Dp gets them and he previously treated them with panadien forte, but your bf so i have no clue lol, and panadol will never work. Advil, ibuprofen, antiflamatorys sp? will work better. I got them when i was preg, and i couldnt stand it and took normal panadiene. Hot and cold on your neck, or where it hurts the most. Dp's lasts about 2 days then has the hangover effect for day 3, then its gone :-)
i am a chronic migrane sufferer
they got worse after i had DS2- and i was getting one at least twice a week there for a bit!!!
mine usually last anything from few hours to a few days- and then i have the hangover for the next day as well
i vomit, have an extreemely bad head pain, cant stand light and my whole body is like a ball of tightness, especially my neck.
great to have when you are looking after kids hey!
i am now on a preventative tablet that i take twice a day and it is safe when preggers and breastfeeding!! Its awesome- its a beta blocker - the one that i am on is called deralin. it doesnt stop my migranes but it stops the symptoms. Today i started to get a migrane, so i had the vagueness feeling a migrane brings, but no nausea and head pain was minimal. its strange!!
for me medication that i take when i have a migrane at the moment as i am still b/feeding are
panadeine, and if necessary an ibprofen as well
although ibprofen is best to stay away from when feeding, sometimes i have to - they say it hasnt been proven safe, but not proven unsafe!!
also voltaren works for me - it safe when b/feeding- i get bad neck pain and that is how my migranes start so if i can get rid of the neck pain when it starts, it can help!
migranes suck!! they are debilitating but for me a part of life
damm hormones!!
Migraines can sometimes be bought on or worsened by a lack of magnesium or salts in the body. Try taking magnesium tablets to help ward them off. Works wonders for some, not for others but its worth a shot
With the aching neck - have you considered going to a chiropractor?
I mostly get hideous migraines only when my neck goes out. It becomes stiff and it becomes difficult to move in certain directions. Since my arthritis flared up I'm very wary of chiropractic and have switched to bowen therapy. Unfortunately it can be hard to get in if you need urgent treatment.
I've had one since Friday night which is slowly getting better. I won't talk about how I'm medicating it - it's something that would leave most people incapacitated but with my arthritis I've built up quite a tolerance to codeine and can still function while taking it. And it's not something that would be safe to do while breastfeeding. But seriously, consider the chiropractic, or similar.
