Q: migraine relief?
hi. i have a really bad migraine, and nothing is helping. i’ve tried caffine, so please don’t suggest that. any suggestions?

thanks.

please hurry!!

A: Take Excedrine Migraine or the generic version. Make sure it includes acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine in the active ingredient list. It will work, always does for me, even with the really bad migraines. Make sure you take it with plenty of water.
Hope this helps for the next time!

Q: How can I achieve severe migraine relief after trying so many medication combos?
I have at least 2-3 severe migraines a week. Over the past 3-4 years they have continuously increased in frequency and severity. I have been on numerous combinations of medications to stop and prevent the pain with no relief. At my neurologist’s request I have even tried Botox. I was hospitalized for 5 days in November with a Dihydroergotamine (DHE)(migraine med) and Reglan(antinausea med) IV hooked up to me. I’m tired of taking meds that don’t work and I don’t want to start taking pain meds on a regular basis just to get through the day. My quality of life is next to nothing. A few weeks ago I had a day where I woke up before 7am on my own, I felt great and was full of energy up until around 8pm when my migraine cam back with vengence. I have become so accustomed to feeling bad that I wasn’t aware of how bad until I had that day. I want my life back. What other alternatives may be out there to help me?
I’ve tried several low dose antidepressants, low dose blood pressure meds, low dose anti-seizure meds and other preventitives. I’ve tried Imitrex, maxalt, epidren, fioricet, DHE injections, Zomig as well as others for the migraines and they don’t help. I was put on actual antidepressants before thinking it might help the situation and it made it worse. I became emotional and moody as a result. The low dose antidpressants were the same. Pain meds are a joke! I take them and they don’t really touch the pain, just make me dopey if even that and that’s only the first few times I take it then it doesn’t work and I would need to take more each time to feel any effect. I refuse to go there. It seems to me that my body adjusts to any meds so quickly that it’s not effective or I will have a reverse effect.

A: First I just want to say I am so sorry for your pain. I don’t think anyone knows how much migraines can mess up your life unless you have them.
Mine started lightly when I was 8 years old. At 17 they got bad enough to start the testing/doctor/drug part of my life. Like you, nothing worked and they kept getting worse. At 21 I moved to Germany. After my bf watched me suffer 3-4 migraines a week for months, he made me go to a homeopathic doctor. In Europe homeopathy is thought of as well as western medicine. Let me tell you IT WORKED!!! I was very skeptical, in the US we are taught that homeopathy is a bunch of herbs and silliness. It really is about finding the root of the problem instead of treating the symptoms. I now only get a migraine when I get sick and my body is tired from fighting. Please look into this. If you find a REAL homeopathic doctor who knows their stuff, I promise your life will change as mine did. I got my life back, I hope you get yours too.

Q: Ive had a migraine for a week, whats the best migraine relief?
I have had surgery on my jaw to correct TMJ, so my jaw is supposed to be in good shape but the left side has been bothering me quite a bit recently, and im goin to the dr next week about it. I also have neck pain along with my migraines and Im hoping its all connected to my jaw….but i need some relief until i go to the dr.

I have tried: excedrin migraine, vicks chest rub on my forehead, cool towel, quiet dark room, sleeping etc. But i just wake up with a migraine. Ive had one for about a week now.
Well i was just at my general dr last week and she checked my sinuses and all was fine. Also all my blood work was perfect, so Im assuming it is all connected to my jaw. If I go gt help now, won’t they just give be rx meds and send me on my way?

A: If you have repeatedly taken excedrin migraine, you may be causing something called rebound headaches.

Try a warm bath and put warm moist heat on the muscles of the cheeks by the ears, under the jaw and behind the neck and base of the skull. If it is related to these muscles, the warm heat will force the muscles to relax and help. Plus, when you are in pain, you tend to tense those muscles and make a bad migraine worse.

warm moist heat: one of those heating pads you throw in the microwave with the azuki beans or rice in them will emit that kindof heat; or just use a heating pad; or one of those rubber water containers you can put really warm water in.

