4 day Migrane.

[Fly_On_Wall]

okay I've had this fucking head ach for 4 days now.
Nothing I do will get rid of it.

I"m now takeing it to the good people of lit.

any Ideas how I can get rid of it?

(I already know the cause, it has to do with what the doctors don't know is wrong with me. So noone has to ask why or say this is why your head hurts)

so please help me out with Ideas to get rid of it.

Tylonal, relaxing, warm shower, meditation.
I even tryed hitting my head off the table till it stoped

 

[Latinababe]

I take cool wash cloths and put that on my forehead then take asprins.. All I can help you with.

If you do that enough...ALL your pain will stop...


did you move to the Extra Strenth Advil? How about Tylenol with Codeine? Or is that a prescription drug?

I try to find some helpful hints on webmd......no luck there.

 

[Silverluna]

caffinee?

You need a high dose of it....but then it will crash with you holding on for dear life....(most things like excedrin migrane have it)....teas? non caffinated!!! Green tea...? Maybe you need sleep?

I am sorry Fly, I wish you a speedy recovery!!

 

[weed]

I get 'em too.

I have to avoid the light. Rest is essential.

Being a weed junkie: ginseng can help, so can ginkgo and feverfew. Help, I say, not cure. The sooner you use them when you feel a migraine coming on the more relief you get. Look for tinctures at a natural health store.

Crawl into a dark quiet hole....that's the best.

Coming off caffeine brings them on for me but for some a hit of caffeine takes them away.

Folks with neurological disease such as MS can be more prone.

Have you had an EEG or an MRI?

*hands Fly a blankey* are you cold, hot? maybe Linus' magic blue blankey from charle brown will help!!

temples mostly and i'm sensitive to light have been all my life .... but i'm not in the light much i hide from it.

the intesity of the head ach has been fluxuating the last 4 days at times it's small at other times it hurts like fucking hell

 

[Svedish_Chef]

Thats life as normal for me... they can last weeks.

If you havent seen a doctor yet do, and if you have...

Live with it.

Being male, you could be experiencing a 'cluster' headache if it's on one side or centrally located. Cluster headaches are generally gender specific.

Does that mean only males can be cluster fucked?

And why is this so?

 

[weed]

I'm a clustered female. Always the same spot. Would like to surgically remove it from my head.

yah my mom has MS i know that

and yes I have, i'm getting the results i think Tuesday or Wed

 

[DustyWolfe]

Have you nothing prescription?

You might talk to your doctor tomorrow and see if you can get something like maxalt or imitrex

Fly,

The only thing I can say is take Excedrin Migrane and lay in as dark an area as you can find. That is the only thing that works for me when I have a Migrane come on.

After that make an appointment with the doctor and try to get a presciption of Imatrix or something along those lines. When you start feeling the symptoms after that take one it will stop it before it hits.

Excedin Migraine works for my wife, but its STRONG

Save a few bucks and buy her the "extra-strength Excedrin" -- it's exactly the same formula for about $100 a bottle cheaper (50 tablet size)

 

[Weird Harold]

any Ideas how I can get rid of it?

Two suggestions that haven't been mentioned so far.

1: Dehydration can make headaches worse -- actually it adds a dehydration headache to whatever kind you already have.

Drink LOTS of water/Gatorade/Non-caffiennated drinks.

2: There is an acu-pressure point in the web between the thumb and forefinger. Spread your thumb out at a 45 degree angle and squeeze the web firmly about even with the second joint of the thumb. You'll notice the stress and pain receding away -- like water draining from the areas that hurt.


One additonal thought -- pain relievers aren't the only medication that can help headaches. Often a decongestant and/or antihistimine will help reduce any swelling that is contributing to the headache and make the pain reliever more effective.

See you doctor at the earliest opportunity for some real advice on the specifics of YOUR headache. Tell him what you've tried and what worked and what didn't -- it will help him to determine what will work better.

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

seriously
I know what the headach is from and I know for a fact pills arne't going to help. but I do apreaciate all the help from people.

I was thinking of Ideas to sooth the pain not get rid of it.
like mabey tea's or such.

It's something that will have to go away onit's own
I suffer from migrains (runs in the family)and this isn't one of the normal ones
I usualy get pain in the eyes and neck. also stomach pains.

this is a pain in my temles casue from different reasons.

i've been havient them off and on for 2 weeks (yes my doctors know) but this one unlike the others didn't go away after a few hours

 

[cybergirly]

Weird Harold beat to my answer....
Lots of water...how about trying some camamille tea.
Hope it goes away soon

i feel your pain , i get migranes all the time , sometimes they arent too bad , some times they put me on my ass

let me tell you what i do when i had a bad one , a cold wet towel on the face really helps, and dark quiet room also helps, i sometimes play nice slow chill out music , but not always , i stay away from pills they dont do shit for me. Any way get ur wet towels go lie down turn off all the lights and take deep relaxing breaths , in my opinion the only thing u can do to stop these migranes is medetation , medetation is a very easy and natrual thing to do , mind over matter is what i belive , you have the power to control every aspect of your body , every organ , every cell , you just have to learn how to all over again

any way i wish u luck

hope u feel better soon

and if u dont i can always do a frontal lobotomy on you
