Migraine Tips


tazmanic

Recommended Posts

When my migraine strikes, I drink Ibuprofen/Paracetamol/Mefenamic Acid. But if I take my medicine too late (as in malakas na siya) I usually just throw up :sick: then try to sleep it off. The room has to be cool and dark, kasi heat and bright lights either trigger or worsen it.

i get these migraines evry so often and for me the following techniques have worked thus far --

 

1 - lots and lots of water. no caffeine (coffee, cola, tea)

 

2 - a warm shower

 

3 - 500 mg of mefenamic acid

 

4 - a dark, cool room

 

5 - around 6 hours of sleep

 

6 - when i wake up, another shower, cold this time

 

7 - some food after the shower

 

i usually feel better after this.

 

notice how after a migraine you have this wonderful sense of well being... na parang ang gaan ng feeling mo... isa daw yan sa unique characteristics ng migraine.

Pahinga ka lang.... Migraine just like Headache is caused by lack of oxygen in the brain... kaya kung pede breath ka pure oxy eh gawin mo.. meron ata nun sa mga derm clinic but thats not easily accesible from where we are most of the time migraine hits....just rest..

if you can, just sleep it off or drink lots of water.

I agree. I was told it was just a matter of drinking a lot of water. I average at least 3 litres a day and haven't experienced an attack for about a year now (unless I'm deprived of sleep :boo: )

here's my prescription for migraines (over-the-counter drugs naman ito)

1. cinnarizine 25mg tablet 3 x a day

2. naproxen 500mg tablet 3 x a day

3. betahistine mesylate (Vertilate) 12 mg tablet 3 x day

 

take it as necessary....try to think of relaxing things....avoid caffeine drinks such as coke, coffee etc.
