Its a very cheap solution, u need not pay even single cent for that,but u have to pay only time. My sister started doing meditation everyday ,Initially she started doing meditation for 10 minutes a day and later she felt relieved,as days progressed she found great results and now she says she dont know what i migraine now. U can also have a try once.see ur luck . aldbest

The medication that works best for me is Imitrex. If I take it at the first signs of a migraine, I can often limit the severity of the migraine. I also take Topamax and Depakote to help prevent the migraines. Along with the Imitrex, I have found that drinking large amounts of caffeine helps. None of these will completely knock the migraines out, or prevent them completely, but they help a lot.

After suffering for many years and feeling at his wits end my husband was finally able to get a good neru doctor and he is on imatrex injections most times it works if you catch the headache right off. Another thing he did was order my husband oxyen to use at home he uese 15% on a rebreather mask and it stops the headache in about a min. maby its something you could look into. also there are many good headache forums you could check out.

Dear Angel, sorry to know that you have a chronic case of migrains, because in most chronic cases patients should think of their disease as a life time partner who they don't wish to disturb or care less for... I don't know much abut treating it, but I hope you find a way of getting along with it and try to accept it in a different way.. wish you health and comfort..

I've found that the best cure for my migraines is to eat very regularly and never let myself get too hungry. Another thing that works if I get one anyway, is to drink a lot of water as soon as I realize I'm getting it, like two or three good sized glasses. That will knock most of the rest of them out. B vitamins taken regularly also help a little, and I've heard magnesium supplements help some people. Good luck! I'm sorry you're getting them so often. I have trouble coping with just ONE, much less day after day of them!

Yeah i have had this same problem since i was like 7 or 8 and everytime i start to get 1 i drink a lot of water with w/e medicine i take for it and it works sometime but if it doesnt i have had them all day too. There is an "organic" method but i wouldnt recomend that since you have children and take care of your mother. Well thats what i usually do but then again i dont have a lot of stuff going on in my life sorry i couldnt be much help.

I used to have chronic migraine as well. I found that when I went to a movie, alone and sat in the dark theatre with my mind not focused on anything. It actually helped! I think that stress aggravates many women with migraine and makes them longer and more painful. Try just taking a few hours off to sit in a theatre, or read a good book. Leave your family with your hubby if you still have one, or a babysitter if you don't, so you don't have to worry about them when you are gone.

Over the years, I have used or tried different things. Midrin was very effective for awhile. I am using Depacote currently and it works very well most of the time. I still have migraines so bad that they break through the medicine occasionally. Eating properly and on time helps also. Stay away from trigger foods like a lot of chocolate or caffiene. Fresh air, walking, hot showers and avoiding stress all help. I have a rice bag that I throw in the microwave and heat up. Then I put that where ever the pain is and it helps to open up the blood vessels. In conclusion, there is no one miracle cure all. It takes a combination of things to reduce the number of migraines and it is different for each person.

I know right now it feels as if things will never get better. My mom suffered from the really horrid migraines for most of her adult life. She used so many types of pain relievers and nothing ever worked. So she began working on her diet. She avoids salt and chocolate. She still got some occasionally and then went on imatrex. It really helped her deal with the pain. Now, suddenly after all those years they have completely stopped. So, instead of giving up hope, hope you will be like my Mom and the pain will go away completely. The Drs. don't know why it happened and we aren't questioning it. She is just relieved. Maybe you too will be relieved. She also suggests that when the migraine comes to take a really hot shower letting the spray really soak your head. Wrap a towel around your head and try to go to sleep, yes with the towel still wrapped around your head. I guess it can't hurt to try. Good Luck and God bless you.
