Trish pl see what suits you for your migraine treatment.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is one way of migraine treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.

HI Oryx

Here are a few testimonials on healing the issue.

VITAMIN B AND MAGNESIUM
7/31/2007: Chris (ckjj55@hotmail.com) from San Antonio, Texax writes: “My wife had suffered from debilitating migraines for years. The various presciptions the doctors prescribed did not work and had significant side effects. Finally, I did a ton of research and found that migraines are caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B and Magnesium. Since then, a good B-complex vitamin and magnesium supplement a day keeps the migraines away. They start up if she misses more than a day. Also, before she started this supplement, she ended up in the ER again with a massive migraine–I convinced and strong armed the doctor to administer IV magnesium (it couldn’t hurt). Amazingly, her migraine was gone in 10 to 20 minutes. He had never seen this–my wife was amazed–she didn’t know what the doctors did and didn’t believe me until the doctor confirmed. Since then, she is very careful about taking her B-complex and magnesium supplements.”

8/4/2007: Ginnie (gloryboundservant/@/yahoo.com) from Jeffersonville, Indiana writes: “I was having problems with acid reflux, migraines, and yeast infections. For over a year now I have been taking 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar right before bed and I have not had problems since. The doctor was going to put me on medicine for my acid reflux, and since I started taking apple cider vinegar, the medication is not needed.”

Best of health to you

First, it depends on what medication you are using for migraine treatment. Some meds state you can repeat the dose in 4 hours, others require 6-8 hours between dosing. You do not include enough information in this post for anyone to answer this properly. Most all migraine medications can be repeated as needed until the migraine is gone but there should be instructions on the label of the medication, telling you how soon you can repeat a dose.

Unfortunately the latest evidence based study involving acupuncture failed to show it was any better than random needle pricks and thus merely a placebo effect.

tom answers:

These are both good hospitals so I can’t really say. But I do know that NIMHANS is supposed to be THE neurological place in India. However, ultimately I think it is not so much which hospital you must choose but which doctor. Try to ask around and see who is a highly recommended and experienced doctor in this field. (Sorry but I don’t know more than that .. )

tom_migrainetreatment answers:

No, your headache is not necessarily a migraine. Both migraines and headaches can cause sensitivity to light, nausea, and sound. There is a type of headache called Daily Persistant Headache that causes all three of these symptoms. Migraines are typically one sided, and the pain is usually located near the front of the head (around one of your temples). There is definitely something a doctor a can do to migraine treatment or headache teratment. If you are diagnosed with migraines, you can be put on preventative medication. This won’t eliminate your migraines, but it will help for migraine treatment. Your doctor can also help prescribe you a medication to take when you get a migraine, such as Zomig, Imitrex, Midrin, or Axert. Here is a list of various types of migraines and headaches: http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/types-of-headaches.html . It may be of further help to you. Good luck for your migraine treatment, and I hope that you get to feeling better!

Topamac is a psychological medicine and needs Doctor’s prescription

tom_migrainetreatment answers:

A migraine headache is caused by hormonal fluctuations which
cause blood vessels in the head and neck to contract and then
dilate. The first phase, or contraction phase, may last minutes,
hours, or days. During this phase, symptoms can be spots in
front of the eyes, difficulty concentrating, and cold fingertips
and hands. This is called an “aura”. Many people recognize this
phase of their headaches; many others don’t notice any symptoms
at this time. Some people who think they don’t have an  migraine aura
can learn to recognize it.

When the blood vessels dilate, the headache pain starts.
Apparently the hormones over-react. Instead of just going from a
contracted state back to normal, the blood vessels dilate much
wider than normal, causing pain. Other things also happen about
the same time: swelling of the brain, release of certain
chemicals, and perhaps muscle tension. These things add to the pain.

The following are natural remedies for migraine treatment :

1) Chiropractic trement
2) biofeedback
3) Aupuncture, aromatherapy, and myotherapy
4) multivitamin treatments.
5)food sensitivity, increassed blood sugar
6) nutritional supplements
7) herbs
sex hormones.

Most of  migraine treatment in this FAQ are used to prevent migraines
from happening. This section describes things you can do for migraine
treatment when you’re in pain, to reduce the pain.

