Migraines are taking over my Life!!!!!!!!!

well first of all i want to congradualte you on your pregnacy,i have had migranes an aful lot thru my life and i have taken so much medicine and nothing works for me.until now i found one thing that does work and thats called head on for migranes,and you can apply this as many times as you want.some days i put it on like 10 times in less than 2 hours and it has a very cooling feeling,and it works great.im so amazed by this product.so i suggest you check it out and see if you can use it because you are pregnant.im pretty sure you will be able too.it has nothing in it to harm you or the baby.and also use a very cold ice pack that works great to for me when i get a severe migrane,where i feel so sick.good luck.

Mine are called combination headaches. Pretty much the same symptoms as a migraine according to my doctor. What works for me is a theraputic massage. I found a good therapist that can relieve my headache after an hour massage. It takes a few hours to go away but it is tolerable after they are done.

I have never had this experience in my life. I am learning. This is woman's problem. Can we exercise lightly to solve it? By taking a walk and taking the deep breath.

Hi, I can understand because I too had migrane for many years. But, now by god's grace, it is not that frequent or is very less. I have suffered a lot due to migrane. Few years back, I realised that one medicine I had been taking since long, that was the root cause of my migrane. And, some foods also trigged it. I don't remember the medicine name, but I will find it and post it here. Be careful what you eat and watch which food triggers your migrane. Take care.

I am so sorry to hear of your difficult situation. This should be a wonderful time for you, not such a painful one! I too have suffered with migraines since I was eight. I still end up in the ER sometimes when the prescribed medicine does not work. There are only a couple things I can think of that might help. One is called Head On. Perhaps you have seen their annoying commercials on TV? It's something like thin gel that is applied to wherever your headache is worst. I don't think it would affect a pregnancy, but you could always read the back of the stick. The other thing that I do, is get my sleep mask. You know the one that has a band attached to the mask and you slip it over your head? Well, instead of putting the mask over my eyes, I slip the mask to my forehead, creating a tightness that sort of contains the pain. It doesn't make it go away, but you know how sometimes you feel if someone could hold your head together, it would help so much? That is what the sleep mask does. You could also just use a thick and tight headband. I really hope something works for you. I've heard a chiropractor is good even for pregnant women. I know when I could afford to go, he really adjusted my neck and made my migraines fewer and far between. Sometimes improper alignment really is a cause for migraines. But I understand a lot of people distrust chiropractors. Until I met this one, I did too.

hi there princess mom. I have a migraine when i was 13. now i am 27. this thing bugged me even in my sleep for 5years. but after i found the tips/techniques on how to avoid it, i am no longer having migraine for the past 8 years or so. migraine, as far as i can remember strikes me after schooling. after a thorough review. after a tiring day. basically, it is caused by stressed. at that time, i suffered the pain since i dont know how to control it. i had research on it but i cant find forever-solution to it. so what i did, i followed my doctors advised. he told me that instead of taking medication when it strikes, i just need to control it. here are some tips: do only what you think your body can do. don't overworked! don't expose yourself too much on the heat of the sun. if you want to go out on a sunny day, wear glasses. stress management is the very key of this. if you really cant avoid it.. when you have it, take a nap! when you wake up, its no longer there.
