Migraine Relief??

Question

Does anybody have any helpful ideas or tips on how to lessen the pain of a migraine? I get them 24/7 because of my Chiari Malformation. Just really desperate for any type of relief. Thank you!!

Answer

I've been taking maxalt which normally helps but in the past year my headaches got bad again because I started on birth control and the maxalt wasn't working anymore. I had several that made me throw up and I hadn't had that happen since I started the maxalt several years ago. I started taking ibuprofen pm so it would help me just try to sleep it off but I realized that it helped with my headache too! It didn't always completely cure it but it definitely made it manageable! Like I said it's not going to take it away immediately like maxalt or other prescriptions will but it helps you sleep and slowly dulls the pain, at least for me. It's worth a shot!

Answer

I always take Excedrin and have a Coca-Cola (if you can find the ones with real sugar, they help even more)...the combo of caffeine, sugar and meds is recommended by a lot of migraine specialists. Over the counter magnesium is also recommended!

Answer

I take prescription drugs. That's the only thing that helps me. Everything else has failed.

Answer

I recommend a massage every two weeks. I'm a massage therapist and can honestly say I have been able to help people reduce the frequency of migraines. I know it can be pricey but if you go to a locally owned business and tell them what's going on and your budget, I am sure you will find someone willing to meet you where you're at. Just don't go to a larger spa because they probably won't budge.  https://www.amtamassage.org/findamassage/index.html?utm_source=%2ffindamassage%2flocator.htm&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=redirect
If you follow that link you'll be directed to a major massage therapy insurance website page that allows you to search for a massage therapist in your area.
