Answers:
Yeah migraines suck!!! I know...been suffering from them for years!
1) See your doctor, he/she may be able to prescribe you something that will help "intense" migraines...beware it may knock you on your behind....
2) Increase water intake...try to get about 10-12 glasses a day...now by water...I mean fluid in general...but water is best...
3) Eat more smaller meals during the day...4-6 is what I hear from my docs all the time...
4) Take away caffeine...horrible I know...but it can cause more headaches than help them...
5) No more chocolate...EVEN WORSE!!!! It's hard...but it is linked to migraines...
6) Bananas, cheese, yogurt, citrus, nuts & pork have been linked to migraines as well...ya might wanna take one out of your diet for a week and see if you have less migraines...play around with it...
7) Excedrin Migraine really does work...it's a cheap substitute cause migraine medication is EXPENSIVE...I pay a $60 copay for mine...it's around $650 without insurance!!
8) A cold washcloth and dim, cool room helps ease some pain as well...I like cold, dark rooms when I have really intense migraine...
9) Change in the weather...if you know it's gonna get hotter or colder in extreme manners...like go from 50 to 70 with a day or two...increase water and stay away from foods that you noticed cause headaches...and have meds on standby!!!
10) Smells can cause migraines...my sister's perfume just smells yucky to me...and can't be around her when she wears it...
11) Overhead lights (depending on the bulbs being used) can cause headaches...so ya might wanna check to see what's going on in your environment when you get one...
That's about all I got for now...best of luck to you!! I know how ya feel!!!
