Migraine :(

[lee_bee]

I've had the most awful migraine all day today. Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of them? Or coping better? I was in the ED this morning as I'd had serious blind spots in my sight, they only lasted 20mins but was enough to make me worry lol. My blood pressure was totally fine, 117/79, which gave me relief lol. But yeah, my poor three kiddies have been tiptoeing around all day doing their best to keep quiet and clean the house, bless them!

Maybe try an ice pack to dilate the blood vessels in your head? Heat constricts them so is not good for headaches/migraines.

Hope it fades soon, headaches are so debilitating!

I had terrible ones continuously at the start of my last pregnancy.

Ice pack on the back of my neck, codeine and a cup of coffee helped relieve mine.

I've been getting them a lot in the last few weeks. Hormonal from the pregnancy dr has said. I spoke to my cousin who's a naturopath and she's put me on a magnesium supplement. Bioceuticals muscleze. It's a powder so absorbed quickly. Taken regularly she says it can reduce frequency and severity of migraines. I haven't had one since I started taking it four days ago.
It won't help while you're in the midst though. Sunglasses, lots of water and panadeine is all that helps me. Sleep if I have someone who can watch the kids!!