Consider going to urgent care or the ER if you have insurance. Your copay might be 100 bucks (or more) but it might be worth it, right? They’ll give you a shot and you’ll be allright.

Oh and she’s right about the orgasm.

Good luck, I feel for you.

Q: Anyone have suggestions for migraine relief?
I get 2 to 3 migraines a week these days and daily headaches. I’ve seen regular doc, neurologist, hypnotherapist, and therapist….all to no or little relief. Sorry to seem dramatic but I don’t know how much more I can take and am ready to end it. If it weren’t for my family I would have done so long ago.

Any suggestions for relief??? I’m at the end of my rope.
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve had a few people suggest trying a chiropractor but I just don’t trust them. Maybe it’s time I did?

I had back surgery in 2005 and it seems that is when the headaches intensified. I think I will make a call this week.

Thanks again….

A: Have you tried a chiropractor? They aren’t for everyone but they help me immensely after my accident. My hubby also has seen them on and off for yrs, usually if he starts getting lots of migraines something is out in his neck. A couple of sessions and he is good.

Q: Is The Migraine Relief a scam?
I searched the net to find a perfect cure for my recurrent migraine. I came across with an e-book on “The migraine relief”. I am afraid to buy it. Have anybody already bought this book? If so, is it useful? The migraine relief scam is a hype or real?

A: I actually used to suffer from migraines a lot and I tried all these drugs and so called cure your migraine ebooks but none worked except The Migraine Relief. Where I was getting migraines every day after reading The Migraine Relief I now only get them once every 2 weeks which is better then nothing. So, to answer your question. Is The Migraine Relief a scam? No!

Q: what is the best customized vitamin company focusing on migraine relief ?
Looking for Vitamins , minerals and herb or anything else that would assist in managing migraine.

Q: Any recommendations for migraine relief? My girlfriend has painful debilitating migraines once a week. ?
Sometimes she has to be hospitalized they are so bad. Prescription medications do not help much.

A: She needs to visit a Neurologist. There are migraine specific medications they can try with her. Two I am familiar with are Zomig and Imitrex. They are in the Triptan class of medications. There are also anti seizure medications used as preventatives. The Triptans are used once the migraine has started or when the symptoms are starting to appear.

I don’t know if she has had an MRI or CT Scan to evaluate her brain, but if not, she needs this done to make sure there aren’t any other problems.

I hope this helps. I wish her the very best. I used to suffer from migraines on a regular basis. I deal with them every few years now. For me, Zomig works the best.

Q: Quick migraine relief. Any suggestions?
I’ve had a migraine since yesterday morning and nothing i’ve tried has gotten rid of it such as excedrin. I can’t take tylenol or anything weak like that because it does nothing to get rid of my migraine. This migraine I have now is just on the left side of my head. Does anyone know any quick remedies to relief the pain?

A: turn off the lights in your room, get a small towel and wet it with cold water, ring it out gently then place over you eyes and relax

I hope you feel better

Q: Has anyone tried the “n2 Migraine relief Balm” does it work?
It’s a product for Migrain relief, and it’s sold as a natural health item.

A: what might work for one person, won’t necessarily work for you and vice versa. maybe u can buy the product and if it doesn’t work, take it back for a refund.

this i DO know works … when u feel a migrain coming on, bring urself to orgasim and it will get rid of it. there have been many articles on it and i’ve heard it talked about on Oprah. i wouldn’t have believed it if i hadn’t tried it. i’d tried all types of prescriptions for it. best wishes.

Q: Looking for a “natural” Migraine relief?
I get migraines every few months and it usually takes a couple days to get rid of it. I have popped Advil for so many years, and now I worry about the effect that will have on my liver.

Does anyone know of any more “natural” relief ideas for getting rid of migraines? I’ve tried cola (caffeine), chocolate, and other caffeinated things.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

A: Both apple cider vinegar and Coenzyme Q10 (taken every day) are supposed to prevent migraines.
