Welcome to Gaia! ::

I know I get them all the time, and I know a few other friend who do on here. Just wondered if anyone else here does, and if you do - what do you usually do to alleviate them? Maybe we could share our home remedies and whatnot.

As for me, if I'm out of pain meds at the time, I usually turn out the lights, light up a candle, close my eyes, breathe slowly and think good thoughts. It doesn't totally take away the pain or anything, but it really seems to help.

my camp counsler had rly bad migranes, she took the week off, slept, and went to the doctor to get some medicine- idk, jsut rest. call the doctor

That doesn't sounds fun sad

Well you know i do, but here's what i do

Alternate between 2 different types of pain meds , throw up in a bucket. and lay in a black room ! he he

but to try and avoid them, Well you know my tip which so far. is WORKING!! wear sunglasses while at your computer because that has been triggering off my migraines !!

i am also going to ak my doctor about Acupuncture for migraines, it might be awhile before im back there but i have had acupuncture on my back for Sciatica pain and it WORKS! it really does it's amazing! So i am wondering if they can do it for migraines!!

I get really bad boutsof them, sometimes on a daily basis for weeks at a time and it really is the worst thing !!!

I also read taking the anti-sickness medication Metoclopromide (spelling?) helps because it helps your body absorb the pain meds faster. and stop you throwing up, i take it and it does help with me !!! but you have to get that off your Dr.. well you do over here anyways!

i usually have to go to the hospital for a pain shot to get rid of my migraines and that word artlady is spelled right biggrin but if i can catch it really early i can take excedrin migraine tablets and they help but dont get rid of it all the way

i get migrains all the time i just take some excedrin migrain or if i don't have that some tylenol and go to bed. or i would just cry i try not to take tylenol tho cause i have a high tolerence to pain medication. mostly cause i'm what my mom calls the "accident child" every time she would turn around i'd be hurt i'd either trip over nothing, walk into a wall while turning a corner or hit my foot off a chair that is like 6" away from me somehow. it got to the point when she'd hear a thump or me yelling and ask what i did this time.

wow i didn't know sciatica pain was so commen. i would get it every now and then. then i was in a car accident (that's part of the reason why i get such bad migrain sometimes) was healing from that slipped on some ice and landed on my hip at an anglle. i told my mom where i was hurting and how bad it hurt and she told me she thought it was my sciatic nerve. next time i saw my chiropractor i asked him about it. he told me that's what it was. it sucks so bad cause when i was little i twisted both ankles and almost blew out both knees. so now everytime my sciatica starts hurting bad i can't really walk on my right leg my lower back starts to hurt then it goes to my hip then the pain goes to my knee then my ankle. the chiropractor said all i can really do is my exercises, take a few pain killers and rest.

okay i think i'm done talking sorry for the rant sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop
