How do you manage migraines?

I stop mine w/ medicine and some massage but it sure kills me everytime it attack.

If I in a state of sleep deprivation, certain migraine attack. To get rid of migraine, I usually take aspirin, and rest. If migraine is not reduced, I decided to check my migraine to doctor. Doctors certainly know right medicine.

i only experience simple headache but when to side of the head experience with too much throbbing pain that perhaps is the migraine. i only take paracetamol for headache. in case i have no medicine i just sleep and massage the side of my head. when it become too much headache i sometimes put below on it and let sleep take it away.

Manage Migraines?? Guess I've done Thousands to Millions way of handling this Migraine but still It Is Coming!!!, Guess the best is TOTAL REST OF THE EYES, AND GOOD ORGANIC FOOD INTAKE AS WELL AS LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER INTAKE!!! TRY it !!!

hi, welcome to my lot. I am also one of the migraine affected. It is really true when we are in pain we just need to sleep and even someone spokes to us softly, it is very annoying. I don't think it is hereditary as no one in my family is having this problem. It is caused to due to sleeplessness, stress and tension. I have tried a few simple things which is helping me to 'get the headache' often. Whenever you feel that your are about to get the pain, close your other nose (i.e. if the pain is on right head, close left nose) and take deep breath as much as you can. On getting up in the morning, straighten both hands and rub them fast till they get warm (a little heat is on), then gently place them in your eyes, cheeks and the ends of forehead. Reciting 'OM' for 3-4 minutes sitting straight in a chair with closed eyes (or closed ears with opened eyes)also helps.

I do not experience migraine. However, I do experience headache sometimes. There are times that it gets severe. I do manage it with Paracetamol. I also sleep sometimes just to forget and ease the pain I have. This is only on my own experience. Maybe you could have also some remedies about it that is more effective than mine. Stress is one of the factor that triggers it. Take care dude!

I was attacked by migraine yesterday on the office and when we are on our way home i had a severe pain on one side of my head. SO bad when it comes and we are in pain. At this time i never get yet the cause or later i will try to surf the internet and find the cure of migraine on how it prevented. This is really i hated to myself. But i can do nothing as of now. Anyway i only do when i have this is trying to sleep and closed my eyes as i can sleep and when i awake for sure i am fine.. You just try also to do that my friend.. And dont forget to consult a doctor coz he is the one who can give you a remedy if ever migraine is attack. Takecare and be happy always my friend and have a nice day...

I get about 4 or 5 each year - I have learned the signals of one so I always carry Excedrin Migraine. I try to get home or be at home if it develops since they can get pretty bad. I have been pretty lucky only 1 last year turned into a true migraine.

Based on what I've learned in school, the most common cause of migraines is stress. That may include mental stress, ocular stress(eye stress), physical stress, and emotional stress. So I think the best way to combat it is through REST and RELAXATION. Give yourself a break. By the way, don't eat chocolates when you have migraines. It makes it worse.

Occasionally I get migraines and I just let it go. Sometimes I just rub my head over and over until the pain is gone. I think when people think too much is the cause of migraine. Like if your in stress or something like that and you spend so much time thinking about it. If you can afford to go to a doctor you should do it. They can give you prescriptions and how to avoid it in many ways.

I think it varies from person to person. I know that for me medicine does not really help. I take some meds when my head hurt then go to sleep, but a day or two later the same headache comes back. So I prefer to just sleep it off because I dont believe meds really help me.

I can relate on this. I suffered from migraines for many years. My doctor has me on Propranolol 20 mg twice daily. It is a heart medication but it works in helping migraines. I've been on this medication for 11 months now and it really helps. I get mild headache sometimes and I just use an ice pack for relief. I find now I don't have to take over the counter pain medication for headache/migraines. I've also changed my diet and I exercise daily. This works for me. I also gave up caffeine. So now when the air pressure rises I don't have to fear the awful pain of a migraine! I really hope you find some relief. I know how disruptive they are in your daily life.
