I did not take more Excederine. I put ice packs on and my head almost "dissapeared" and I fell asleep exhausted. The headache was only really bad for a couple hours, but it was sooo long, over 24...
I posted a day ago about a strange painless migraine I was having. The pain started a couple hours later. I took Excederine. It lessened the pain and I went to bed. I dreamt a lot and woke a couple...
Regarding the hystamine headaches, I've heard of people controlling migraines by taking anti-hystamines before bed each night. Two Benedryl per night. Any thoughts?...
Congratulations! I'm so glad to hear your good news. I hope the combo works for you for a long time! Kate...
I get them almost every rainy or heavy day. It's my most consistent trigger. I also get some sinus pressure on days like this, so at first it was hard to tell them apart, but sinus headaches don't...
O.K. It's about an hour after I first posted, and the pain is starting. I just took an Excederine. I hope one will be enough, otherwise I'll be up all night. Right now its not too bad. It was so slow...
I am having the strangest "migraine" ever. There is no pain and I haven't taken any med. My mind feels almost high. My ability to use words and cope with my life is coming and going. I don't feel...
For what its worth, I'll say a prayer for you. I'm afraid its the only help I can offer. There are lots of people who find a management solution that works for a long time. Keep positive. Find the...
I've only been getting migraines for 6 months or so, but the symptoms seem to shift around the gamut. Today was the first time I ever had a migraine with numbness (hand and foot) Also, my face felt...
thanks Ashley. Ironically, my mother is the only one who doesn't have them! Kate...
I can't really answer your question but I too would like to know more about rebound headaches. I suffer from a similar intensity and also use excederin but find that it definitely messes with my...
I haven't gone to see fireworks in a couple of years because my kids are so young. This year I had a great opportunity to see some really nice ones at a private CC party I was invited to. about 3/4...
I just started using the icepacks (right when they start) and it really does help....
Ashley, I know its upsetting to you. My guess is this guy doesn't really get it. I think a lot of people abuse the "migraine exuse" some of who really don't get them or get bad ones, and because of...
Perhaps when your eyes are tired they are more easier overstimulated, I find any kind of over stimulation to any of my senses causes a migraine. Also, achy eyes could indicate an allergy which could...
I know what you mean. It's like you hurt in a place you weren't even aware of before. I had virus related headahces twice in highschool (I used to get sick a lot because my allergies would leave me...
I had very few headaches for about a month and then had several more intense ones in between my head felt sensitive, like I was vulnerable to getting one. I recently had been taking vtamin C (100%...
Thanks Amby - I had an almost one today. It seems that if I can get rest and just a little caffeine in my system before it really hits, I resist them. However, I don't always get as much of a warning...
Thanks for your posts and encouragement. Everyone I know with migraines had them get worse with time. That's why I'm feeling a little scared about the future. I never had problems sleeping before...
I've been going through the posts and I am feeling a little frightened about what may develop with these headaches. I try not to think about it as I do believe that a positive attitude always boost...
I don't know much about your type of migraine, I am just determining if I have them or not, but it sounds like you have so much going on hormonally with trying to conceive and since they started at...
I have this as well. Its like I'm in clockwork orange and everything is slow and delayed half the things around me don't make sense, and nothing in my body works automatically. I have to overthink...
These headaches have been going on for about 6 months. In January I got the weirdest headache. It was sometimes on the side of my head, sometimes all over. It lasted 3 hours. The Advil I took did...
