my migranes are triggered by my hormones- before AF, after AF, before i ovulate and after I ovulated. Whilst breastfeeding i also get them when DS2 increases or decreases his feeds
that means when i could get them at least 4 times a month!!!! A day or 2 of migrane and then another day or 2 to recover- pretty terrible way to live hey
i also cant have orange juice or citrus fruits as well as they are big triggers as well
i get blinding pain in my head- so bad that no drugs relieve the pain. i cant see properly and i vomit sometimes uncontrollably.
for me the magic solution has been beta blockers
they have made a massive difference to my life and now instead of getting a migrane i just get a dirty big headache which is far better!!
if i know that they are coming on, there is nothing i can do but try and adjust my day to make it easier on myself
sometimes getting a massage helps, plenty of fluids
and believe it or not a drink of caffenine!! i dilutes the blood vessles and helps get the blood through to my head. also a heat pack on my neck and another heat pack on my head help increase the blood to my head as well which helps me
its really trial and error what works for you. have also tried natropathy, osteopathic treatment and TCM and got some relief whilst i kept the treatments up
hope they settle down for you
