I had a mad migrane yesterday which i had to stay off work for. It fucking sucked. I was alright by the afternoon with just a mellow "ache" all round.
This morning, it's back and it's just the fucking same. It absolutley fucking kills
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I've already tried
And...
And also...
But nothing seems to have worked.
MY FUCKING HEAD IS TAKING THE PISS NOW......
Downie

BASTARD
Fanks Lisa.
Yeah, Migraines are sensitive to light. Might just try going to bed for another couple of hours or so.
Fanks Ho.
"Someone make it fucking STOP!!!!!!!!!!"
Downie Ive been bad with migraines and cluster headaches for about 15 years.. There is not much you can do to relieve pain once you have one, other than take some knockout Ibuprofen is its an anti-inflammatory or Migraleve or even Dislgesics... They dont clear the pain just reduce to a small throb..
Over the years Ive found Icepacks can help on the affected area, cooling your body temp down by running your wrist under a very cold tap to cool the blood down and loads of other silly things..
You would be better trying to find the cause and use preventitive measures.. Found out mine relates to spongulitis (sp) and trapped and inflammed nerves in my neck.. So the doc gives me anti-inflams and a type of beta-blockers steroid..
Hope you find a solution mate as I know they are fuckin killers..
all kinds of things can be the root cause of migraines, eye strain, cheese, red wine, stopping smoking weed, smoking weed on an empty stomach etc. My doctor told me it can be any change in your daily routine. I had a time when i was getting migraines nearly every day. I also had a bad back so went to a chiropracter. One of the first questions he asked me was about headaches and migraines. He did some back breaking manipulation on my spine and neck and Hey Presto, no more migraines just the occasional manageable headache.
as soon as you get the telltale signs that a migraine is about to start (i always know because one of my eyes starts twiching ) have a couple of co-proxamal or a couple of ibuprofen (nurofen) as these will reduce the intensity of an attack. Drink plenty of water as has been said. Also i wouldn't be sittin in front of a computer screen while i had one as this just makes my head hurt more.
hope it goes away soon as they fuckin hurt
yeah I went thru the process of stopping consuming certain foods and drinks to find the prob.. ie, cheese,coffee,onions,chocolate.etc
Also having my eyes tested and getteing glasses also reduced attacks, as squinting and eye strain are major migraine triggers..
Still get them from time to time but as you say as soon as I feel a telltale sign I crack my neck back into place, releasing the trapped nerves..
2 liquid nurofen capsules,a couple of pints of water and a nice dark room usually does the trick.
aDee
Jumped into the deeped and it worked...
Took 4 superstrong Ibuprofen (500mg) and went to bed.
Woke up at about 12:30 this afternoon and i feel great now
