of migraine sufferers. Also found this link http://www.innerself.com/Health/migraine_headaches.htm

Also, it might be an interesting defense if you ever get busted for hiring a hooker, especially if you have a verifible medical history of migraines.

I do have the same...fucking migraines all the time. Try to put smth cold on your forehead. It sometimes helps.

I can relate. I hate them...causes downtime, pain, and they just f'kin' suck.

yep imitrex cures migraines. knocks me right out. can sleep for hours.

Sex is also one of the best ways to relieve my migraines! I don't know if it does something to the blood pressure or keeps my mind off it, but I think I'm one of the few chicks that says "Yes, let's have sex - I have a headache!" :)

I get them also...very severe. Ask your dr about IMITREX if you take it early enough, it will prevent it.

there's an alternative to imitrex but i havent tried it yet - its a very strong prescription and also pricey!! ( $140 Cnd for 6 pills)
