I had regular severe migraines from age 23 to age 43 and they got much worse as I got older. The answer lay in fixing my TMJ problem. You can read all about TemperoMandibular Jaw dysfunction on the internet. There's heaps around about it. An oral surgeon arranged a dentist to create a mouth plate to correct the jaw alignment and it was an instant cure. Only wore the plate for about 6 months and never needed it again. It truly worked for me and it may work for you too. A

as a migraine sufferer i use a menthol ointment somewhat like vicks but i would imagine vicks would work as well.... i place it on my face and up my nose with a q-tip and then place a warm towel over my face...its so relaxing it puts me right to sleep

In a dark room, I put in earplugs, lie on my back with ice in a rolled towel under my neck. I put a drop or two of rosemary oil on a washcloth and put in on my chest (so that it's not overwhelming)and hold a pillow or a rolled towel over JUST my eyes/forehead (for slight pressure). A pillow under the knees helps too.

Migraine:
At 16 I had classic migraines including a white spot in the center of my visual field, or the aura, a wavy line thru my visual field for about 20 min. After that came incapacitating headache with slight loss of control of the left side of my body. Very upset stomach and aversion to light. Lasted as long as three days. I had these several times per year particularly after finals or stress. Went to the head doctor at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Clinic. He said, forget the drugs. At the first sign of migraine rebalance the parasympathic nervous system by taking a hot and cold shower. 5 min of each as hot and cold as you can manage. Stop brow beating yourself and stop worrying about stuff especially in the past.
So I tried it. I'd get in the shower and remind myself that everying was really OK, and I was OK too. After 20 min no more symptoms! Learned to stop pushing myself so hard, and to meditate. Now years go by without even the start of a migraine.
Worked for me. (Once I even applied hot and cold paper towels in an airport bathroom and that worked too!)

Everone says 'have a nice cup-a-tea, it will make you feel better' well i dont know if thats true for everthing, but it really does work for headaches and migranes. My mum suffers with migranes on a daily basis and perscription drus dont do anything. so as a coffee-lover(which in my opinion does not help, coffee just makes it worse,for her at least)and a tea-hater, she did not like the idea of my green tea suggestion. but she'd decided she would try anything. so i made her a small cup of lemon green tea(good old tetly)and mixed in half a tsp.of honey. her migraine was gone completly in an hour. its always her last resort but she knows that it will work.if this doesn't work for you then drink alot of fluid,you could be dehydrated.If THIS doesnt work it could be something to do with your eyes(this was the cause of my headaches when i was in school), go see your optitions or your doctor.thats it, im all out of answers,hope these work for you and remember,rest and quiet time is key

I found out accidentally that 250mg of Magnesium that i use for heart palpitations eliminated my migraines 100%.I took a Magnesium pill instead of the migraine pill as i started to see the aura and within 15 min. there was no sign of my migraine not even phantom pains I have not had ONE since i have been taking magnesium.It might just be me but i am sure glad to be rid of them(migraines).I watch my diet (red 40) and hold to it.

I get severe migraines & I was told to try peppermint oil. You can find it at some special foods stores, I had mine special ordered at a pharmacy. It was around $10 for a small bottle, but you only use a few drops so it will last a long time. Dip a Q-tip into the peppermint oil and apply it where it hurts - forehead, temples, neck - careful not to get close to your eyes. Start with a tiny bit to be sure you're not sensitive and the vapors don't bother your eyes.. you might not feel the effect for a few minutes, so don't over apply it. This seems to last for a long time and produces a very nice cooling effect, also, the peppermint scent is said to relieve upset stomach which can sometimes come with a headache. You can add more if needed. If you lie down in a dark room with a ceiling fan lightly blowing this will make it more 'cool'.. also, if you use cloth ice packs, such a cloth bag filled with ice that has been kept in the freezer, you can apply 2 drops of the oil onto the pack - just don't place it directly onto your eyes. Hope this helps someone out there!

Goto any grocery store and buy a Piece of ginger root, grind a 1 inch piece up and add to any type of juice. Drink a glass a day. Great in preventing Migrains. Another is eat a handfull of real ginger snap cookies. For imediate relief is take a 1 inch piece of ginger root and chew on it. It is very hot in flavor but relieves the migrine emediatly I know this will help I use it daily

For 27 years, I took all kinds of over the counter pain pills. ( In excess ) I'm surprised I never created more problems. I went to a chiropractor who took x-rays of my whole spine. When I saw the x-ray, I couldn't believe it. The very first vertabre at the top of my neck was actually cocked sideways, causing to pinch a nerve. He worked with me, gently, 3 times a week, then 2, and then once a week. Got another x-ray, not only was my vertabre straight once again... But I have been migraine free for 2 years now. Good bye pills, I can now enjoy my children.

I have had migraines since I was about 18 yrs old. I have tried all kinds of new medication and nothing worked, I put pressure on my temples and that worked a little but I found a way to watch my kids and help the pain. I have my kids take turns sitting on my head. I know a little wierd but for a single mom with no one to help watch the kids so she can take a nap for 30 mins (more like 3 days) I found that it works and they often argue who gets to sit on mommys head.