– Have a bath or shower.
– Lie down to rest in a dark room.
– Avoid bright or flashing light.
– Put something cold on the back of your neck, such as
a cold, wet cloth; or alternate hot and cold cloths
where the pain is.
– Put a cold compress on your forehead and your feet in a
container of warm water.
– Have a drink of water or natural juice, especially tomato juice.
– Have some food, or a nutritious drink, if you
haven’t eaten for a while.
– Massage your own face, head, neck and shoulders, or get someone
else to do those and your back. Relax your muscles.
– Press on two pressure points at the back of the neck. These
points are about two inches apart, just below the base of
the skull. Press for a minute or two. This releases
endorphins that help against pain.
– Massage or press on the fleshy area between thumb and
forefinger.
– Gently lean the head to left or right to stretch the neck muscles.
Massage and relax any tense muscles.
– Avoid sources of stress. Cancel activities so there’s less
to worry about.
– Avoid exercise during a headache if it makes throbbing pain
in the head and neck worse. On
the other hand, generally exercise improves health, and
it may help you relax during a headache.
– Take some niacin (a form of vitamin B3). Taking enough
niacin to cause a flush (blood rushing to the skin) can
provide relief from headache pain, but this much niacin
can also have side effects (flush, nausea, heartburn,
liver damage, etc.) Niacinamide doesn’t have such bad
side effects, but isn’t as much use against migraines, either.
Smaller, safer amounts of niacin are also helpful.
Niacin can trigger a migraine, though.
– Take some vitamin C, vitamin B6, choline, tryptophan and niacin
and/or magnesium.

Common migraine triggers include:

Hormonal changes. Although the exact relationship between hormones and headaches isn’t clear, fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines. Women with a history of migraines often report headaches immediately before or during their periods, and this corresponds to a major drop in estrogen. Others have an increased tendency to develop migraines during pregnancy or menopause. Hormonal medications, such as contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, also may worsen migraines.

Foods. Certain foods appear to trigger headaches in some people. Common offenders include alcohol, especially beer and red wine; nuts, aged cheeses; chocolate; fermented, pickled or marinated foods; aspartame; overuse of caffeine; monosodium glutamate — a key ingredient in some Asian foods; certain seasonings; and many canned and processed foods. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger migraines.

Stress. A hard week at work followed by relaxation may cause weekend migraines.

Sensory Stimuli- bright blights and sunglare can produce head pains. So can unusual smells -including pleasant smells such as flowers and perfumes. And unpleasant odors such as paint thinner and secondhand smoke.

Changes in wake-sleep pattern- either not enough sleep or too much sleep may trigger migraines in some individuals.

Physical Activity- intense exercise even sex can trigger migraines.

A change in the environment– a change of weather, season, altitude levels; barometric pressure or time zone can promote migraine.

Medications some meds have headaches as side effects.

High blood pressure can also cause headaches. So will hypoglycemia or hunger

tom migraine treatment answers:

To be honest, i dont know about physiotherapy. I suffered from migraines for years until i was refered to a “headache specialist”, not a “neurologist”, but a headache specialist, after my initial consultation, she felt that my migraines were caused by a vitamin deficiency, she ordered tests, and sure enough, B12 deficient.
Ever since then, i take 1000 mcg of B12 every day and have not even had so much as a hint of a headache since then.
It might be something worth checking out for you.

“obviously stronger drugs will be better” > Obvious why?

There’s a long list of drugs to try before you start taking opioids and strong pain medication. Ever heard of Fioricet, BAC, sumatriptan, Treximet… ? Lay off the pain meds.

tom_migrainetreatment answers:

It’s possible if she had an epidural during labor this could be causing her migraine headaches also. The only other thing I can think of is that her hormones are not back to normal levels yet, and it’s giving her migraine headaches, maybe once her hormones have time to get back to normal the migraine headaches will go away.

tom_migrainetreatment answers:

Yes…migraine headaches are indeed a symtptom of early pregnancy…if your worried i would take a test…that way you would know for sure…once you take the test you will know and if you are pregnant you can tell your parents and they will help you out and make appointments…how old are you?

The guys who deal with Aircraft fuel are taught correct procedures and follow those procedures when working on the planes or dealing with the fuel. Now, we did have some fools decide not to follow the TO and ended up getting airlifted to the nearest major medical facility. But, if they had followed the TO, it wouldn’t have happened.
If you are working a plane with hydrazine, you also receive hazardous duty pay, as it can kill you. (The money was nice, but I preferred him working on aircraft where he DIDN’T get that money!)
We also had DNA work ups done on him from working with JP4 and Hydrazine, as we were having problems with pregnancies. Nothing irregular showed up.

As for any chemicals… Everywhere you go these days there are sheets for everything and anything explaining what is in it, proper handling procedures, and what to do if you come in contact with the chemical, and that even includes the toilet bowl cleaner!!
