You don't want to go overboard - but some caffeine is allowed.  My pregnant cousin's doctor told her to drink cola or other drinks with caffeine to try and help get rid of headaches.

Treatment and Prevention- \n\n1.If your migraines are mild or infrequent, you may be able to get sufficient relief from an over-the-counter pain reliever such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofren--provided you take the pain reliever during the first 30 minutes of an attack. \n\n2.For those who get frequent migraines (two or more disabling attacks per month), prescription medications may be the only way to prevent or reduce symptoms. medications, such as sumatriptan. \n\nNatural treatment -\n1.Two supplements may be useful in reducing the intensity and frequency of attacks. \nThe herb feverfew, one of the most popular migraine remedies, has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. \n5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), helps boost serotonin levels in the brain, and has been found to prevent migraines as effectively as some prescription medications. Both may need to be taken daily over several months for maximum benefit. 5-HTP should be used with caution when using certain antidepressants, called SSRI drugs. \n\n2.For people who average four attacks per month, the B vitamin riboflavin may provide some significant relief. \n\n3.The following foods and substances should be avoided, since they are thought to trigger migraines in some people: nuts, peanut butter, yogurt, sour cream, onions, pickles, eggs, tomatoes, citrus fruits, freshly baked yeast products, alcohol- and caffeine-rich drinks, MSG (monosodium glutamate), and aspartame (artificial sweetener).Some studies have shown improvement in migraines when dairy and wheat are removed from the diet. \n\n4.Consuming fish with a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, such as tuna and salmon, may aid in migraine prevention.

As you state, there is no cure for migraines currently. Migraine is an inherited disease of the brain that has to do with a neurotransmitter called serotonin. At least 70% of migraine sufferers have a family member with migraine. Although medication is the mainstay of treatment, there are many methods of reducing the number of headaches you experience. Some simple ones include limiting your caffeine intake to one cup per day or eliminating it all together. If you do drink caffeine then you should not miss a day due to the potential of withdrawal headache. Regular exercise can prevent headaches. Get regular sleep. Wake up at the same time everyday, even on weekends. Too little or too much sleep is a common headache trigger. Go to the National Headache Foundation website for a list of food triggers. Identifying triggers will require completing a headache diary for several weeks to several months. There are vitamins, which have been proven to reduce headaches. Magnesium 400mg and riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 400mg have both been shown to reduce headaches. It may take up to 3 months to see the full effect. The only downside is the number of pills and the cost. To alleviate this problem for my patients, I worked with a vitamin manufacturer to develop a multivitamin with the above doses of vitamins plus all the vitamins in a regular daily multivitamin. Due to interest outside my practice we have made it available over the internet.\nWe also recommend a trial of physical therapy, which has been very effective. Behavioral therapy is also important since the number one trigger of migraine is stress.\nDon't give up. Remember migraine is a disease just like diabetes is. Diabetic don't make enough insulin, you don't make enough serotonin.\n\nGary A.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one

Before let me to tell you I'm sharing your same discomfort with headache.\nYou should really go to your doctor and stress out that your problem is loweing your life quality as I seem from your words. He has to prescribe you a drug for the pain relief.\nI don't know what kind of headache you are suffering of but as I know if you suffer of migraine you can discuss with your doctor about the opportunity to take Triptans, such as sumatriptan, zolmitriptan (these drugs help to prevent migraine attacks). During acute attacks you can take a drug that belongs to NSAID like ibuprofen.\n\nMeanwhile there are simple steps you can take to prevent headache.\n\nDont' miss a meal, don't drink much coffee and alcool, don't eat much of preserved meats and foods containing monosodium glutamate (low fat and no fat milk products often include milk solids that contain MSG as drinks, candy, and chewing gum) \n\nMoreover it's important to stay away from stress and to sleep enough. Important is also to keep a correct posture especially for neck pain and to do regular exercises\n\n\nRegardin both headache and neck pain, you can try massage too; someone gets benefit from this\n\nHope this help\n\nCris

I found a fantastic way of relieving severe headaches.  I don't understand the science behind it but this really works and no drugs required.  Get a friend or partner  to wrap some of your hair around their fingers right where the pain is and slowly pull the hair.  Sounds painful but it not when your headache severe.  You are literally having the skin pulled off the skull, so you might hear a pop.  This is good.  Dont take my word for it, try it next time u have a SEVERE headache

When you have a headache like that, try standing under the shower in the hottest water you can stand. Let it run on the back of your neck. And about 6 advil if your stomach can take it.

Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body.Also taking a couple of aspirin may help the headache.Sleeping a little more can help you get over the groggy feeling.I use to drink, 6 years ago I quit cold turkey.I use to have to do what I have mentioned.

Depends on what's causing the headache.  Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep).  If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

1 sachet should do the job. ANy more than that and it can give you a head ache. Dont drink alcohol though as it weakens the effect xx

Get someone to massage your upper back and into your neck and head.  Or, go see a massage therapist.  I get headaches that debilitate me, advil and drugs alike just cover up the symptoms, massage can get rid of the headache and help prevent more.  There are at least 20 muscles that when they are under stress or being strained, like studying for school, refer pain to the head, resulting in mass headaches.  Sometimes applying something like tigre balm to the neck muscles, front and back helps too.

Excedrin.  No one in my family has had a headache that wasn't feeling better within 10 minutes of taking Excedrin (aspirin)\n\nTylenol, Aleve..........none of that works for me.
