as a natural therapist i would recommend a few alternate remedy's; try lying down in a dark quiet room, rub tiger balm on your temples & presure points around your neck ,try to make sure you drink plenty of water,see a eye specialist if you need glasses & maybe even see a chiropracter maybe you have a knot or a disk out! (P.S sounds weird but it may be cause you need to do a number 2) good luck & hopefully i havent cause a headache with all of my suggestions lol

You really should get a prescription migraine med that doesn't contain caffeine.  I take Imitrex, I have no problems sleeping with it and it stops a migraine in its track when you take it at the first sign.  Now that you have taken medication, I would take anything else to counteract it, you could cause an interactions.  Maybe take a super hot bath, that always gets me tired.

Please go see a doctor.  My father complained of a major headache for two days before he went to see his doctor.  His doctor told him it was the flu, to go home and take some flu meds and just relax until monday when the rest of his test results came in.  The following morning we were taking him to the emergency room.  He had pneumancoccyl meningitis and was in a coma for eight days.  Please do not think that a pain will "go away" and go see your doctor.

She should go to the doctor and be diagnosed with migraine headaches before you do anything.  You will want to rule our potential emergency situations.  Once she has been told that her headches are actually migraines, then start to research alternatives.  Here is a bunch of ideas for you to consider.\n\nShe should make sure her blood sugars are normal, hypoglycemia can contribute to migraines.  Food allergies can be another culprit.  Watch out for lactose intolerance, excessive caffeine, salt and artificial sweeteners.  Foods containing tyramine can cause them too.  Migraines can be caused by a reaction to birth control pills or smoking.\n\nEssential oil of lavender is very help in calming the nervous sytem and helping to relax tight muscles.  You can make little eye pillows, rub it on the back of the neck or temple, or just smell it.\n\nVitamin B2 and B12 can be helpful.  People who have migraine tend to have lower levels of magnesium, so a magnesium supplement might be of help.  Coenzyme Q10 has shown promise in research trials, but you have to take it for a few months before you can determine if it will have any effect.\n\nThe herb feverfew is worth looking into. Ginger can help with the headache and also the nausea that can accompany the headache. Look into fish oil, melatonin and SAMe, too.  \n\nAcupuncture therapy is very helpful at reducing the severity and frequency of migraines.\n\nThere are so many things you could try, but don't try them all at once, because you won't know which things are working and which ones are a waste of time and money.

Where you in a car accident and hurt your neck?  \n\nYou might be getting migranes from a pinched nerve in your neck. I've had them before and they don't go away.  \n\nThere are two things you can do see the chiropracter or see an accupuncturist.  \n\nI put a link to webmd.  On all types of headaches.

Avoid wine, cheese and chocolate.\n\ntry Excedrin\n\nImitrex is a great drug to stop pain but you need a prescription.\n\nTo stop having migraines, ask your doctor about Topomax or Depakote.

More information on the nature of your headaches would be useful.\n-Where in your head is the pain most prominent?\n-Do you get headaches at a particular time of day? Or after a particular activity\n-Do other symptoms occur with your headaches? Nausea? Sensitivity to light?\n-Do you have trouble with your eye sight?\n\nOf course you should get a doctors opinion, but frequent headaches can have many causes and not all of them physical. Are you under a lot of stress? Do you eat regularly? How is your diet?\n\nIf you see a doctor and have your eyes checked and nothing is found to be wrong, I suggest you try an herb called Feverfew. You can get it in capsules at any health food store. I used to get Migraines and after suffering through the drugs that doctors use to treat severe headaches, I discovered that Feverfew, taken once a day, stopped my headaches from returning without the nasty side effects of prescription drugs.\n\nHope you feel better!

Source Naturals brand migraine blocker works pretty well for me.  I also recommend going to an acupuncturist.  Some insurance companies will cover the costs, too.  Good luck, I get them too so I know how you feel...

Stop thinking about the essay first of all.  Get off the computer.  Take some Excedrin migraine if you have any.  (Or some other pain killer.)  Lay in a dark room.  Take a cold washcloth and lay it over your forehead or on the back of the neck.  Hope something helps!

As soon as you get even the slightest hint that you are going to get a migraine, take a dose of aspirin.  When I do that, I don't get the full-blown migraine (or the accompanying pain).  However, I can still tell that I'd have one if I hadn't taken the aspirin.\n\nTry to figure out what is causing your migraines so that you can avoid them that way, too.  It can be different for each person.  For me, it was monthly hormonal changes (so I had a pretty good clue when to expect them).  For others, it can be certain foods.  I had a friend once who got a migraine every time she ate anything cold, like ice cream or frozen yogurt.  See if you can track down the cause and then avoid whatever causes them.\n\nIf you already have the migraine and it is a relatively mild one, sometimes they can be warded off by either taking a hot shower or soaking your feet in hot water.  It has something to do with blood flow.  The hot shower worked for me several times.\n\nAlso, and I know this is really gross so bear with me, when a migraine becomes bad enough, you will become nauseous and then throw up.  And then, voile!, the migraine will disappear.  (At least this has been true for me and for others I've spoken with.)  So, if all else fails and you're in the middle of a terrible migraine and you just want it to STOP, I suggest working on the computer or reading a book.  For me, this speeds up the process to reaching nausea and then blessed relief.  And, no, throwing up isn't pleasant.  But sometimes it is better than the alternative of feeling like your head is going to explode.

Start with your family doctor.  Sounds like you are having a complex migraine, which doesn't necessarily require having a headache.  She may send you to a Neurologist or cat scan your brain. \n\nKevin Fischer - MS4

sounds like a migraine - unless you've had a head injury recently? in which case - go to your local A/E dept and get checked out. if no head injury - see your GP for some special migraine tablets that are stronger than ordinary paracetamol

If you haven't seen a doctor since the accident, I would suggest seeing one sometime next week.  Since this has been going on for 6 months, the urgency of an Emergency Room is unwarranted.  The possiblity of a pinched nerve does exist and massage therapy would do wonders as well as making the rest of your body feel good.  \n\nAlthough I'm not a big fan of chiropractors, a simple neck adjustment may be all that is needed.  I was involved in a rollover car accident a long time ago.  I would get throbbing headaches whenever I would stand up.  I saw a chiropractor out of the suggestion of my lawyer, and the headaches went away after one visit.  I hope this helps....good luck to you.
