Migraine??? can be cause by a lot of things, like stress, eyes/ears problem, allergy like if you have hay fever or allergic rhinitis etc.. First you need to identify whats triggering it, then minimize if you cant avoid those factors, do some relaxation technique like yoga or anything you know that could relax you if its secondary to stress, if its really worse then see your doctor it might not be just a simple migraine then proper investigation and treatment will be done.

had a terrible bout with migraine last sunday .... a neurologist friend said there's such a thing as "intestinal migraine" ... it's got something to do with a stomach condition or something that you ate. guess that's what I had ... and my stomach just rejected any medication that I tried to take ... the moment I took a pain killer i just threw up. next I took a couple of antacids and in less than 5 minutes they came up, too. I read somewhere that taking a glass of Gatorade will do the trick ... tried it before and it worked, but not with this latest case last sunday.

take ibuprofen, effective but if still doesn't work na try ko na yung diclofenac sodium (doloflam). kakaantok nga lang pero isang inuman lang tanggal na. it's between ibuprofen and anesthesia na. matindi na sakit nun. :lol: sa biogesic, mawawala for a while pero nag-rerecur.

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: )
