Hi,
i'll answer Ur question in 2parts.
Firstly,take aspirin tab('if U r not susceptible'),after light snack-instead of paracetamol.likely U'll be getting faster pain relief.
Secondly,start with ice followed by hot massage.this will reduce intensity of pain.

Whenever I have a migraine, the first thing I do is take something to eat, then take mefenamic acid and then lie down in a dark room. I try to sleep so that I would not be able to feel the pain, hoping that when I wake up, it is gone. Migraine is something I am really afraid of. So when I see the signs that one is coming up -- I see white circles and I am not able to see well, everything is too bright -- I do not wait for the feel anymore. I go home immediately, no exceptions. Have a nice day!

I also try to sleep after taking the medicine but I really find it hard because its too painful. I can't really explain how painful it is. Sometimes I vomit.When I was able to sleep and when I wake up the pain is still there. But with different intensity. Its like somebody hit me in the head. Thank you for sharing your experience. Good day to you!!

When I get a migraine there is nothing that will shift it.
If I catch the symptoms in time and take an over the counter migraine tablet I can often stop it from progressing.
There are a variety of tablets that can be bought from the pharmacy and unfortunately it is trial and error finding one that will work for you.
Migraines are awful. And I hope that you find something that works for you.

well migrane is a common ailment in this world...and theres no permanant curee for it...but it can be controlled.....and very efficiently...first of all u have to visit ur physician!
he can really help u... paracetamol can relieve ur pain upto a certain extent..but beyond a threshold...it cant...a better option is drinking tea or coffee...actually coffee which contains caffaine and theobromin constrict ur bloodvessels in the brain which reduce the blood supply in the sinus because of which u have migrane....a cup of black coffee can really help......
