One thing do help though, stay off the computer screen for some time and somehow, you will feel better for a while.


Yeah, staring at the screen will only make the headache worse. I believe it's because migraine is somehow linked to the vision - to the sensitivity to light especially. For a few years now I have been unable to leave the house in the summer without my hat, because even the sunlight will give me a headache! (I suppose it has to do with the brightness...)

I've never been actually diagnosed with migraine myself, but I have little doubt that what I have is anything else - I've been getting headaches rather frequently since I was a kid, and I still do. Just last week I had headache three days in a row. And usually the headaches are triggered by the lack of sleep, so the connection is evident.

In any case, I hope all the best to you, Madison, good luck for trying out different tricks! I hope you'll find a way to ease the pain. :3 *hugs*

Madison,

I bought my bed buddy at a store called Meijers, but i think they're only in Michigan and Ohio. You should be able to find them at any drugstore though. Just don't overheat it in the microwave. You can also get microwaveable hot packs at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They sell one there that is made for sinus headaches.

Good luck, sweetie.

Hunny, I am sorry to hear all about this. i hope everything is ok. I know this is repetative, but i too get migraines. Luckily though i only get them every other month or so. I really hope you find out what is going on and you are alright.

I hope you start feeling better hon. I understand the need to share that sorta stuff just to help yourself relax even if it's just a little.

Did the doctor ask you what you have eaten lately, and if you ate anything unusual to you, or anything in greater amounts than you are accustomed to? Fruits and fruit drinks, and products like gummie candies or candies flavored with fruit juice can contain large amounts of phyto-estrogens. Estrogens can trigger headaches and nausea, to the extent of epileptic or brain tumor-like symptoms, including seeing auras, light sensitivity, nausea, and tremors of limbs. This is one reason why some migranes are linked to hormonal cycles. Some of the things that I avoid because the effects of consuming too much are: Hawaiian Punch-type drinks, those natural fruit flavored Black Forest fruit snacks, Life Savers Sour Gummies, and Simply Lemon lemonaide (they squeeze the lemon peel, unlike lemonaide you make yourself at home). Of two friends of mine who did not normally have migranes, and they appeared suddenly, one suddenly drank a large quantity of fruit punch, another drank a large amount of Simply Lemon. The first incident I had was when I was given a prescription for a different kind of birth control pills.

aw, that sucks. well if the headache part comes back I know that a cold towel/icing the back of your neck can help. The whole neck spasim sucks. maybe try sleeping without a pillow, or a small one. helped me when a disk in my neck was freaking out.
