I am the owner of an Oxygen Bar and combine Oxygen with Aroma Therapy.  I have had many customer come in with bad migrains (Some had to be driven here due to the pain).  I give them an O2 session with either lavendar or Peppermint aromas (Must be natural essential oils)  This has helped every customer that I have had come in with this problem.  I just had one this morning and after 15 minutes of O2 and Lavander/tangerine she left without a headache.  Many say this is myth but I know for fact it has helped myself and many very happy customers.  See if there is an Oxygen Bar in yor area.  It can't hurt to try.\n\nOxygen Therapy benefits:\nIncreases stamina and endurance\nDetoxifies the blood and strengthens the immune system\nHeightens concentration and alertness\nRelief from hangovers!!!!!!!!!!\nRelief from stag and migraine headaches!\nHelps the digestion system to perform more efficiently!\nImproves hair and skin conditions!\nImproves stamina!\nReplenishes body’s energy level!\nFilters toxins from the blood!\nClarity of the mind!

Check out the website msgmyth.com.  You could be experiencing acute allergy reactions to MSG.  That would not show up in the doctor's work but their survey might help.  For immediate help for the migraines, eat 2 tablespoons of wakame seaweed.  After 35 years of monthly migraines, wakame stopped them immediately for me.  You can find wakame at an oriental store, or some health food stores.  Good luck.

I suffer from a couple migraines about once every month.\n\nWhile the exact cause of migraine is not known, most experts agree that migraine pain is caused by swollen blood vessels around the brain and certain nerves in the brain. However, certain "triggers" may bring on an attack. The most common are: \n\nFatigue - from too much physical activity, lack of sleep, or too much sleep \n\nStress - periods during or after stressful situations \n\nSome foods and beverages - particularly foods containing nitrites or monosodium glutamate (MSG); foods and beverages containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener; chocolate; aged cheeses; and alcoholic drinks \n\nCaffeine withdrawal - caused by dramatically cutting back or stopping your caffeine intake altogether. Common foods containing caffeine are coffee, tea, and some soft drinks. \n\nMenstruation - relating to changes in hormone levels at the time of a woman's period \n\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/96/103883.htm

I've found that lying down with a cold, damp cloth on my forehead helps. Or you could try doing something relaxing like listening to your favorite music or having someone massage your temples. Sometimes, the same things that can trigger a migraine can also help ease the pain (chocolate, caffeine,etc).

Find out what is causing them and treat that rather than the headache itself and it will go away more quickly.  Like stress, light, sinus/allergy, ect.\n\nI get headaches frequently and finally figured out that I have to treat each headache as a separate issue, because they can be caused by many things.\n\nI used to get headaches in grade/high school and finally figured out that I'm sensitive to florescent lights and sitting by a window so the natural light could diffuse the florescent light made a big difference.\n\nNow days the make several different types of painkillers, such as tension, sinus/allergy, migraine...

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

there is no realy way to make them go away other than to not stress which can be hard to do. but you need to relax. its the tension in the muscles thats caused by the stress that cause the headaches. so the more you can relax he less the headaches will bother you

There are many different types of migraines. I suggest you see your physician to find a treatment plan that works for you. It is proven howevern that a lack of stimulation helps ALL migraines. Turn out the lights, turn off the TV, unplug the phone and lay down in a noiseless and lightless environment.

If you have them repeatedly, you need to see a dr. about it.  I did and its the best thing.  They put me on a treatment program using a few different meds for about 6 months.    I have not had migranes in years.  Mine were from stress. Try yoga or some type of exercise if you are stressed! Both of these help!  Stay away from triggers like perfumes.  Sometimes foods cause them, like strawberries, wines and beers (the sulfites cause them) and chocolate.  My sister gets them if she eats foods with MSG (monosodium glutimate) it's a flavor enhancer that is in alot of seasonings and foods like chips, flavored crackers, etc.  Please go see a Dr. if you can!  I sincerely hope you feel better very soon!

The best person to help you is your Doctor. No-ones advice should replace his.\n\nIt sounds like theres a chance your really bad headaches could be migraines which come in any forms.\nA Doctor can prescribe medications if necessary to help with the management of migraines,\n\nI find ibuprofen for Migraines works really well , and another home remedy is straight black coffee 3 sugars.\n\nGood luck and instead of worrying see your doctor and let him tell you the answers.

Cut down on the caffeine and alcohol, drink more water, get regular sleep, eat a healthy balance of foods.  If absolutely necessary, do not exceed the recommended dose of an OTC pain killer such as Tylenol, asprin or Advil.\n\nFor migraines, what has helped me is taking magnesium supplements (a magnesium deficiency causes the same symptoms as those by a migraine) and seeing a chiropracter.

see a doctor.  Mine prescribed Relpax which works great for me when I have a migraine.  I just started taking Trazadone before bed to get rid of migraines before they even show up!  It's working,also.

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.

There may be no ways to prevent migraine headaches because the exact source of them is not known. But if there are certain foods that trigger them, stay away from these foods. avoid oversleeping, also birth control pills have been known to cause migraines in women. you just have to figure out the triggers of the migraine and stay clear of them. Also relaxation techniques help people minimize the number of headaches. There are many drugs to aid in the prevention of migraines.

Migraine is a genetic neurological disease that there is NO cure for.  However, it can be managed by addressing preventive treatment, trigger management, abortive treatment, and general pain management.\n\nIf you are having a number of Migraines each month you and your doctor can consider using a prescription preventive or a combination of preventatives.  There are hundreds of them and finding the right one is a lot of trial and error.\n\nThere are non-prescription preventatives too.  300mg of Co enzyme Q-10 a day has been shown to a good preventative.  There is also Buttebur, Feverfew, Magnesium and Vitamin B12.  \n\nAvoiding potential Migraine triggers such as MSG, Aspartame, Chocolate, Certain Alcohols, aged cheese, fresh baked breads, etc.  are a good idea.\n\nTreating and aborting a Migraine as early as possible is key.  There are Migraine specific medications that can help.  Triptans, such as Imitrex, Amerge, and Frova and Ergotamines such as Migranal and DHE45 are some of them.  They come in a variety of delivery systems; tablets that you swallow, or a pill that dissolves under your tongue, nasal sprays or self-injections.\n\nThere is also one over-the-counter medicine that has been proven effective for treating a Migraine.  It's called "GelStat" and it is a liquid that you squirt under your tounge.  It contains feverfew to help relieve the pain and ginger to help with nausea.\n\nIf the pain of a Migraine cannot be controlled through the previous methods then analgesic both narcotic and non narcotic may be needed.  Some of these medications are Acetameniphin, Midrin, Fiorcet, Hydrocodone, NSAID's, and Demerol.

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.
