well I don't know what to tell you but I feel your pain, if I don't set an alarm I can sleep all day and the only way I wake up is if I have to use the bathroom, hey that gives me an idea, before you go to bed drink a ltr of water!  \nI could ask a doc about this though, probably can help you more then a bunch of morons on the net lol

The first line is NSAIDS, aspirin if you can tolerate it, along with caffeine-at least as much as in a cup of strong coffee (caffieine is a co-analgesic).  In the absence of taking any pills...  Migraines are often the result of allergies, especially to certain foods, so keep careful track of your daily activities, including food intake.  Regular exercise, a good diet, and especially pletny of sleep are critical.  Some people actually require quite a bit more sleep than average, up to 10-11 hours a day.  Dont force yourself to get only 8 hours just because that's average.  If you need more, and arent getting it, you will suffer a myriad of negative effects.  Keeping your stress level down, your physical fitness and nutrition up, and getting plenty of rest is probably more effective than most drugs out there.  In addition, if you drink coffee regularly, going even a day without it can cause a severe headache- So, with the advice above, be sure you keep a careful log of everything you eat and drink, and your sleep, and see if you can find something that is triggering your migraines.

Could be a combination of eyestrain, dehydration and tense muscles.  Get up and stretch frequently, focus your eyes on something distant frequently, drink lots of water.

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.

Some symptoms that you can keep an eye out for is, being figety cant just sit still, always touching the face, the way his hands look (cramped up) not like relaxed the way other peoples hands are, no appetite, pacing and mumbling. Someone on meth does not have to have all of these signs but some. You say this family member sleeps everynight and is hard to wake up, not sure if it could be meth, but marijuana makes you sleep and its a hard sleep. If you think he or she is on drugs have a heart to heart talk with them and tell them that you are worried and care about them and that you both can get through this together and not depend on drugs, tell him or her that you will help him or her out and be there for them, anytime or anywhere. Drugs are not the answer its the problem. Good luck.

I have the same problem - No one has mentioned "environment" (that I saw?) - It's now Spring - What kind of climate do you live in? I'm in CO - and the Humidity today was 8% (Yes, EIGHT percent) - but "cold" so the heater was blasting all night ... so dry air effects me as well as lack of moisture that comes with higher humidity...\n\nOption #2) - Do you take Tylenol PM (or any antihistamines?) - For whatever reasons - these too dry out my eyes (well, B/C they're a type of antihistamine)\n\nOption #3) - People have already mentioned allergies... and alcohol - May wanna check with an allergist about down pillows, or Spring hay fever - or even "mold" if you are in a northern climate, and the windows are sealed - I found my "allergies" were worse in the winter than summer, and never understood this since all plants/trees/weeds and such are "dead" (dormant) - well, turns out Mold in the air ducts was the cause... \n\nIf you go to a Doc, and tell him about using "Clear Eyes" or "Visine" - those too have a "rebound effect" and he'll (she'll) encourage you to go to "natural tears" for the others' can CAUSE red eyes after long term use... But I too still use them, cuz "natural tears" don't remove the red - and don't wanna look hung over at work - When I'm NOT! LOL \n\nCheers and good luck!

Are you sure you aren't doing any illegal substances like marijuana? It has been known to cause people to hallucinate and have phobias for no reason.

Do your eyes only get watery when you wake up?  You could be responding to dry air or it's possible that you have an allergy.  You may want to see your eye doctor to see what he/she recommends.  If it's an allergy, you may need some special eyedrops to help alleviate the symptoms.

YES! I have suffered from hay fever my whole life, and when it gets bad I feel drowsy and lethargic with or without medication.  At least medication gets rid of the other symptons and you can have a snooze in peace.

Dont take any medicines to keep you awake against your body's sleep needs . It is dangerous if becomes repititive, and I dont think you can justify any situation when work is more importnant than sleep or health. It is not a wise thing to do. You are also likely to make mistakes if you keep awake using drugs and do the work. If you are driving or operating heavy machines your mistakes may become hazardous.

she would see things differently, only people she can really talk with semi-honestly are those that are addicted as well. Every thought and action she would have would be related to getting high. It is the only reason she gets out of bed. And should she not use then she is sick so sick worse than you could hopefully imagine. That is for startes....

I just learned this in class, so I'm going to give you a VERY complete answer :)\n\nThere are different types of headaches (believe it or not), and each type of headache is caused by different things.\n\nMigraines are caused by hormonal changes (ie: estrogen), stress, changes in sleep habits (this alters your serotonin levels), alcohol, narcotics, glaring/flickering lights, and certain foods like aged cheese, red wine, and MSG.\n\nTension headaches can be caused by muscle spasm on your neck, shoulders, and the back of your head.\n\nSinus headaches are caused by congestion around your sinuses.\n\nRebound headaches are caused by the withdrawal of caffeine.\n\nChronic daily headaches can be due to medication overuse, anxiety, or depression.\n\nCluster headaches are an EMERGENCY!  When your headache is only on one side, and the eye on that same side of your head also is droopy and tearing, and you feel really restless (ie: you find yourself pacing the floor), and you suddenly get the WORST headache of your life, then go to the emergency room IMMEDIATELY, and make sure your doctor sees you within 4 hours.\n\nMost headaches start when something changes your serotonin levels, and causes your blood vessels to narrow in your head.  At this point, there's no pain yet.  Later, your blood vessels will widen and become inflamed.  This is when you start feeling pain.\n\nThere are a number of things you can do to treat headaches and get rid of them:\n\n1) Keep you sleep habits the same everyday (it'll keep your serotonin levels constant)\n2) Avoid MSG, alcohol, aged cheese, red wine\n3) If you're a constant coffee/soda drinker, know that whenever you cut back on your usual amount of caffeine, you'll usually get a headache.\n4) Over-the-counter medications include Excedrine, Motrin (these two drugs decrease the inflammation and stop pain), and Imitrex (this drug decreases the effect of serotonin).\n5) If you go to your doctor, they can prescribe medications to decrease the ability of serotonin to cause inflammation (ie: triptans, tri-cyclic anti-depressants), drugs to make your blood vessels go back to its normal size (ie: beta blockers), calcium channel blockers, and topiramate.  Alot of these drugs also have other uses (ie: for the heart, anxiety, depression, seizures), but they're given at  different doses for different effects.

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.

that sucks.  i suffer from headaches like that.  its hard to believe your doctor wont take you seriously. if his happens often, try to note what triggers them. could be related to hormones, sensitivity to certain foods, odor, or light.\n\nwhen painkillers&caffeine don't work, the best thing is to lie still in a dark room, no light at all. alternating hot and cold compresses too.\n\nand for gods sake, get off the computer! could be eyestrain!
