Migraine

<< < (3/3)

i get them now and again, chocolate on an empty stomach can do it for me or sometimes if I have a beer on an empty stomach it brings one on, blood sugar low?

I too use Migraleve, easy to get over the counter.  If I take one as soon as the "aura" comes on it ussually progresses through the aura making me unable to read or drive for half an hour or so then disapears without progressing to the pain or nausea.

These days the only problems I have are if I wake up with one AFTER it has passed the aura stage, buts its fortunately rare.

And the occasions when it does progress to nausea, I always feel better when I've puked, so if feeling bad, rather than going out for fresh air to releive the sickness, I try and encourage it to get it over with!!

They always pick the worst times too - lost many a day on holiday to them.

Worst was one that lasted several days, and the tender head lasted another week. Nothing worked to dull the pain - it was agony.

Can't take any of the "remedies" either - sleep in a darkened room's the only relief
