Migraine Treatment?
I am losing insurance at the end of the month and need migraine treatment. I can’t take triptans because of high blood pressure. I have been taking topamax for almost two months with no result. I suffer almost everyday with one or two migraines. I had a baby two months ago and was diagnosed with pregnancy induced migraines because I never suffered with them before. I don’t know how much longer I can go with feeling like this and properly taking care of my baby. Any advise for what to do for migraine treatment?
tom answers:
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.

Betty asks…
Migraine treatment?
I’ve had migraines for about ten years now. I’ve been on Topamax, Imitrex, birth control, and a bunch of nasal sprays. Nothing works. Every time I got to a doctor they try to put me back on topamax. Has anyone been treated for migraines with something else that worked when topamax didn’t? I’m trying to looking into different migraine treatment options but I’m not sure where to start.
I get migraines at least twice a week and they’re usually so bad that I can’t do anything.
I’ve kept a food diary and there never seems to be any correlation between food and the migraines. My mom and grandma also used to have migraines when they were younger.
And I dunno if this is important but I generally have low blood pressure (98/56 was the last reading)

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
Donna asks…
What is the duration of prophylactic of migraine treatment?
In recurrent migraine prophylactic treatment is used to prevent further attack. For how long this prophylaxis should be given? Can it be repeated if needed?
tom answers:
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.
Helen asks…
Can anyone recommend a good acupuncturist for migraine treatment in Islington/ Old Street/Hackney area?
Has anyone had any success with any acupuncturists near N1 preferably in migraine treatment but if you know any that have been really good for other problems that could be helpful too. I’ve looked through lists of all the registered ones in the area but there’s no way of knowing if any of them are any good so really need some personal recommendations.
Many thanks
tom answers:
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.
Lisa asks…
For migraine treatment and nueorological diagnosis?
Christian medical college(Vellore) and NIMHANS(Bangalore), which of these two institutes are better for the migraine treatment and diagnosis of some other neurological disorders?The patient has been already diagnosed with migraine,would like to obtain treatment for it,please suggest which institute is better?CMC Vellore or NIMHANS Bangalore?I would like to have suggestions regarding some other medical institutes or organisations,that are renouned for this kind of treatment,provided it is in India.
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 .. )
