Migraines (and what you do when you have them)

[SvennoJ]

Sorry to hear that.
When I get a migraine it's usually telegraphed by a big flashing tear in my vision an hour before it starts. For normal headaches massaging the sore parts of my heads helps a bit and pushing on pressure points. For a full on migraine best is to try to sleep it off. Stress and fatigue seem to bring it on.
Mostly my headaches start from a sore neck, brought on by years of working behind a pc. It's been getting better since giving up programming and going to the chiropractor weekly.

My wife suffers from intracranial hypertension since about 10 years old. On the bad days Toradol can take the edge of a little. Full enclosure sunglasses help a bit, sometimes nothing helps but try to sleep. Listen to the first 48 in a dark room or any other sleep inducing show.
