Have you ever had a migrain so bad you saw double?

...Hi tuchersheri, I don't get migrain headaches, but when I hsve a headache, I do something that eventually stops it. You might want to try it and see if it helps you. When we get a regular headache, sometimes the brain needs oxygen. To supply extra oxygen, I will hold my nose, close my mouth and blow like a blowfish gently, so that the air will go up into my brain. It stops the headache after about four sesssions of ten blows. Try it, don't blow hard, see if it helps, if so, that would be great. Take care. Have a great New Year.

I have a migraine, although i am not seeing double but my head hurt so badly, my stomach also ache and get affected. My eyes looks so tired whenever it attacks. I am wondering what would be the best remedy for this and is there any cure not to have migraine again?

Tension should be avoided. keep mind free. On getting the symptoms , take the medicine prescribed by the Doctor. Also check your bowl habits.

my wife suffers from migraines.. they are the worse thing in the world. Generally migraines hav tirggers. the catch is that for eah sufferrer the trigge is different. for my wife its caffeine, kidney beans, strong perfume and stress!! stress is a major cause. I remember once she was in so much pain she was out cold for about 20 hours! We found out recently that if my wife went out in the cold (its winter now) the pain got less. migraines as other pains are hot and generate heat so im not surprised that your hot shower made it worse. next time get some one o give you a massage or put a cold press on yourhead. Vomiting tends tomake you feel better. migraine headaches come with a feeling of sickness. if you cvomit it is a good sign. If you are a regular migraine sufferer it best firstly to seek medical help and try to establish what was happenning at the time the attack startd. did you eat something specific were you stressed etc...I can understand what you went thru i hope you dnt have to experience it again. regards.....z

I have had one of those too, sometimes. They can be a pain and sometimes medicine wont even take the pain away. It is very hard to sleep when headaches hit, but it does feel a little bit better when you close your eyes and lay down for a bit.

I suffered with migraines for 5 years before I decided to do something about it. Try everything that makes sense to you, migraines are very individual in thier triggers and symptoms. Stress sems to be the universal factor. I gave up caffeine and hot dogs which helped but my migraines only went away after years of therapy and discovering I had been molested as a child. The stress of keeping those memories buried was debilitating.

I am not sure if I have ever had a migraine or not. I think I did at least one time. It was very painful. I can usually lay down and sleep to get rid of a headache but not when I had that one. I do not know if seen double or not. It just hurt a whole lot.

god,yes.i had to be put out after awhile because i'd have 4 day migraines to the point of hallucinating (meaning i was up all 4 days). funny thing was if i threw up,it usually made me feel a little better.it was odd.

I've been there. What's worse, the last time I had a major migraine, the kind which lead to double vision and vomiting, I was the only person at home to take care of my son who was about 2 years old. It sucked! Now, I'm omre proactive about headaches in general. If I feel a headache coming on I take 2 Excedrin Migraine and drink a cup of coffee. It seems to help ward off the worst migraines and I only have to deal with the occasional minor migraine. But if a bad one really takes hold again, try finding a dark, quiet place to lie down and put a cool washcloth over your eyes.

migraine hits me for three reasons: hunger, caffeine withdrawal and when my chemical sensitivity to scents is forgotten. i think i've always had an active metabolism and though not that sickly thin looking as before i still get reactions that i shouldn't have this body if i'm eating that much and that frequent . i've always been caffeine dependent since i belonged to the top class in high school and now even cafeeine consistency or lack of it in my 3 cups of coffee a day causes migraines incurable by pills that lasts for almost 2 days. certain scents trigger my migraine that brings about the same situation as my caffeine deficiency migraine.

The worst migraine i had was 2 years ago, my grandmother was about to arrive from her 3-months stay in Japan and i was having the worst migraine ever. I felt like throwing up and i wasn't able to stand up. I was irritated by the bubble like thing i was seeing in the right side of my eye. When i did throw up i felt almost ok so i grabbed my jacket and went to the airport. My brother was utterly eyeing me once in a while because the truth be told, im not looking and sounding well. My cheecks were utterly red and he was constantly asking me "Joan, are you sure that you don't have a fever? And you haven't ate yet and you still came, do you want me to get a cab and i'll take you home" Yes, i haven't ate yet because i can't i felt like vommiting remember. It was the worst migraine scenario i had so i took medicine before leaving the car. Imagine, i'm having the worst migraine ever and i was waiting in the airport. haha
