How is everyone?

 

[Mrtenant]

Suggestions,
Try some soothing eye drops...
Have something warm to drink...
And take deep breaths....4 counts of breathing in , and 6 counts of breathing out....
Try ...it helps me when my migraine sets off...
Deep breathing...

Yea I just want a dark room and to close my eyes. I got meds though

How is everyone?

Should get myself out of this chair and on the path to bed. Mostly resting all day.

For the me the fast version of ibuprofen (400mg) has always helped if taken very early. Now that it didn't this week, and the combo was 600mg + paracetamol 1000mg as with ischias pain or a lost tooth, I've made sure to have that combo in my handbag in the future. I have a hunch I will see more migraine in the coming weeks.

My go to is 800mg Motrin and cup of coffee. Take that 3 times in a day. To prevent bounce back

Yea I just want a dark room and to close my eyes. I got meds though

Meds...tell me...i take every evening to avoid an onset of migrain attack...
Just rest...close ur eyes and deep breaths...
Meds are not very helpful and this i can tell you after 12 years of migraine...
So try including breathing exercises in ur routine .it helped me a lot...
The meds have a side affects as well...
So just try if u like...
For now ...close ur eyes n rest...

And quiet, I assume.

 

[Phoenix123456790]

And quiet, I assume.

Yepp...the sensitivity to light n sound n smell becomes very accute...so u need a cool ,calm and soothing atmosphere and a place to rest when the migraine starts...

 

[Strixaluco]

My go to is 800mg Motrin and cup of coffee. Take that 3 times in a day. To prevent bounce back

Motrin seems to be ibuprofen.

For me the first time I took that combo seemed to work. Considered taking it again, but didn't need to. Then again the night came, and usually that ends my migraines anyway.

 

[Phoenix123456790]

I hope you have meds at hand *brings you a glass of water and a cup of coffee*

Suggestions...my doctor has asked me to avoid coffee if i want to save myself from migraine attacks...so i just have tea...
Try tea or something warm...but if it suits u,go ahead...

 

[Strixaluco]

It didn't sound like his first migraine. I believe he knows.

Please don't mix who you quote and to who you talk to. I don't have migraine tonight (and I never ever drink coffee myself) - it was for MrTenant.

For many caffeine helps, it enhances the effect of pain killer.

The dosage is not very healthy for you ...those impact your other organs as well.so meet a doctor u know...600 mg n 1000 mg are big high and if taken over a period of time continuously, it might start affecting your other organs...i ddnt know it myself, and took those high power meds for avoiding the migraine and it almost cost me my kidneys..
So just a Suggestion...meet some doctor and they will give you something mild to manage it...

 

[Strixaluco]

Get some sleep!

I should indeed. Not late yet, but I don't want to lose my rhythm.

Lotta the prescription meds here are caffeine and Motrin “ ibuprofen “ based.
I finally got diagnosed in my 40s. Migraine specialist examined me and said i got migraines. It’s gotten worse over the years.

I wasn't talking about continuous of course. I was only talking about when the migraine hits!!!!

For paracetamol 1000mg 3 times a day is ordinary (though I know not to take more), 500mg is absolutely useless. Also 600mg of ibuprofen isn't too uncommon - I never use less than 400 for anything. Also their combination is common ans I've had cures just like that prescribed for me for other reasons - meaning 1-2 weeks 3x a day. Let me tell you, doctors didn't think long before they did... And my late husband ate ibuprofen 600mg for years bc of chronic pain because it had less side effects than the options.

Ibuprofen did not cost your kidneys. It attacks stomach, not kidneys like paracetamol.

Actually migraine is a lot more common than people think. I just read about even the so-called tension headache actually being a kind of migraine. It may even be the migraine causing the tension in the muscles.

(Motrin is one product name, ibuprofen is the substance name - like paracetamol, which is the effective stuff in e.g. Panadol.)

 

[Phoenix123456790]

I will try

I was on paracetamol based one

I was on paracetamol based one....

I would try this if it has less side affects...

 

[Strixaluco]

I can guess that, because it's the one straining kidneys.

But having a safe amount of paracetamol + safe amount of ibuprofen is no worse for the kidneys than the paracetamol alone, because they are totally different. Also the safe maximum amount for ibuprofen is actually higher. 600mg isn't even close to that.

Now they have put me on antidepressants for sarotonin boost to combat my migraine...

I hope it helps. I only get side effects from SSRI meds.

 

[cascadiabound]

I have the beginnings of a migraine.

Oh noooo -
take your meds and come put your head in my lap - we'll make the room really dark and quiet.
