Q: Migraine Treatment?
I am losing insurance at the end of the month and need treatment for migraines. I can’t take triptans because of high blood pressure. I have been taking topamax for almost two months with no result. I suffer almost everyday with one or two migraines. I had a baby two months ago and was diagnosed with pregnancy induced migraines because I never suffered with them before. I don’t know how much longer I can go with feeling like this and properly taking care of my baby. Any advise for what to do?
A: Trish pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.

Q: What is the best treatment for people with migraines everyday during pregnancy?
A: The best treatment would be to go to the doctor and ask him/her what the best treatmen would be.
Q: What causes migraines during pregnancy and what treatments are available?
I’m 16 weeks and 3 days and for the past month or so I’ve been getting migraines on and off. I’ve gotten no help from my regular doctor(s) so far, but I go to see my perinatologist on the 20th and hopefully he can prescribe me something, but until then does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
A: Most likely the new hormone in your system (hgc). If you have tried Tylenol,warm bath,getting some sleep. Then I’d ask your doctor for something,if there is anything you can take during pregnancy besides Tylenol,I’m not real sure on that.
Q: pregnancy with migraine?
hi actually we are TTC and i have migraine headache and i was in treatment and now i stopped to concive.so will it affect my pregnancy or is there is any medication to take during pregnancy?
A: From one migraine suffer to another. Let me say Tylenol doesnt work and you dont have to only resort to this while preggers. Let me say that I took imatrex and then got pregnant. I take a medication called Midrin. Im 32 weeks preg. Luckily ive not had any migraines thankfully but one or two the whole time. However this medication has the same ingredients from tylenol but also other things to actually help migraines. I love when people think oh your preg. you have to be in pain?! Um no. You can take pain medication when your pregnant. Anything in moderation. When I was hospitalized for kidney pain due to a blockage when pregnant with my son they gave me perkacet (SP) Im sorry but if you suffer from migraines Tylenol wont do a darn thing. Talk to your OB and Im sure they will give you midrin. I was told in the very beginning of my pregnancy to use the minimum dosage. I never had to take any during the first trimester. However it is only a B level drug so your good with this.
Q: Update on Pregnancy…or the lack of?
How’s everyones pregnancy going?
Gabrielle Kathleen was born April 24, 2010 at 938pm. She was born at 33 weeks and has be in the NICU since the day she was born. She has been breathing on her own since she was born and we hope to bring her home on Monday. I was put on bed rest at my home at 31 weeks due to Toxemia (sp) and then at 32 weeks 3 days I was admitted to the hospital for sever migraines and not 5 days later I was transferred to Kansas City at 33 weeks because I had developed pre-eclimpsa (sp) while on bed rest. My blood pressure was so high that nothing would bring it down and I had a 24hr migraine and on breathing treatments and oxygen because I couldn’t breath. They rushed me to Overland Park and they said she was head down and I was 3-4cm dilated already by the time I got there. They gave me an epidural and broke my water…finally I was able to sleep, which I hadn’t done in almost 30hrs. They were going to let me try labor but then my urine out put almost stopped and they had to do an emergency c-section because my kidneys were about to shut down. Well…that’s my update…I hope your pregnancy is going well.
A: Oh my goodness! I’m so glad everyone is doing well, that would be a very scary ordeal. I hope you get to bring her home on time and everything goes smoothly.
Congratulations on the little girl!
Btw, we must live somewhat close because I’m in Topeka!

