| Can anyone recommend natural headache/migraine relief? Since moving to southern Ontario I get headaches whenever a storm is coming. Usually it is just enough of a headache to notice- i take a few advil or sudafed and it is gone. However, last week we had a bad few days of storms and I got a migraine for the first time ever- it was awful. I went to the doctors today to see what I could get if/when the migraine happens again. I am VERY sensitive to medication- can't have anything with codeine, I'm allergic to amoxicillian- (both of these medications make my heart race and beat all funny) so my doctor said I'd end up in emerg if she gave me migraine medication (and to tell you the truth- i wasn't crazy on the idea of taking anything too strong)- so basically she said all I can do is take 3 advil and a gravol (dramamine). I am considering trying acupuncture (SOOOOO nervous) and was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I know you're looking for something natural...and that would definitely be the safest route to go. However, I haven't found anything (aside from caffeine) that can help....and even that doesn't help that much. I suffer from migraines and have for years. The ONLY thing I have ever taken that totally takes it away is Maxalt. My doctor prescribed it for me years ago. There are two forms of it..one that you swallow (pill form) or one that goes under your tongue and melts. I'm telling you, Maxalt is wonderful. Now they do make me groggy but it doesn't last long. When I get a full blown migraine, I cannot function. Maxalt works wonders. It's like the migraine just melts away~ |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I forgot to mention that Maxalt is not something that you have to take on a daily basis. You only take one when you feel a migraine coming on. Quote:

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Yes....it's most effective if you drink it immediately when you feel it starting.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | My daughter gets migraines in conjunction with the hormone changes accompanying her period. Barometric changes can also cause migraines....and that sounds like your case.

| I take 4 ibeuprofin (sp) 4 is the same mg as taking the perscribed ibeuprofin, and if it's really bad I take that then lay in my room with a cold rag on my forehead and over my eyes and lay in the dark with no sound. That's all I found that can help me.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I never had them...but do I ever feel badly for my daughter. They can literally make her sick. Who needs that on top of having your period???? She takes imtrex...washed down with a coke. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't.
