I'm 17 years old. I've had migraines since i was an infant. My mom remembers seeing me all the way back when i was 3 years old holding my head saying my head hurts mommy and crying and having the usual vomiting episode..anyway, ive been to a neurologist, i left with a hand full of prescriptions of anti seizure medicine for preventatives, which i got Topamax and the classic Imitrex and anti inflammatory drugs..as most of you know these only work half the time and are very expensive.. but when all else fails (because usually it does with my luck with migraines) i
1. definitely use a old timey ice pace with a screw on cap and fill it up as much as you can with ice because it'll melt fast and i like to have mine through the night and the next thing in the morning or vis versa..
2. i have migraines in my temples usually on one side of my head so i heard that peppermint oil relieves pain from migraines so one night i was willing to try anything and i found that Vick's Vapor Rub or any kind of vapor rub works if you put some on the hurting area just dont get it into the eyes OUCH ive done that on accident before..
3. Also, my neurologist suggested that to always have Gatorade around, coke or Pepsi whatever you prefer and a little piece of chocolate..
Gatorade has electrolytes that hydrate you and they are actually salts good sodium that helps blood flow..
Coke or Pepsi gives you a kick in blood sugar and of course caffenine..
The small piece of chocolate also helps in blood sugar and phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is the chemical in chocolate that may cause the blood vessels to expand and contract. However, it's also a natural mood enhancer, stress reliever and memory enhancer. So once again, it may have more good than bad for some people if your thinking about weight or whatever. so that all works together for a headache.. i always just keep Hershey Kisses around and eat one or two! :)
thats all my tricks to the trade.. ive gotten a few new ones from this website too browse through everyones.. it can never hurt to try something if you know how migraines really are..
