Ice didn't help so I just put a warm cloth on my head.

11. Well Then Never Mind
some people with migraines have cold extremities

warming hands and feet helps them

you should stick to drugs (migraine ones)

20. Ewwwww!
dark rooms, what about clowns? What if they show up?

seriously, that sucks KW.

They can be so debilitating, yet, treatment seems so haphazard to me. I mean you have to take the meds when you recognize you are getting one. Then you have to take the risk of taking the meds.

ewwwww

22. Well What Can You Do Then
except accept that it is coming and do what you did.

Do you have any meds for pain? Or is it Ibuprophen, caffeine, and darkness

23. I could take a vike, but that is like sending a nuke in to kill a skeeter
so I am doing the dark ibufeine cocktail.

12. I had a horrible one today.
I'm able get sit up now around some light. But I thought I was going to die from the pain. I finally had enough medicine in my system to knock me flat for a few hours. Hate the damn things. I hope you feel better. :hug:

17. Ask your neuro. about taking large daily doses of CoQ10. It has *changed my life*. I am not
joking. I've had NO migraines in over five years after having them so bad that I had to stop working.


:hug: I hope you feel better very soon.