A: you are just experiencing too much stress from your children and you are starting to have a migraine which is usually unilateral or affects on one side of the head.
a good relief would be pain relievers but the most efficacious is the use of topical analgesic… a brand called katinko is very useful and effective. you can find it in chinese or filipino shops or drug stores…
Q: My breasts are swollen and sore. Could I really be pregnant?
For the past month i have had a headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and fatigue. I have seen 2 different doctors who have performed several different blood test, all negative. i even had a ct scan, negative as well. I was sent to a neurologist who decided to treat me for a migraine. I received the migraine iv treatment twice, neither helped. My breast are very swollen and sore esp. at night. Today I started spotting, light brown in color and my ovaries feel swollen. I have tried two pregnancy tests, both negative. I should also mention that i am on birth control but do not take it as i should. i take it everyday but not at the same time everyday. And about a month ago the docs put me on an antibiotic just in case i had lyme disease. I don’t know where to go from here. HELP!!
A: it may be just that ur breast are growing bigger? that’s wut happens when ur breasts grow, they become sore.
hope this helps…^.^
Q: What would be a good treatment for really bad muscle knots?
I have had to have so many massages, either from myself, my husband, or a massage therapist, and the knots keep coming back with a vengence everywhere. I’m 21 and when I was a teenager, before my son, I had no problems with any of this. Now it just seems like I can’t get rid of them. I massaged the knots out of my legs last Saturday and I’m just able to put my pants on today,… very carefully, because of all the bruises. I know magnesium is really good for relieving headaches (I even took it during pregnancy to relieve me of horrible migraines), but I’ve also heard it’s good for muscle spasms, so would it work for the muscle knots? Someone suggested potassium, but a government web site said that was mostly for muscle weakness. What would your opinion be?
I’ve done all this and they still keep coming back. I’ve been having this problem for atleast a year, along with back problems due to faulty vertebrae.
A: It’s possible to get minerals out of balance by taking one and not another.
I’d try a cal/mag/potassium supplement.
I would also highly recommend the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Claire Davies. The first couple chapters should be recommended reading for high school graduation IHMO. It might be in your local library.
Q: Is Clomid the answer or is it too risky?
I’ve just been given a perscription for Clomid and HCG injections. I am 33 with 2 children from a previous marriage 10 and 13.
My husband is 50 and has 3 adult children;he had his vasectomy reversed 4 years ago and now has 8% sperm motility which is lower than normal but reversal is deemed a success.
We have been trying for a babyand I have become pregnant a few times but never progressed more than 6 weeks.I have been given the all clear and told that its not impossible to have a child with 8% motility. Instead of trying to increase husbands sperm, Ive now been given clomid so that I can produce more eggs and up the chances of his sperm “finding” an egg.
The problem I have is that Clomid seems to be have alot of side effects,higher risk of ovarian cancer,hyperstimulation,ectopic pregnancies,weight gain etc and my family history wasn’t asked about.It warns against taking if you have heart problems,asthma and migraine all of which I have as well as female cancers in the family.
I’m worried that I could actually cause myself a problem by taking these tablets and may not ever be able to have children if something went wrong.
What would you do in my situation?
Should we just keep trying without these tablets?
Would you enter the menopause earlier?
We have been offered ICSI but at the moment we can’t afford the treatment.
Please only sensible answers; I know we are lucky to already have children but that doesnt make it easier when you love someone and want to have children together.
just wanted to add that ive been perscribed 100mg dose of clomid
A: It’s crazy…here you are, trying your hardest to get
pregnant..and then on Yahoo answers, you see 13 year olds
posting questions about how they became pregnant, whether they
should or should not have the baby, and how they’re so scared
because their parents are going to find out and the kicker
is…they weren’t even trying to get pregnant in the first
place!
It’s almost a joke, really.
Just as a little story, My husband and I tried to conceive for
a while year. Last year around Thanksgiving time, it finally
happened. I think it wasn’t happening for a whole year because
I was stressing so much over it. I kept thinking about the
baby. I kept counting days, researching my ovulation charts,
reading about all kinds of crazy methods to conceive a child. I
had baby on the brain. Finally in November last year, I gave
up. I had a move to think about. I had to pack things, clothes,
furniture…had to get an apartment, start paying new bills
with my husband, make a road trip to our new state..things were
hectic and I forgot about baby-making, and somewhere around
that time, it happened. I think when you are anticipating a
child, your body isn’t going to respond only because of how the
stress hormones are high even though you don’t know it. And
this can even put your cycle off. It sucks, really. I have some
really helpful sites for you though..you should check them out:

Good luck..I know it’s so frustrating…but it will happen.
Like I said, we tried for a year..now I am a mom to a beautiful
baby who was born in August 2008.
