quick migraine relief?
446976
First of all, I am sorry you have to go through the pain. It is horrendous at times. I have suffered from migraines since '95. I have tried everything from prescriptions to vitamins to changing my dietary habits. I didn't want to rely on prescriptions alone, so if you have Tension Migraines which start from your shoulders/neck and works itself up then a quick way would be a shoulder/neck massage. Shower massagers also work just as good. If you have some Eucylptus Oil/Menthol Rub/Sports Creme massage your neck and shoulders first, then a hot shower. It loosens your muscles. Multi Vitamins as well. At any Health/Vitamin Store ask the clek for Fever Few in the gel capulets. This also works for Migraines. There is also Excedrin Migraine or even Excedrin Tension Headache this works good too if you can catch the Migraine in time. \n\nFor the long term, you might want to ask your doctor to have a blood test if you hadn't already had one. From my blood results, I was low on potassium. I am also a coffee drinker, so unfortunately the caffeine triggers mine as well. Stress is also a big factor. \n\nHope you feel better soon!

Working in a hospital, i had a patient with a small spinal fluid leak, nothing too serious, but it was causing him terrible migraines.  So his doc admitted him to the hospital and we pumped his veins full of straight caffeine.  Headache went right away!  Im sure if your doc wrote u a prescription for some sort of caffeine pill, it would be for a headache, migraine, something along those lines.

Excedrin Migrane works wonders for me. I take it at the first sign of a migrane and that takes care of it.

Migraines: Essential Oils Lavender and Peppermint on temples\nTension Headache: Essential Oil Peppermint on spot that hurts most.  Peppermint helps with blood flow reduces inflamation.\nSinus: Essential Oils, Wild Oregeno, Peppermint, Tei fu rubbed on sinus area, avoid eyes.\nInhaling any of these also may work.  Peppermint is very uplifting.\nAlso the meaty area between your thumb and first finger, press on the muscle in that area, you will know when you hit it, very sore area.  Put good amount of pressure with your other first finger and thumb until the pain in head is gone.\nRub the bottoms of feet, I place my foot on a golf ball on the floor and use good amount of pressure and roll it back and forth.  Really relievs the pressure in head.\nHope one of these work!!!!

Excedrin migraine.  But if you're pregnant, put ice on the back of your neck and drink a soda with caffeine in it.

Once you have it, advil or aspirin works well. An ice bag or hot pad on the forehead sometimes helps, or if it's tension-related, a neck or head massage can really decrease the pain. Drinking coffee or a caffeine soda will also get rid of headaches for many people--those who have taken in less than their normal dose of caffeine.\nFor me, and many people I know, headaches are virtually eliminated if caffeine is avoided. Once I realized that my weekend headaches were caused by drinking less coffee on weekends, I stopped drinking coffee and have no more than one headache a year.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one

You really should get a prescription migraine med that doesn't contain caffeine.  I take Imitrex, I have no problems sleeping with it and it stops a migraine in its track when you take it at the first sign.  Now that you have taken medication, I would take anything else to counteract it, you could cause an interactions.  Maybe take a super hot bath, that always gets me tired.

I just answered a similar question for someone else. I'll paste the answer below. Also...Excedrin now puts out "Excedrin Migraines". I've found that on the rare migraine I get now...it helps a lot! \n\nAnyway, here is how I finally stopped getting migraines so frequently:\n\nMigraines are caused by fluctuating hormones. I've suffered from them terribly! I finally found a doctor who gave me this advice...and it's very rare now that I get them! :)\n\nHe told me to stay away from the following foods for a week before my period is due..and until my period stops:\n\nOnions, caffeine, chocolate, red wine, cheeses, foods with electrolytes and nitrates (such as gatorade, bacon, ham, processed meats), nuts, dried fruit and yogurt.\n\nSounds like there is nothing left to eat..but you manage to find things when the alternate is those AWFUL migraines.\n\nI hope this helps you too!

B-Complex vitamins and magnesium work for some people.I read about it in Prevention Magazine and told several people and it worked for some.A negative ion generator(negative ionizer)is also supposed to work for migraine headaches as well as a lot of other things,including depression.

I have the secret!!!!! My friend who uses and is a sales Rep for Topamax passed it on to me. Eat something with potassium. I use Topamax and used to get the tingling fingers and toes. Eat a banana or drink juice with potassium, like orange, banana, pinapple... \nI've actually timed it and the juice seems to take effect about 20 seconds faster than the banana, but a banana is handy in the car!\nIts amazing what we do to keep these migraines at bay!!
