Cure
HOT bath to relax
Dark room with a warm moist towel over your eyes
have a lavendar scented candle burning
it works!
Migraines are TEH SUK
For the longest time I would only get migraines about once a month, or less. At first, I thought it was caffeine; I gave up all caffeinated sodas two years ago. Occasionally if I need to drink one (like choking on food or not noticing I'm drinking caffeinated dark soda) I'll get a migraine a few hours later...
But this one is my fourth in 4 weeks.
I'd bash my head on my desk in frustration but my head hurts too much :( :(

Well, I feel more human today.
Went to the doctors' yesterday...
He told me to take a lot of ibuprofen (900mgs)
Gave me the name + number of a neurologist a few blocks from home...
I slept most of the afternoon and felt better by 9pm.

Lying down in the dark helps a ton. Hopefully its not migraines but maybe just stress headaches?

leave those doctors alone, their job is just to keep you coming back to pay for more drugs, not to cure you or give you any real lasting relief.
holistic remedies for the win.
lavander oil on your temples etc...

I get those so bad I cry in teh RL :(. I feel like I should be bleeding out the eyeballs or something with pain like that. Any kind of heat actually makes me feel worse; I prefer a cool dark room with some white noise and no stimulation like strong smells or light or loud noises of any kind.

anyway are we talking about the same lavander, lavander oil?
the smell isn't very strong and you can control it's strength by using less.

My husband gets regular migraines and this is how he takes care of it as well. He swears by excedrin migraine...and Tylenol does nothing for him but he always switches out in case he gets "immune" to a particular headache medication.
Ssoulz is right though...migraine doctors will have you on stuff that will make you crazy...and you'll still sometimes get headaches.

I can't take Excedrin Migraine, as that contains caffeine, which is one of my triggers.

try the chiropractor..
i had a headache for 2 months straight, and when i'd lay down ( or just move in general ), i'd almost faint -every- time, intense insane pain..

Migraines are cured by:
2 Excedrin, laying in the dark in the quiet, quiet room.
When I et a miraine is bad. Noises actually make me nauseus.

Monday the 28th I went to the neurologist.
Long story short, he told me I'm weird, and so is my situation.
Caffeine is one of my triggers. Caffeine is also one of the main components of a lot of migraine medicine. So even though caffeine makes my head split, he wants me to take an Excedrin Migraine just the same.
I also have to go for an EEG (next week) and an MRI (soon).

or you can just listen to me and look into holistic medicine.
if you can find a holistic healer, you will certainly be dealing with someone who WANTS to cure you, not someone who wants to sell drugs to you so they can get into a larger market and get the bigger prizes from the drug reps like some tickets an all-star game or something.

He doesn't want to sell me drugs, because so far none of them have worked.
I do appreciate your suggestion.

I have a hard time with a doctor prescribing medication which contains an ingredient known by the patient to trigger the problem. Unless it's possible that caffeine isn't actually the trigger but something else that coincidentally was occuring at the same time.
I know a trip to the chiropractor has worked for other migraine sufferers I know.
