Donating YT 10K Club Member | Do you have anything there caffeinated? Caffeine works for migraines. Hope you feel better soon.

| I am so sorry your headache is sooooooooo bad. I took off yesterday from work because I have had a headache for three days and can't think straight. But is sounds like yours is way worse than mine. Sending warm thoughts and hope you feel better soon. Did you go to the doc? Perhaps you should if you didn't go. You need drugs girl. Who's watching the baby? I hope your not with that awful headache. |

| Oh, Maria, i am so sorry you are in so much pain!! Have you tried an icepack on the back of your neck? That will usually help reduce the blood flow by thining the veins in the neck and thus reducing the pounding of the heartbeat in the head. It always helps me when i get those bad ones!! I hope you can get some relef GF!! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, hun! I too get migraines and take Fioricet when I get the big ones. Deb is right - take caffeine if you have it - not only will it help w/ vasoconstriction, but it is a potentiator of other pain meds.

| My best friend has had to occasionally go into the ER and get IV drugs for her headaches. Maybe you need to call your doctor's office at least and tell them how bad it is. Hope you feel better soon. I don't get migraines but have had sinus headaches bad enough to put me down.

| I actually went to the dr. just last week with a horrible headache. I have miagranes, but this wasn't a miagrane; it was one of those that you feel every heartbeat! I had it for like a week off and on...and this one day I just couldn't stand it anymore. My blood pressure was through the roof, and my pressure is usually normal. She gave me a shot, don't have a clue what it was, but I'm going to find out if it comes in pill form. The headache was gone in less than an hour. We decided it was all from stress! Work has been a mess and got the best of me. Please have it checked out if you think your blood pressure might be involved; that's nothing to fool with. Good luck!

| My dad used to get those often. He actualy used to go a little nuts, so we left the house for hours, till it was safe to make noise again. Before that, we used to put his fit in warm/hot watter, and ice on his head. He used to say, it happened when he skips coffe.

| Aww I can totally sympathize. I've had terrible sinus headaches lately. I have side effects from allergy meds so my sinuses get really bad and I've had a few sinus infections this year. Nothing helps because it's more like pressure than pain and pain meds only do so much and they do not relieve the pressure. Steam from the shower only helps so much and then it fills up again. Ugh I hate to say this because I hate the cold but I can't wait for winter and no allergies!

| Ice. When I get headaches like that, I take an ice pack and go to my room. Do some deep breaths and and relax, try to release the tension. I put the pack on and it will hurt like son of a gun, then i take the ice off. I do this a few times, leaving the ice on for as long as i can. After a few times it goes away. I think it shocks the nerves. good luck

| I have had some awful migraines too. I went to the ER once. Imitrex has been my saviour. You might try this--it sounds strange but it works. It is a meditation technique that really helps. Lie down in a dark room and focus on the spot where the pain is. Just really focus on it as you breathe normally. You'll still feel the pain, but it won't be painful..... I know it's wierd, but try it. You will get some relief. This is a proven meditation technique that people use to deal with pain all the time. You'll get better at it the more you do it. |
