How do you deal with migraines?

[hopegirly]

I realised that after my period this month, it triggered my migraine again and it is reaming for two weeks already... actually i avoid lights because it makes my headache worse

How about you?

Xxx

Don't you have prescription medication for migraines? It's gone 20 minutes after taking it. Get some?

They gave Excedrin migraine pills over the counter that my nephew says help. He also drinks coffee when he gets a migraine.

Turns the lights out and make the room cool. Put a cold 🥶 folded washcloth over your eyes.

Sometimes the cause of my son's migraines were caused by his bedroom being too hot and he would wake up with one and vomit too. So, even in the cold of winter U kept the house pretty cool and no migraines!!
Also have a fan in your room to keep you cool while you're sleeping 😴

I have made a treatment with "topiramato" and it reduced my crisis...
ohhh i did not know that hot makes migraine worse, the place i live is always hot, like 38°C (yes, i am not kidding!)
Maybe it is difficulting my well-being

I learned to catch it before it hit me. So when I feel it's coming, I just take ibuprofen, even if I don't feel any pain yet. It works 99 times out of 100.

[hopegirly]

Wow!! Thankyou!!!
After the treatment i made, my migraine is not too intense but take too long to leave me, so it bothers me indeed

I am almost 3 weeks in pain

I take 4 excedrine migraine pain relievers, go in a perfectly dark and quiet room and lay down until the migraine is gone.

[Sparkie460]

Thanks for the mho

I lay down and be quiet and I turn off all the light cause I'm light sensitive too

[Bklynbadboy12]

Do you have light sensitivity as well

[hopegirly]

Yess, i do 🥲🥲 light and smell sensitivity :/

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. I used to be the same way, but here's the crazy thing. Mine's just stop happening all by itself. I started eating right and working out and they just stopped

[hopegirly]

Ohhh wow!!! That's awesome, indeed and it makes sense, i need to eat better and work out too, i hope i can do this next year ahead hahaha
Actually my migraine was controlled but got triggered through period :(
I feel okay for these last two day 🙌🏼

[Bklynbadboy12]

You can do it. I know you can. If you go on like that have all of these foods you can eat that helps also they highlight that foods that we need to stay away from as well

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I just pop an Excedrin migraine pill. That stuff really works good for that. But if I have my period, I must take the midol for it, as regular med wouldn't make the headache go away. I remember the old method of just putting ice cubes on your head, but I could never handle that because I hated the coldness. 🧊

[hopegirly]

Many people here talking about this medication, i will search this!!!

Yes, i tried cold but it did not help me as i wished ☹️

[KittygosMeoWW]

Ice baths every day have helped with migraines for two months now. After I had my baby I would get migraines so bad I would get dizzy and throw up. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Or gotten your blood pressure checked recently?

[hopegirly]

Oh I understand:/

I have made a treatment in 2018, it reduced my crisis intensity and time but it still bothers me sometimes (but less)

My blood pressure is always okay 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 but i have high peak of heart beats

[KittygosMeoWW]

Ok ❤️ hope you get them less, they really impact life.

[hopegirly]

Thankyouuuu xxxx 🤗🤗

[hopegirly]

[ChicoFromThe305]

[hopegirly]

A good sleep helps me a lot too!

[ChicoFromThe305]

[ChicoFromThe305]
