I use to get real bad headaches, but they finally went away. MIne was probally caused from my high blood pressure.

Ive been suffering regularly for about 18mths now and they are crippling. After a few different prescribed medicines from my doctor (which didnt work), I found Over the Counter Excedrin Migraine (The green and white round capsules) to work.

Take 2 the minute you feel it coming on. I also cut cheese and chocolate out of my diet for Lent as a test to see what would happen, as the doctor reckoned cheese was doing it to me (I love cheese). I noticed since that the headaches have reduced significantly.

Interestingly, the doctor mentioned that I must be a "Neat/ Tidy" person, as that seems to be a trait of Migraine Sufferers! Intersting!

I am not a Neat and tidy person, and I get them, so this theory is not true.

I suffer from Migraine headaches from time to time. What I have found that helps with them to where they do not get as Bad as they used too, is a product called Xango. It is a product that can only be purchased thru a Xango distributor, or thru Ebay. It is expensive in a way, but for me, it has done wonders. I have only had one Bad Migraine in the last 2 months, and I used to get at least 2-3 a month before starting to take this. Just something to consider.

yeah...i have this disease..its dengerous.i follow medication for it.here are some facts of the disease.
Migraine is a painful neurological condition, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head. Absent serious head injuries, stroke, and tumors, the recurring severity of the pain indicates a vascular headache rather than a tension headache. Migraines are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek hemicrania, as does the Old English term megrim. Literally, hemicrania means "only half the head."Migraine is a frustrating chronic illness that is widespread in the population (10% diagnosed, 5% undiagnosed),[1] with seriousness varying from a rare annoyance to a life-threatening daily experience. Treatments are typically expensive. Periodic or unpredictable disability can cause impoverishment due to patients' inability to work enough or to hold a job at all.
Migraine's secondary characteristics are annoyingly inconsistent. Triggers precipitating a particular episode of migraine vary widely. The simplest treatment, applying warm/hot water or cold water soaked cloths to the affected area of head, is contradictory — hot or cold can either increase or decrease pain, though it is consistent in the same patient.[2] A particular migraine rescue drug may sometimes work and sometimes not work in the same patient. Some migraine types don't have pain or don't occur in the head.
Available evidence suggests that migraine pain is one symptom of several to many disorders of the serotonergic control system, a dual hormone-neurotransmitter with numerous types of receptors. Two disorders, classic migraine with aura (MA,STG) or common migraine without aura (MO,STG), are currently proved to be genetic.[3] Additional migraine types are suspected and could be proved to be genetic. Migraine understood as several or many disorders could explain the inconsistencies
especially if a single patient has more than one genetic type.
However, still other migraine types might be functionally acquired due to hormone organ disease or injury. Three-fourths of adult migraine patients are female, although pre-pubertal migraine affects approximately equal numbers of boys and girls. This reveals the strong correlation to hormonal cycling and hormonal-related causes or triggers. Hormonal migraine is a likely consequence of periodically falling hormone levels causing reduction in protein biosynthesis of metabolic components including intestinal tract serotonin.
All migraine knowledge reduces to the experiences of the individual migraineur. Every migraineur has a formula: when to sleep, what to eat, what herbs and supplements to use, what drugs to take, what triggers to avoid, and where to get advice. Prescription medicines are usually necessary, but doctors do not have all the answers. Because a migraineur's daily actions usually have so much effect on the frequency and intensity of illness, there is significant advantage to learning both the scientific medicine and folklore of migraine.+ -

I don't get migraines but I know some people who do and I was told that gatorade will help take headaches away. I have never tried it so I don't know how well it works.


myLot reputation of 74/100. jslymor (128)  6 years ago

That is an interesting remedy. I've never heard that one before. Thanks for the idea! I love Gatorade anyway, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot!

This has been the story of my life for the last 5 years. I am now on MaxAlt 10mg. You only take it when it hits hard .. within seconds I can feel the relief! I have been to over 6 DR's and 3 Specialist. They finally came to realize it was migrans on top of a few health problems from my past. Seems like on days when it rains it is much much much worse! I struggled daily for a long time. Most Dr.s thought I was out to just get pills.. when I started taking back thier pills after just taking 2-4 pills that didnt work they realized I meant business. Pretty sad if you ask me. So many wacko people just want drugs has ruined it for us who REALLY NEED IT!


myLot reputation of 74/100. jslymor (128)  6 years ago

Wow! That is a shame that that happens to people who need it. It's good to hear that you found something that works for you though. Thanks for your response!
